Model Chanel Iman Marries NBA Star Sterling Shepard In A Surprise Close-Knit Ceremony

The vintage-themed wedding took place amidst Oscar preps, and we love it!

Seems like surprise weddings are the thing of the season!

Former Victoria’s Secret Angel Chanel Iman tied the knot with fiancé Sterling Shepard on Saturday, and honestly, we’re going gaga over it. The model married the New York Giants star player at the Beverly Hills Hotel in Los Angeles, barely three months after their dreamy engagement against the glittery waterfront backdrop in December.

For the Oscar-eve wedding ceremony, celebrity stylist Anita Patrickson dressed Iman in a gorgeous, custom ivory lace gown from Zuhair Murad that gave us major vintage wedding vibes, whereas the groom kept it to the T with a classic tuxedo.

Their close-knit wedding guest list boasted of fellow model Chrissy Teigen, Terrence J, Jourdan Dunn, Beckham, Jr., and stylist Monica Rose. Dunn was presumably the bridesmaid for Iman’s D-day, whereas fellow New York Giants player Odell Beckham Jr. was Shepard’s best man.
