Holly Ramsay’s wedding looks have finally been revealed.
News of chef Gordon Ramsay’s 26-year-old daughter tying the knot with Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty broke on Saturday, Dec. 27, when the ceremony took place at The Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul (also known as the Bath Abbey) in the U.K.
At the time, Holly’s wedding gown was kept a secret as she expertly managed to hide her ensemble from photographers. Now, details have been shared by British Vogue, which published an interview with the bride about her nuptials on Friday, Jan. 2
When shopping for a dress with her mom Tana and 2-year-old brother, Jesse, Holly knew that she wanted a gown that would compare to the historic ceremony venue. “The aisle at the abbey is 65 meters,” she said. “It’s so grand and so beautiful… I knew I needed something long!”

She also had her eyes set on something “very traditional, quite modest” and “super feminine” with a design made of lace, similar to the style of dresses worn by Grace Kelly and Kate Middleton, she added. And that is eventually what she got thanks to the team at Elie Saab, who created a custom long-sleeve design with a full skirt and circle train, an element that was taken into consideration when Gordon, 59, decided on driving himself and Holly to the church in a Rolls-Royce Phantom.
“It makes me feel very princess-like,” Holly told British Vogue of the design, which she paired with a lace veil, Amina Muaddi heels that were a Christmas gift from her husband and a limited-edition 2016 shell-shaped Chanel bag from eBay.
Holly made a change after the ceremony (“My parents would love it if I did one look,” she joked), and her second dress, worn for her and Peaty’s first dance, was actually her mom Tana’s wedding gown worn on her wedding to Gordon in 1996.
“I’ve always loved the idea of bringing in mum’s dress at some point,” she said. “It’s beautiful: silk with a V-neckline and pearls all the way around. I tried it on and it fit me perfectly – it didn’t need any altering.”
For the late-night festivities at Georgian manor Kin House in Wiltshire, Holly slipped into a more festive Elie Saab look that was a white strapless minidress with fun embellishments on the bodice and skirt. She paired it with feathery white heels.

Holly’s party, including her sisters Megan and Tilly as maids of honor, and Peaty’s sister, Bethany, as her bridesmaid, were outfitted in red dresses by Victoria Beckham, who also designed Holly’s welcome dress, a look that featured Tiffany & Co. jewelry and Malone Souliers heels.
Her final look was a backless Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini dress with feathery sleeves worn to the morning-after brunch for the wedding parties, which occurred on Peaty’s 31st birthday.

In her interview with British Vogue, Holly said her father cried “every time” she talked about the wedding, as she is the first of Gordon and Tana’s six children to tie the knot.
Gordon marked his daughter’s wedding day with a sentimental Instagram post. “I’m truly so lucky being able to walk this beautiful bride down the aisle and gaining an incredible son in law @adam_peaty ! I love you so much @hollyramsayy and couldn’t be a prouder Dad xxx,” he wrote.
Holly and Peaty announced their engagement in September 2024 with photos that flashed her yellow diamond engagement ring by British fine jewelry brand, Pragnell.
