'70s Star Jaclyn Smith's Mother-Of-The-Groom Style Stole The Show At Her Son's Wedding
Jaclyn Smith's son, Gaston Richmond, married the love of his life, Bonnie Lane, in a beautiful garden wedding at his childhood home in Beverly Hills, California, in July 2023. The bride looked beautiful in an Ava Laurenne gown for the ceremony, but Smith's mother-of-the-groom look was a fashion moment all of its own.
The "Charlie's Angels" star — a fashion designer who launched her eponymous clothing collection in 1985 — turned to Monique Lhuillier for her son's big day. From the luxury brand's fall 2022 collection, the actor opted for a mint green sequin and feather-embellished gown, featuring elaborate plume detailing cascading along the torso and sleeves, and down toward the hemline. The '70s star posed in photos shared online, showing off her showstopping look, which she paired with subtle jewels and topped off with her signature '70s-inspired feather-layered mid-length cut, styled by celebrity hairstylist Lorenzo Martin.
"Right before my son Gaston walked down the aisle to his bride this weekend," the screen legend wrote on Instagram, setting off a flurry of adoring comments. "Your Dress, the style & color are perfection!!" one person responded. Another said, "Elegance reigns supreme!!" while a third chimed in, "Jaclyn, you look so gorgeous." On another Instagram post, posing with the bride, groom and her husband Brad Allen, another fan complimented the '70s actor on her timeless appeal. "Jaclyn Smith could be in the same room with girls in their 20s and she will always win over them with her beauty and class. I'm not even paying attention to the bride."
Jaclyn still stealing the show in stunning looks from her clothing line
After gaining stardom from playing Kelly Garrett in "Charlie's Angels" during the '70s, Jaclyn Smith became a trailblazing fashion icon in the '80s and beyond. The actor launched her retail clothing line, the "Jaclyn Smith Collection," exclusively at Kmart in 1985, which ran successfully for decades, generating hundreds of millions of dollars annually, eventually making her a pioneer as a celebrity fashion brand. Smith wasn't just the face of her collection but was hands-on in the management and design process, creating classic, elegant, and affordable fashion that helped define 1980s pop culture and made her a household name. "I was involved in everything, from the cut to the prices to where the buttons were applied," she told WWD in a June 2026 interview.
Years later, she continues to add vintage touches to her collection and is inspired by celebrity beauty looks from the '70s that everyone remembers to this day. "50 years later, I still find myself injecting details from the '70s into my line in honor of 'Charlie's Angels' (from fur vests to the ruffle blouses and retro prints)," she said in an August 2026 Instagram post, debuting outfits from her latest collection.
The Hollywood star offered behind-the-scenes snaps, not only modeling the looks herself, but also showing just how stunning she still looks as she embarks on her 80s. "Still Beautiful," a fan wrote on the post. Another said, "Angel, how are you 80?! There's no way!!"
