They say good things come in threes, which must’ve really be the case for Michael Bublé’s new wife, Luisana Loreley Lopilato de la Torre, who donned a trio of dresses for the couple’s two weekend wedding ceremonies! For their civil ceremony in Buenos Aires on Thursday, the 23-year-old Argentine TV star wore a flowing violet dress with crystal details. Then on Saturday, the festivities continued with a religious ceremony and reception in the capital city, where 300 guests gathered to celebrate at private mansion Villa Maria Paz, a source tells PEOPLE. Lopilato’s father Eduardo, visibly moved, accompanied his daughter down the aisle as she glowed in a dress created by Argentinean designer Sylvie Burstin. The gown featured a satin bodice with a plunging neckline, plus a feminine, tiered skirt, made up of layers of tulle and ribbons with silk thread embroidery. She topped the look off with Christian Louboutin heels. Following the ceremony, the couple joined revelers in a spacious tent for the reception, where the newlyweds danced to Dean Martin’s “Everybody Loves Somebody.” South American singer Ricardo Montaner got the crowd moving with his hit, “Soy Feliz,” and not to be outdone, Bublé performed “Haven’t Met You Yet,” which he dedicated to his bride. Halfway through the party, Lopilato changed into a silk chiffon v-neck Marchesa creation (sketch above), with a delicate embroidered waist and detailing at the shoulders. “The wedding was unbelievably joyous,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Crazy dancing until six o’clock in the morning. [The] bride and groom and families and friends had a phenomenal time.” And it hasn’t ended yet: having finally found each other, the couple wants to keep the celebration going. The newlyweds are expected to have another reception in Vancouver, Canada — not far from Bublé’s hometown of Burnaby — in May. –Reporting by Lesley Messer

March 26 may have been a nice day for a white wedding, but radiant bride Reese Witherspoon was thinking pink! The actress walked down the aisle at her Ojai, Calif., estate in a custom-designed Monique Lhuillier blush-hued gown with a Chantilly lace corset bodice and full tulle A-line skirt before exchanging vows with agent Jim Toth. The gown — 11-year-old daughter Ava’s custom Lhuillier dress matched — also featured a double-face silk satin ribbon with cascading silk flowers. The actress, 35, “wowed,” says a guest. “She took your breath away.” Underneath her dress, Witherspoon sported Jimmy Choo’s classic “Macy” satin platform sandal, giving her a boost next to her tall beau. When it came time to party, the bride ditched her long look and changed into a second Lhuillier design, a white silk minidress with a festive party skirt. But the party’s not over yet: since her nuptials, Witherspoon has been seeing wearing a large pave diamond wedding band from the William Goldberg Diamond Corporation, which matches the sparkling 4-carat diamond engagement ring (by the same brand) Toth presented to her when he proposed in December 2010. For exclusive photos of Reese’s wedding — and all the details of her emotional, joyful ceremony — pick up the new issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands today!

Someone’s feeling kinda groovy! Private Practice star Kate Walsh got in touch with her inner disco diva Saturday during a celebration for her fragrance, Boyfriend. The actress and pals — including T.R. Knight and Kevin McKidd (above, working cool costumes!) plus Katherine Heigl (below) — danced the night away at Walsh’s Los Angeles home, getting down to disco tunes spun by DJ Jordan Masterson. Guests sipped cocktails from 42 Below — with cheeky names like the Straw-Bowie Lemonade, Berry White and Studio 42 — and kept the dance floor funky all night. Office star Angela Kinsey and The Hangover‘s Rachael Harris even wore roller skates, and wheeled around the dance floor with polyester-clad friends like Zachary Quinto and Taye Diggs. Boyfriend, which launched on HSN in November and hit Sephora shelves in February, was inspired by a past love, Walsh told PEOPLE in October. “I missed his scent after we broke up and I was shopping one day and I was like, ‘I don’t need my boyfriend to have a boyfriend scent!’” The vanilla, amber and floral fragrance also has some of the woody and musky notes reminiscent of her first beau’s cologne, Ralph Lauren Polo. “Whether you have a boyfriend or not, it’s really that feeling of security, comfort and that good purr factor,” she said of the scent. “I wanted to tell a story with my perfume.” –Reporting by Jessica Wedemeyer

Is Selena Gomez Channeling Steven Tyler?

