Andie MacDowell's Daughter Mocked for 'Worst Wedding Dress Ever' - Inside Widely-Discussed Wedding
- Andie MacDowell's daughter, Margaret, followed in her footsteps and appeared on Netflix's "Maid."
- The veteran actress rocked a flowing gown for her daughter's recent wedding, leaving fans speechless.
- Margaret's white gown and shoes were heavily criticized by online users, who said it was the "worst wedding dress ever."
Best known for the film "Four Weddings and a Funeral," actress Andie MacDowell married her ex-husband, Paul Qualley, only three months after they met in 1986. She initially saw him at an airport and decided she wanted to date him.
When the pair eventually got together, they welcomed three children into the world, Justin, Rainey, and Margaret. MacDowell's husband was never interested in acting but was a rockstar for a while. Like MacDowell, he was also a model.

The couple initially only met while modeling for Gap commercials, and quickly fell in love. "When he found out we were doing an ad together, he was very excited," MacDowell said in an interview for The Herald Journal.
Their last child, Margaret Qualley, was born on October 23, 1994, and followed in her mother's footsteps. The young actress is best known for appearing in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," "The Leftovers," and most notably, Netflix's "Maid," where MacDowell plays her on-screen mom.

That said, the drama's mother-daughter duo is nothing like they are in real life. MacDowell has always been a devoted parent. Furthermore, Qualley always wanted to work on a project with her mother. She said:
"I've always wanted to work with my mom. And it just struck me that this would be a really special opportunity… because the material was so strong and the mother-daughter dynamics were such a crucial part of the story, so it would be something really meaty for us to dive into together."

Despite her young age, their daughter has already received accolades for acting. She was nominated for an Emmy for "Fosse/Verdon." Her mother was driving when she heard the news. In an interview, MacDowell remembered:
"I was having a hard time driving. I was so excited. I'm trying to figure out where I'm going, but I'm crying; I was really having to focus."
All of MacDowell's kids were raised in a rustic atmosphere, as their father became a rancher and preferred the world of dirt and hard work over the glamour of Hollywood. Unfortunately, he and the veteran actress separated in 1999, and MacDowell moved the kids to North Carolina.

Margaret Qualley and Jack Antonoff have officially tied the knot. Their wedding ceremony was held on Saturday, August 19, 2023, in the presence of their many celebrity friends. The rising actress announced her engagement to the Bleachers musician back in May 2022.
She posted a picture with him on Instagram, which has since been deleted, showing off her beautiful ring and adding the caption, "Oh, I love him." The couple was first seen kissing in public in August 2021 in New York City, but they only officially revealed their relationship a while later.
Qualley was spotted in May 2022 at the Cannes Film Festival, which she attended to promote the film "Stars at Noon." Fans noted her giant diamond ring, but the actress didn't comment on her relationship status at the time.
The news of her new engagement was later confirmed via her social media post. When her daughter finally tied the knot, MacDowell stunned people with her chic look as the mother of the bride.
As always, the actress let her gray hair loose, which she is proud to show off, and rocked a blue and green palm-tree print maxi dress with long sleeves, which could easily be worn at a beach resort.
She was also wearing a pair of beige sandals and little makeup, accompanied by simple accessories for the occasion. Her adornments included a silver necklace and bracelet.

Online users and fans had terrific things to say about her outfit, which made her look way younger than 65. However, some have said she looks older than her actual age on other occasions.
Why Was Margaret Qualley's Gown Called "The Worst Wedding Dress Ever"?
While her mother received many positive comments for her beach-like print dress, Qualley didn't get so lucky. The young actress, who's often called MacDowell's lookalike, was seen with her new husband arriving in an ordinary white halter gown for her wedding reception.
Fortunately, some online users did not agree with the hate Qualley's outfit received.
She was also in white flats, also known as Mary Janes, and had styled her hair in a short bob, while Antonoff wore a typical black suit and tie. Qualley had already been seen the previous night with her older sister, Rianey, in a simple white dress as they attended the rehearsal dinner.
Although outlets noted how stunning the actress looked in her gown for the wedding held in New Jersey, online users and fans were not so pleased with the ensemble. Some people thought the outfit lacked any effort.
