From Grazia online
GALLERY >> Angelina Rocks L'Wren
Last week, Grazia learned there’s a serious contender for the role of wedding dress designer – L’Wren Scott. There are rumours that Angelina has had ‘several meetings’ with the model turned designer and girlfriend of Rolling Stone Mick Jagger. ‘Angelina wanted to go with someone who is not so obvious for designing wedding gowns,’ said a friend, ‘She’s been courted by some of the hottest designers on the planet, but having a big name isn’t important to Angelina. She wanted someone she could trust and she most definitely trusts L’Wren.’
Apparently, L’Wren and Angelina originally bonded over their similar body shapes. ‘L’Wren is famed for designing clothes to suit taller, thin women like herself,’ said a source. ‘Of all the people she’s met with she feels L’Wren is the one that understands her body the most.’
Since News of the World was shut down, Grazia may now be the sleaziest of the already exceptionally sleazy UK tabloids What then are the odds that a bonafide friend would talk to the magazine? Outside of People and Hello I don't think any celebrity or their friends would be interested in talking to any tabloid.

Bride-to-be Angelina Jolie, has reportedly chosen L'Wren Scott to create the dress for her wedding to Brad Pitt.
According to Grazia she requested the U.S. designer, who is best known for her chic and sophisticated red carpet designs, to fashion a custom-made gown for her big day.
‘She's been courted by some of the hottest designers on the planet, but having a big name isn't important to her... Of all the people she’s met with she feels L’Wren is the one that understands her body the most,' a source told the magazine.
Speculation: Every choice regarding Brad Pitt
and Angelina Jolie's wedding is sure to cause a media frenzy, but
Angelina's dress designer will certainly be the one most fans are
interested in
The actress, 37, has worn L'Wren's eponymous label on numerous occasions.
In 2008 she wore a black dress to the premiere of Brad’s film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and in 2011 she opted for an unfussy red number for the Moneyball premiere.
Jolie and Pitt, who have three biological children together and three adopted, announced their engagement six months ago. They had been together seven years.
At the time Brad's spokeswoman Cynthia Pett-Dante said: 'It is a promise for the future and their kids are very happy. There's no date set at this time.'
Pitt designed the 10-carat diamond engagement ring, which is thought to be worth $250,000, in collaboration with jeweller Robert Procop.

'He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect.'
Jolie has been married twice before, to Jonny Lee Miller between 1996 and 1999 and then Billy Bob Thornton, from 2000 to 2003.
For her first wedding she famously sported an unconventional ensemble consisting of black rubber trousers and a white T-shirt emblazoned the groom's name written with her own blood.
Brad's marriage to Jennifer Aniston lasted five years before they announced they were divorcing in early 2005 - which came after he had met Jolie on the set of Mr & Mrs Smith.
Brangelina - as they became known - quickly became a Hollywood power couple, with a brood of six children; five-year-old Shiloh and twins Knox and Vivienne, aged three, along with three adopted children Maddox, 10, Pax, eight, and Zahara, seven.
Although no further details of their nuptials, including the date, have emerged, it is thought that they will stage the event at their £35million estate in the South of France.

Hypothesizing about celebrity wedding dresses has become a sort of competitive sport these days. Nailing down the designer, fit and now even the color of the famous bride-to-be's gown is a strangely rewarding process (for us, at least). So when a little birdy told Grazia a few sartorial details about the forthcoming Brangelina nuptials, we were pretty excited.
According to the latest issue of the mag, Angelina Jolie will wed in a custom L'Wren Scott dress -- no doubt the boldest bridal designer choice since Natalie Portman opted for her Rodarte number. "Angelina wanted to go with someone who is not so obvious for designing wedding gowns," a source told Grazia. "She’s been courted by some of the hottest designers on the planet, but having a big name isn’t important to Angelina. She wanted someone she could trust and she most definitely trusts L’Wren."
And why shouldn't she? Angie has worn L'Wren's designs plenty of times before, and the simplicity of her cuts seem perfect for the usually pared-down mother. L'Wren, of course, is no stranger to the limelight either -- the former model is Mick Jagger's statuesque girlfriend. The couple even live right next door to Brad and Angelina in Richmond. How's that for convenience? The proximity must have come in handy, since Angelina and L'Wren are said to have had "several meetings" about the dress already.
Brad and Angie have been engaged for about six months now, yet hardly any details have slipped through the cracks. Hopefully, this latest news will give the couple some momentum to give the public something they can chew on. Of course, none of these details are confirmed, but it seems like a pretty good fit to us -- so it must be true, right?
Now all we have to do is iron out the details of dress itself. Are we thinking a strapless mermaid gown or something a little more princess-y? More importantly, will Angie hop on the colored-dress trend à la Jessica Biel and Anne Hathaway's non-white dresses? Stay tuned!
And since we expect nothing less than an unconventional wedding from Brangelina, check out some non-white wedding dresses worn by other celebs. Do you think Angie will follow suit?
