Denise Welch has revealed the stunning outfit she wore for her son Matty Healy’s wedding to Gabbriette Bechtel at their glamorous Hollywood ceremony on Saturday.
The Loose Women panellist, 68, shared a look at her mother-of-the-groom gown with her fans on Instagram on Thursday, days after the celebration took place.
Denise cut a jaw-dropping figure in an off-the-shoulder satin dusty pink dress with dramatic puff sleeves, accessorised with silver jewellery.
The British actress posed up a storm for a series of snaps after having her hair and make-up done, with the aid of her stylist Ryan Kay.
Alongside a photo she shared, Denise wrote: ‘My dress for my son Matthew’s wedding to Gabriella. The happiest time of my life.’
Healy officially said ‘I do’ as the rocker wed his model girlfriend Gabbriette Bechtel in a glamorous Hollywood ceremony on Saturday.

Denise’s photo received heaps of praise from her celebrity pals, including Ruth Langsford, Frankie Bridge, Amanda Holden and Charlotte Dawson.
Matty, 37, who had a brief fling with Taylor Swift back in 2023, was surrounded by A-list guests and family during the special milestone which took place at Castillo del Lago, a residence previously owned by Madonna.
A source exclusively told the Daily Mail that the lovebirds tied the knot underneath the Hollywood sign just as the sun began to set.
Celebrity guests cheering on the newlyweds included Charli XCX, actress Emily Ratajkowski, model Alex Consani and Healy’s The 1975 bandmates.
The insider said the bride walked down the aisle wearing ‘a beautiful white dress and they kissed at exactly 7 o’clock’.
The reception also took place at the property, with Healy entertaining his guests and new wife by performing a set with The 1975.
A representative for the couple told the Daily Mail in an official statement: ‘Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel were married yesterday at a private ceremony in Los Angeles, attended by their family and close friends.’
Bechtel could be seen wearing a voluminous white dress with a sweetheart neckline and sculpted bodice with ruffled long sleeves.
The full skirt of the gown fell into an intricately embroidered train. And the bride wore a sheer, white veil over her dark locks.

Ruffled details were added along the neckline and cuffs to add an elegant flare to the dress.
The British-born singer wore a custom Paul Smith suit for the big day, paired with a white dress shirt and black bowtie. For a final touch, pinned to his lapel was a white corsage.
As guests looked on, the couple exchanged vows and then, as Healy dramatically leaned his bride back, he kissed his bride in a tender, romantic gesture.
The insider also said that the rehearsal dinner took place at Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood on Friday.
A separate source told the Daily Mail that the couple ‘work really well together’ and are ‘absolutely in love with each other’.

‘The right person came along that made him want to settle down,’ the source continued. ‘It’s not surprising – they’re such a good fit that it makes sense.’
The insider said that Bechtel is ‘the whole package’.
Bechtel, who goes by the mononym Gabbriette, was the lead vocalist and songwriter of Nasty Cherry, the punk-pop band formed by Charli XCX, before gaining wider recognition as a model and social media influencer.
The 28-year-old is from Orange County, California, and it is believed the couple may stay in Los Angeles, rather than Healy’s home in north London, so they can remain close to the bride’s family.
The pair have been linked since September 2023, following Healy’s split from Taylor Swift that June, when they were spotted enjoying a steamy PDA in New York City.
They announced their engagement in 2024, after a whirlwind nine-month romance and not long after Swift and Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce went public with their romance. The source said that Healy and Swift ‘started dating these people at the same time; it’s not that unusual’.
Just two weeks before Healy’s wedding, his ex tied the knot with Kelce at a lavish wedding at Madison Square Garden in New York.

According to The Sun, Healy and Bechtel have splashed out more than £100,000 (around $134,000) on flights to fly their nearest and dearest out to California for the celebrations. And it is reported that Healy’s parents, actors Denise Welch and Tim Healy, flew to the US last week for last-minute preparations ahead of the nuptials.
Healy celebrated his bachelor party with a watch party for England’s World Cup victory over Norway, followed by another party with his bandmates earlier this week.
Last month, Bechtel shared snaps of her Las Vegas bachelorette, setting out to the venue in a white vintage Chanel boucle suit with a veiled fascinator.
She then made several wardrobe changes, at one point wearing a white bejewelled bra and matching pants, before flaunting her abs in a white bandeau crop top and miniskirt as she snapped a mirror selfie with her friend who held a large sign with Healy’s face on it.
She later changed into a stylish white suit jacket and figure-hugging skirt as she posed beside huge ‘Mrs Healy’ balloons.
Guests at the bachelorette received T-shirts which read: ‘I survived Gabbriette’s bachelorette Las Vegas 2026.’

Healy’s parents are Loose Women panelist Denise Welch, 68, and her now ex-husband, stage and TV actor Tim Healy, 74.
Welch, who first met Bechtel five months into the romance, said at the time the engagement was announced: ‘We couldn’t be happier. She is everything I would want in a daughter-in-law.
‘I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,’ she told her Loose Women co-stars. ‘They went over to see their friends Charli [XCX] and [her husband, The 1975s drummer] George in New York.’
The proud mum revealed that Healy had a distinctive ring custom-made, gushing: ‘Black diamond, he had it made for her, and I couldn’t be more thrilled.’
