Tallulah Willis Marries Justin Acee in Sun Valley Ceremony
Tallulah Willis, the 32-year-old artist and daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, married musician Justin Acee on Saturday, August 8, in Sun Valley, Idaho. The couple, who announced their engagement during the 2024 Christmas holidays after beginning their relationship in 2023, held an intimate ceremony attended by close family, according to reports from Vogue and IBTimes UK.
Balenciaga Gown Required 712 Hours of Craftsmanship
Tallulah Willis wore a custom Balenciaga bridal gown designed by the fashion house’s creative director, Pierpaolo Piccioli. According to Vogue, the creation of the dress was a massive undertaking, requiring 712 hours of total labor. The construction and alterations of the silk satin column gown accounted for 405 hours, while the hand-beaded organza petals took an additional 60 hours to complete. The veil required nine hours of work.
The design process involved Demi Moore’s longtime stylist, Brad Goreski, who assisted in pulling references for the couture team. The final look featured an exaggerated bow at the back and a sculpted neckline inspired by a black Balenciaga sheath dress previously worn by Demi Moore. Vogue reported that this piece is among the first bridal gowns Piccioli has designed since his appointment as creative director at Balenciaga.
Family Support and Pre-Wedding Fitting
The final fitting for the gown took place at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles roughly one week before the wedding. Tallulah was joined by her mother, Demi Moore, and her sisters, Rumer and Scout Willis. During the fitting, Tallulah reflected on her journey toward the custom piece, noting that she had initially searched for wedding dresses on the online marketplace Etsy before connecting with the Balenciaga team.
Following the ceremony, Tallulah expressed her gratitude to the design team, stating that the dress felt “profound” after years of working to feel comfortable in her own skin. While the Willis family has remained public about Bruce Willis’s 2023 diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia (FTD), reports did not confirm the actor’s physical presence at the Idaho ceremony.
