Aside from launching a fashion line and becoming the poster girl for ‘quiet luxury’ Sofia Richie is poised to start another trend: falling in love with your best friend.
In an interview with Who What Wear the 24-year-old revealed that she and Elliot Grainge “started off just as friends.” The socialite has had high-profile relationships in the past with the likes of Scott Disik and been linked to Justin Bieber and Brooklyn Beckham. However she always help a candle for her now husband, “I would always tell him, ‘Whoever you end up with is the luckiest girl.’ I thought that person is going to be really loved, appreciated, and worshipped. And then I realised one day… Why can't that lucky girl be me?”
She then told the publication, “When we started being romantic, he just gave me a different feeling,” Grainge shares. “It was a feeling of safety. It was the feeling of really being appreciated. I knew when we started dating that he was my husband. It wasn't a ‘Do you think one day he’ll propose?’ It was like, ‘This is my husband—100%.’ I felt this love for him that I never felt ever in my life.”

Sofia revealed the process of working with her long-time stylist Liat Baruch on the three gowns saying, “Liat is a genius at what she does… It was like two friends sitting on a couch. It was so easy and laid-back, and we just started making mood boards together.”

They were so hands-on, lovely, and attentive… They would say, ‘The buttons are a little bit too white. We’d love to dye them to make them a bit more cream,’ and I’d fly to Paris to make sure the hem was hitting just right.”
