She styled the dress with her engagement ring and what appears to be a wedding band. The accessories added a new element to the look without changing the gown itself.

Her overall styling differed from the earlier appearance. The 2026 look featured a sleek bob and more defined makeup, contrasting with the longer hairstyle and softer styling seen in 2015.
The comparison images circulated online shortly after.
