J.Crew's creative director Jenna Lyons once said: "Damn, give me sequins!"
Which must be what Audrey Gelman, Lena Dunham's best friend and the real-life inspiration for Marnie from Girls said to Lyons. Gelman, a publicist, married Ilan Zachary, a co-founder of Genius.com in Detroit this weekend in spectacular fashion (check out her after-party bridal jumpsuit).
Her bridesmaids, however, wore turtlenecks. Mocknecks, to be specific, in what looks like beige cashmere. Paired with sequin skirts, bows, and gold shoes—either loafers or sandals—the #gomezandmorticia is a full-on J.Crew catalog.
Each bridesmaid added her own mix of star, monkey, and monogram patches. "What happens when @jcrew goddess Jenna Lyons lets a bunch of crazy bitches customize their skirts...," Dunham wrote in her Instagram caption.
It looks like the maid of honor got out of the turtleneck requirement.

Dunham is still on the J.Crew train, she just wrote on Instagram that Lyons is her Met Gala date.
