![Blushing bride Sofia Richie looks radiant in an elegant white gown as she celebrates her lavish wedding weekend in the French Riviera. The model and daughter of legendary crooner Lionel Richie stepped out with her British fiance Elliot Grainge on Friday evening during their ultra glamorous trip to tie the knot in Antibes. It was unclear whether the happy couple were heading off to a fancy rehearsal dinner, or were dressed up for the nuptials. The stylish 24-year-old chose a demure, delicately beaded floor length ensemble for the occasion paired with white stilettos and wore her long hair in a chic up do. Her record executive groom, 30, looked dapper in a dark suit and tie as they were snapped by their team of photographers at their swanky hotel at sunset. Among the slew of A-list guests jetting in to watch them exchange vows are Cameron Diaz and Benji Madden, Sofia’s sister Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden, as well as her father Lionel Richie and brother Miles. 21 Apr 2023 Pictured: Sofia Richie , Elliot Grainge.

Sofia Richie isn’t waiting for a honeymoon! The newly engaged model took to her Instagram page to share a vibrant series of photos for her 7.3 million followers, and among them was an eye-catching kiss! “Hawaii,” she captioned the collection of photos, alongside an emoji of a bright pink exotic flower. In one photo, Sophia, 23, leaned back for a sunset kiss from entrepreneur and social media star Elliot Grainge, 27, with tiki torches in the background. Sophie wore her hair swept into an updo and wore a breezy yellow maxi dress with puffed sleeves.
In the cover photo, Sophie rocks a lavender bikini with a pair of baggy white lounge pants while standing in front of a tree in blossom, while a second photo with Elliot has her laughing in his arms. The remainder of the photos are of Sofia and several friends lounging in what appears to be a beach house and posing with fresh leis around their necks. She also included some sweeping shots of the deep blue Hawaiian ocean.
It’s a good time for the daughter of Lionel Richie and Diane Alexander to kick back and celebrate. On April 20, she announced via Instagram that Elliot had proposed, alongside stunning photos of the actual moment. Elliot seems to have gone traditional, proposing on one knee and surrounded by lit candles and pure white flower petals. “Forever isn’t long enough @elliot,” she captioned the photo. Sofia’s famous friends were impressed — Gigi Hadid responded to the post with “OMG!!!!!?” while Lily Collins shared a row of heart-eyed emojis and a simple, “ahhhhh.” Kourteney Kardashian reportedly congratulated her personally.
Elliot just happens to be the son of Universal Music Group CEO Sir Lucian Grainge, and Lionel is friends with him, having released some of his albums under the label. “There is a deep level of trust between [Sofia and Elliot],” a source close to the situation told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “Their dads are very close, so she’s known him a long time. Her dad could not be happier.” Sofia previously dated Scott Disick, Brooklyn Beckham, and Justin Bieber.
