Katharine McPhee was a vision in white on her wedding day.
The “American Idol” star, 35, tied the knot with music producer David Foster, 69, in London on Friday.
For her very special day, McPhee wore a custom designed strapless gown by American designer Zac Posen. It featured layers of tulle, a sweetheart neckline, and matching veil.
The Broadway star gave fans a first look at the stunning gown on Instagram stories while in a car with her mom Patricia.
McPhee started the hunt for the perfect dress in January with her stepdaughter Jordan Foster, who also happens to be the youngest of Foster’s five children.
Foster proposed to his bride in July 2017 with a huge emerald diamond ring while the couple was on vacation in Italy. The couple first met in 2006 when McPhee was a contestant on season 5 of “American Idol” and Foster was a mentor on the singing-competition series.
“We genuinely love and respect each other and have for a very long time,” McPhee told People magazine.
“Her special day finally came and it was everything she could have imagined it would be. It was a long time coming and this one just felt right to Katharine,” a source told Fox News on Friday. “Regardless of what other people have said about her and David’s relationship – it was more than a decade in the making and she’s happy.”
This wedding marks Foster’s fifth marriage and McPhee’s second.
The boss always shows up!
Pump mastermind and Bravo star Lisa Vanderpump has made her way to Kentucky to celebrate the wedding of Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright, despite the loss of her mother.
Cartwright’s mother, Sherri, took to Instagram on Friday night to let fans know that the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 58, along with husband Ken are down south.
“Ken and Lisa Vanderpump have made it to KYđź’•,” she captioned a photo of herself with the famed couple and their pup. Sherri also posted a photo of the husband-and-wife-to-be with Vanderpump to her Instagram story.
Vanderpump’s mother, Jean, passed away last week and the reality star was said to be off to her native London to make funeral arrangements. She was in the midst of filming for “Vanderpump Rules,” the “RHOBH” spin-off that Taylor, 39, and Cartwright, 30, star on.
Leading up to the Saturday nuptials, Cartwright told People that their boss wasn’t expected to attend the wedding.
“Unfortunately, Lisa probably isn’t going to be able to make it because of her mother’s passing, which is so sad,” Cartwright said. “I feel so bad for her that she had to go through all of this.”
According to Taylor’s Instagram stories, fellow Bravo star Shep Rose is also in attendance for the wedding.

OSAKA, June 29 (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that Elton John was "mistaken" about LGBT rights in Russia, while praising the British singer as a musical genius.
Elton John said on Friday he was deeply upset by Putin's comment that liberal values were "obsolete" and had been rejected by the majority of people in Western nations.
He also accused Putin of hypocrisy for saying that he wanted LGBT people to be happy after reports that gay scenes in "Rocketman," the movie based on the singer's life, had been censored in Russia.

"I have a lot of respect for him, he is a genius musician, we all enjoy his music, but I think he is mistaken," Putin said when asked about Elton John's comments in Osaka where he was attending a G20 summit.
Putin said Russian authorities had a "relaxed and unprejudiced" attitude towards LGBT people, but decisions about gender identity could only be made by adults and therefore minors need to be "left alone."
Russian law bans "propaganda of homosexuality among minors."
Putin also said that while he did not deny the attractiveness of liberal values in general, he was referring to situations where they impinged on traditional lifestyles. (Reporting by Katya Golubkova; Writing by Olzhas Auyezov; Editing by Alexander Smith)