Are they birds of a feather? American Idol judge Steven Tyler and teen sensation Selena Gomez both showed off some avian-inspired hair accessories on Saturday night at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards in Los Angeles. Tyler, no stranger to the trend, wove feathers into his wavy, shoulder-length rocker locks (a look he consistently sports on Idol), adding an earring for extra flair. Meanwhile, Gomez popped some similar slim, tinted feathers subtly down the sides of her hair — they weren’t even visible from the front. This isn’t the first time stars have experimented with feathers in their coifs: Tyler tried the trend again one day later at Sunday’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, and Hilary Duff debuted a similar look just a few months back, when she added some fluff to her then-brunette tresses. Tell us: Who works their feathers better, Tyler or Gomez? –Kim Peiffer

Talk about a quick-change artist! Though she didn’t take home a trophy Sunday night, Carrie Underwood still made quite an impression at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas, wearing three different outfits during the star-studded ceremony. The country cutie arrived at the MGM Grand in a floor-skimming, royal purple Jean Fares Couture gown, accented with sparkling straps and some elegant baubles (including her gorgeous engagement ring!). Later, for a duet of “Undo It” and “Walk This Way” with American Idol judge Steven Tyler, Underwood slipped into a custom WTB bolero of black silk suiting, with pink metallic mesh trim and black Swarovski crystals (the line is designed in part by Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora). To take the look even further, she added some pink highlights to her hair — and shared a kiss with Tyler! Afterward, Underwood went green in a strapless sequin A-line mini cocktail dress from Farah Angsana, paired with nude Brian Atwood heels and a black Swarovski clutch — perfect for post-ACM Awards partying. We think she looked stunning in all of her dresses, but we want to know what you think. –Kate Hogan

Patricia Field on Fashion: ‘Enjoy It!’

Pat Field Launches Design Contest
Steve Mack/FilmMagic

Patricia Field is known as much for her own eclectic style (and those fiery locks) as she is for her award-winning costumes for Sex and the City, so it’s no surprise to hear what she thinks every wardrobe needs more of: fun! The costume designer tells PEOPLE, “My hint to all is, enjoy it! Don’t be too serious about it. Choose what you like — and don’t get distracted by what’s trendy or what your friends like. Express yourself and you will own it.” So, which celebrity is doing just that in Field’s trained eyes? “[Victoria Beckham] is an example of someone who owns her style. Style is like a flag. When we see red, white and blue we think America. When we see Victoria Beckham, we immediately associate her style with her. To repeat … she owns it!” Field’s latest project to help all women look and feel their best is getting involved in the U by Kotex “Ban The Bland” design project, where girls can help create and submit designs for new products between now and June 29 (three grand prize finalists will be chosen by a vote in August). And, for every design submitted on BantheBland.com, funds will be donated to Girls for a Change; plus, the winners will be flown to New York City to attend Fashion Week and work with Field on a design. Now that’s something to get excited about! –Melissa Liebling-Goldberg

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Jessica Szohr Stars in New Dove Campaign

Raise your hand if you love your underarms! Gossip Girl‘s Jessica Szohr is doing just that, serving as the face (and oh-so-soft skin) of Dove’s new campaign for Ultimate Go Sleeveless deodorant. According to the Wall Street Journal, Dove’s parent brand, Unilever, conducted a survey and found that 93 percent of women find their armpits unattractive. So Dove is working to challenge that statistic, daring people to try their product for softer, smoother skin in just five days. Going hand-in-hand with the challenge is a Facebook campaign, fronted by Szohr, which asks women to design their own sleeveless top for a chance to win a New York City shopping spree with the actress. (Runners up will have their specially designed tops created for family and friends.) Szohr recently shot photos for the campaign; check out our behind-the-scenes pictures above, and click through for her new print ad!
