Monique Lhuillier’s Vision of Angelina Jolie’s wedding dress
Monique Lhuillier shares her thoughts on Angelina Jolie’s wedding dress The big news in Hollywood is the engagement of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie who have been living together for more than seven years with their six kids (one their biological child and the rest adopted).

A story in the latest issue of People magazine included the sketches of two A-list designers (not exactly the ones who would be chosen by Angelina to do it), one of them Hollywood-based Filipina Monique Lhuillier.
