Kristen Stewart remembers her Twilight wardrobe fondly. The actor revisited some of her most memorable looks during a recent appearance on WhoWhatWear, and the wedding dress she wore as Bella Swan in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1 stood out as a clear favorite.

“I love that dress so much,” she said of the French Chantilly lace gown. “I remember getting into it. It felt like getting into a real wedding dress.”

The actor, who is engaged to screenwriter-actor Dylan Meyer, described the gown as the type of “classic wedding dress” she could envision wearing at her own nuptials. “If I were to ever do like a classic wedding dress, this is kind of the one,” she said, although she clarified that she likely wouldn’t choose that exact style.

The Twilight movies are based on Stephenie Meyer’s book series. According to Vogue UK, the author personally asked her favorite designer, Carolina Herrera, to create the dress. “Being a big follower of The Twilight Saga, I was very flattered to be a part of this fantastic project,” Herrera told the outlet in 2011, adding that she knew the gown “had to be magical.”

“When Kristen put the dress on and looked in the mirror, she was very moved,” Herrera added. “In that moment she was not an actress or a character in a film, she was a bride, and a happy one at that.”

Meyer was equally thrilled with Bella’s gown. “I love what Carolina did with it, she came up with a stunning concept. It’s similar to what I envisioned but with added elements,” the author previously told E! News. “I wanted the dress to be something special, not something that you’re going to see every day.”
