The tennis pro, 36, thanked Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour for helping her pick out the stunning Alexander McQueen gown that she wore when she wed Alexis Ohanian on November 16.
She captioned a theatrical Instagram photo of the dress on Wednesday, November, 22: “For the first dress When Anna Wintour asked me what I wanted to wear I said ‘a cape I just want to wear a cape’ she said: ‘well Sarah Burton with @alexandermcqueen is the one for you.’ Thanks Anna. Thanks Sarah. I felt like a princess and superwoman all at once. 📸: @mistadubb @ericamelissa.”
