L&S: Alicia Keys wore a Princess Leia headpiece for her dream wedding
Alicia Keys and her baby-daddy Swizz Beatz were married on Saturday, in a ceremony in Corsica. Well, it looks like Life & Style got the exclusive photos from the ceremony, probably at a hefty price. Can I just say something? How budget is it to have your big wedding photo pictorial at Life & Style? No disrespect to L&S, but I would have thought Alicia and Swizz would have been big enough – or tabloid-friendly enough, what with all the baby-mamas – to warrant a People or Us Weekly cover. Anyway, L&S got it and they even have the details on the ceremony – DEEPAK!
“I love everything about her,” Swizz Beatz tells Life & Style about his new wife.
As the sun set over the clear-blue Mediterranean Sea on July 31st, singer Alicia Keys and her fiancé, music producer Swizz Beatz, exchanged vows in front of family and close friends, including Queen Latifah, Tommy Hilfiger, Christian Louboutin and Bono.
The private event was held at a seafront estate on the southern coast of the French island of Corsica, where the mind-body sage Deepak Chopra, the couple’s pal, officiated the intimate service. Swizz’s eldest son, 9-year-old Prince Nasir Dean — served as best man to his dad.
“The whole ceremony was magical, like something out of a dream,” an eyewitness tells Life & Style.
The beaming bride wore a custom-made, Grecian inspired one-shouldered silk Vera Wang gown with crystal detailing, a dazzling diamond necklace headband, custom made by Jacob the Jeweler, and jewel-encrusted Christian Louboutin sandals accented her feet. Swizz, whose given name is Kasseem Dean, sported a white Tom Ford tuxedo with a black bow tie.
The pair, who are expecting a child in early November, were overcome with joy. “I love everything about her,” Swizz tells Life & Style about his new wife.

What with the weird Star Wars/Princess Leia jewel-encrusted headpiece and the Louboutin sandals and the Deepak and the Bono, Alicia’s wedding seems very… “brought to you by The Oprah.” I wonder why Oprah didn’t come? Oprah and Alicia used to be tight. And Oprah didn’t go to Chelsea Clinton’s wedding either, from what I hear. Although – I think the Clintons are still pissed at Oprah, so there’s an explanation for that one. So why didn’t Oprah come for Alicia’s nuptials? Is it because even Oprah doesn’t want to whitewash Alicia and Swizz’s mess? Hm…
