The bride, who is the daughter of Hollywood’s favourite hard man Ray Winstone and an actor in her own right (“I was doing a play in the West End when we first started planning which was a healthy distraction, but now I’m knee deep in lace!”) has been a fixture on London’s party scene for years, and her wide circle of friends encompasses some of the city’s brightest creative talents – a fact reflected in both Jaime’s decadent Sicilian celebrations and her wedding wardrobe. It really does make me feel like a magical punk princess – I actually well up when I talk about it.” It has an olive leaf design which I feel reflects me and my family and our home in Sicily that we’ve been coming to for 15 years now.

I can be quite indecisive – I’ll take like seven headpieces to an event and then end up wearing a tracksuit – but I felt really connected to this dress. When she then sadly passed away, I thought, there’s no way I’m not going to wear the Princess dress. “Vivienne and I spoke about and she suggested the Princess design.

Her chosen Westwood wedding gown, with its signature corset bodice and tiered tulle skirt, is “just the most beautiful thing I’ve ever put on”, Jaime says. “It was always going to be Vivienne,” says the actor, who is getting ready for her prom-themed hen party at Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club when we speak over the phone ahead of her big day (“My mum’s just here raiding my wardrobe for vintage Pam Hogg to wear!”). I never felt very fashion forward, but I always felt very confident in my own style and Vivienne really applauded that.” It’s why years later, when her partner James Suckling proposed in a tipi filled with flowers during the summer solstice at Glastonbury, Jaime knew instantly that she would wear Westwood on their wedding day. I was about 19 when she asked me to walk in her show.

“I’d been obsessed with her since I was a child… her hair, her looks, her punk roots. “ Vivienne Westwood changed my life forever,” says Jaime Winstone, who walked the trailblazing designer’s runway as a teenager.
