AceShowbiz - Marc Jacobs has married his fiancee, Charly Defrancesco.
The 55-year-old fashion designer tied the knot to his longtime love, who he affectionately calls Char, in an intimate ceremony in New York City on Saturday, April 06.
The couple, who wed just one day after Defrancesco's birthday, partied the night away with a star-studded reception at glitzy midtown restaurant, Grill Room.
Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, fashion editor Katie Grand and singer Rita Ora were among the guests. Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe was also at the bash, and she later shared videos from the party, which featured a cabaret-style performance from a group of dancers.
Jacobs and Defrancesco wore matching diamond and onyx penguin pins on their big day day, a sweet gift from Prada and Miu Miu design director Fabio Zambernardi.
"Penguins have only one partner and mate for life. A great example of faithfulness and fidelity. So grateful to you and love you so much dear Fabio," Jacobs explained on Instagram, alongside a snap of him wearing the pin on the trousers of his tux.
The couple got engaged one year ago when the fashion designer surprised his model beau by popping the question during a dinner date at a Chipotle restaurant on Defrancesco's birthday.
Before proposing, Jacobs organised a flash mob performance set to Prince's 1986 hit "Kiss", then got down on one knee.
The designer explained that the pair, who both have April birthdays, always celebrate at the Mexican fast food outlet, and told WWD, "It's his (Defrancesco's) favourite restaurant. We have an annual (tradition). Every year for my birthday we go to Chipotle."
