Inside Olympian Mondo Duplantis and Model Desiré Inglander’s Wedding at a Côte d’Azur Château

Reported by Vogue.

When Olympian Mondo Duplantis proposed to model Desiré Inglander, he staged an elaborate decoy — convincing her they were shooting a Vogue Scandinavia digital cover before her entire family and friend group materialized at a Hamptons beach house for the surprise. It was, she says, the most significant moment of her life to that point. Then they got married, and that became the new benchmark.

According to Vogue, the June 2025 celebration unfolded across three venues on the Côte d'Azur — a welcome cocktail party at Villa Eilenroc in Antibes, the ceremony itself at Château de Castellaras in the hills above Cannes, and a pool party finale at Villa Castel — a location chosen partly because it sits near the couple's Monaco home base and partly because Desiré's family already has roots in the South of France. Planners White Eden Weddings handled the logistics, which Desiré credits with allowing her to actually feel like a guest at her own wedding the moment she walked through the doors.

Three Dresses, Zero Compromises

Desiré's fashion choices were precise and personal. For the ceremony, she wore a Grace Kelly–inspired silk organza gown by Swedish designer Ida Lanto — sweetheart bodice, full skirt, dramatic train, bolero with long lace sleeves, and hand-embroidered lace trim — because even in a French château, she wanted her Scandinavian roots present in the room. The reception brought a second Lanto look: a fitted, off-the-shoulder corded lace dress embellished with hand-beaded crystals and pearls. Then, for the after-party, she changed into a custom corseted mini by French designer Antoine Guérin, its bodice constructed from 1,000 individually cut, hand-painted goose feathers radiating from the center like a living sculpture. All three looks were accessorized with Tiffany & Co. diamonds and pearls — a childhood dream she'd carried since spotting the flagship sign on a New York street as a little girl. Mondo, meanwhile, went full James Bond in a white raw silk double-breasted jacket and kid mohair trousers by Saman Amel, a nod to both 007 and his father, who also married in white.

The wedding party extended the sartorial intention: bridesmaids wore custom looks in Shona Joy, a brand Desiré had worn to her and Mondo's first gala together; groomsmen were put in ink-blue bespoke tuxedos by Tiger of Sweden. The ceremony processional opened with a pianist playing ABBA's "Slipping Through My Fingers," Desiré walked in on her father's arm already crying, and the wedding cake was decorated with both Swedish three crowns and the fleur-de-lis — a quiet acknowledgment of a marriage that fuses Louisiana, Stockholm, and Monaco into something entirely its own.

When your wedding fashion tells the story of where you come from and where you're going, three outfit changes is not excessive — it's just good editing.
