The Bachelorette: Emily Maynard’s Engagement Dress Details

Jul 22, 2012 @ 10:55 pm

This is a dress Emily Maynard will never forget! The Bachelorette star accepted Jef Holm’s engagement proposal in a dusty peach gown by Jean Fares Couture, which featured a sequin embroidered bodice and pleated skirt. “You look amazing,” her future husband told her. “You look so beautiful.” It’s actually a perfect choice for her finale—she kicked off the season handing out 25 roses in a sparkling champagne hued gown by the label, and with this as a closer, it’s fashion going full circle! Badgley Mischka shoes and emerald green drop earrings by The Woods completed her look. What did you think of her finale outfit?

Jul 22, 2012 @ 10:20 pm

SPOILER ALERT: The Bachelorette’s Emily Maynard is engaged! The southern belle found love in Jef Holm, the 27-year-old co-founder of People Water from Salt Lake City. “You are my soul mate,” she told him during the final rose ceremony. “You are the perfect person for me.” After declaring her love, Jef responded with a romantic proposal, getting down on one knee with an emerald-cut Neil Lane diamond ring with a halo setting. “I found my everything,” he told her. “And I’m so in love with you. And I promise you that if you let me into your life and into Ricki’s life you will never feel lonely ever again.” After a deep breath and pause, she said yes! “I feel like the luckiest man in the world standing here with you,” he told her. What a romance! Do you agree with her choice? Let us know in the comments!

The Bachelorette Exclusive: Why Emily Maynard Wore That Hot Pink Dress!

Jul 17, 2012 @ 10:45 am

We’re asking Emily Maynard about her favorite outfit from each episode of The Bachelorette this season, and last night she only had one look, so she had to make it count. And did she ever! “Have you ever had that awkward run in with your ex and looked like a mess?” Maynard told InStyle.com. (Been there!) “We all have, and I was for sure not going to let that happen to me at the ‘Men Tell All’ episode. The Bachelorette stylist, Cary Fetman, brought me a hot pink Hervé Léger bandage dress, which in a perfect world is exactly what all women are wearing when they see their ex, much less a room full of them!” Way to knock ‘em dead, don’t you think? (Similar versions are available to rent for $150 or less at renttherunway.com.) Next week, we find out who she chooses—Jef or Arie. Tune into ABC Monday at 8/7c to find out, and tell us: Which one would you pick for Em?
