Chloe Sevigny had a quiet civil wedding to her Croatian lover Siniša Mačković back in March 2020. She was pregnant at the time, and the pandemic was just starting. She gave birth to their son Vanja Sevigny Mačković in April 2020. Now that the boy is two years old (and very blonde!!) and the “post-pandemic” life is upon us, Chloe and Siniša decided to finally do the big fancy wedding. Fancy for them equals Chloe going home to Darien, Connecticut, having a wedding ceremony in a simple Connecticut church, and driving off in a vintage Mercedes with cans of Diet Coke, Modelo and La Croix trailing behind. It was traditional, it was Connecticut, and it was a little bit New York as well.
The bride wore Jean Paul Gaultier and I actually don’t hate the dress at all. She’s Chloe Sevigny, did you expect her to wear Vera Wang? Of course she wore Gaultier. The gown was designed by Gaultier’s creative designer Glenn Martins, meaning it’s a new piece, not vintage. The reception featured glasses full of cigarettes for guests, which is apparently a thing. Mary-Kate Olsen did the same for her 2015 wedding to Olivier Sarkozy.
I completely love the wedding portraits Chloe posted on her Instagram, but the best photos are from Derek Blasberg, who is (I guess) the Millennial Truman Capote. He’s everywhere, he’s friends with everyone, he’s invited to all of the most exclusive parties and weddings. I’m including his full IG caption because I thought it was cool.

Chic.
I love the filter he uses on the pictures. And he most definitely is a writer- what a great caption.
Very cool and chic…so Chloe. I’m feeling it because today is my own 14th wedding anniversary. 🙂
Happy anniversary! 🥳💕
I enjoyed this post this morning. Love her dress, love the pics, Vanja is a cutie patootie, and a spring wedding in Connecticut is all just sweet and happy. The cigarettes in the julep cups don’t thrill me, but it’s kinda cool, I guess.
Yeah, that’s only ick part. Gross…
And thank you!
@ L84Tea, many congratulations to you and your partner/spouse my dear!! 🥳🎉🎊🥳🎊🎉🥳
And many more years of wedded bliss to follow! 🥰
See through wedding dress. Ugh.
The bride should be able to wear what she wants to wear on her wedding day to her love. So if the bride wants to wear a translucent gown by Gaultier, then she should wear a translucent gown by Gaultier 🤷♀️
Better than strapless.
*Yes, I’m probably picking a fight but strapless is tacky (in old CT).
Gorgeous.
She does look stunning!! I am in awe of her dress!! Her aesthetic is simply stunning as well as the design of the dress. Gaultier certainly hit it out of the park with her dress.
As for her husband, I don’t know much about him but they do look very happy and in love!!
I have never thought of her as anything other than a wasp that tried to be edgy outside of her elite Connecticut circles. So none of this wedding surprises me.
Lovely styling and congratulations!
Wasp? She’s of Polish and French Canadian descent.
Is smoking cigarettes still a thing on the east coast? Im from California and do not have a single friend that smokes cigs (weed is another thing entirely lol), let alone enough to need glasses of them at an event.
Everything looked beautiful until the cigarette bouquets, and then it went straight to trashy. I’m with you- who still smokes tobacco??
You forget a LOT of people “in the Biz” still smoke. A lot of women (actresses/models) do to curb/kill their appetites. So yeah, I can see this. And it’s still a “thing” in Europe.
I live on the east coast and I know of only one or two people who actually smoke. It’s definitely not the norm anymore, which I am grateful about. I’m not even sure why anybody bothers with it considering most places don’t allow it anymore. It seems like a really inconvenient habit, on top of it being unhealthy and expensive.
They’re still quite popular in Croatia, maybe it’s him not her.
Nope, I live in NYC and nobody I know smokes.
Recent Harvard grads moved into the condo above us in San Francisco. These young men are on the patio smoking tobacco and weed every day. A couple of blocks away, the city has dedicated bins on the street for dead cigarettes. People do smoke tobacco in California?
Chloe is phenomenal. I wish her and her family every happiness! Have loved her work for a long time. Thanks for sharing the photos of their big day. FWIW, I love the individual cigarette option. And, the souvenir matches.
I love Chloe Sevigny so much
Always liked her. She was so good in Last Days of Disco.
I’m happy for her.
Who the hell *is* Derek Blasberg???
Derek grew up in a working-class family in Affton, Missouri (just outside of St. Louis). After graduation from Affton High School, he made his way to NYC for college and became part of the glitterati.
So funny enough I grew up in Darien CT and know the exact church they are at. It’s not a real church anymore really but people can get married there. And the reception was clearly at Waveny House in New Canaan. I used to run cross country there and the brick work is unmistakeable.
Also fun fact Christopher Lloyd grew up in Waveny House. It’s super cool and gets used for events now. It’s a fabulous old school mansion. It was also used in the filming of Stepford Wives.
And that’s my Ted talk.
Love it!
Me too!!!! I am dying to move the NE area, as I would cut my right arm off to be a New Englander!!
Cigarette stack aside, what a chic lovely wedding. I wonder what the reception looked like? Chloe has always seemed like that cool girl who is actually cool. I love this aesthetic. The couple looks very happy and in love. What a lovely post.
Sure, but folks can still say they don’t like that particular article of clothing or style. I think this dress is on brand for her, even though I personally don’t like it and also don’t love the sheer trend. I don’t think saying that takes away her right to wear the dress or her enjoyment of it. I’m sure she had a splendid day and loved that dress.
He must have edited the caption since yesterday. When I first saw it, Vanja was called “toe-headed.” lol
Truman Capote would not have made that error.
That dress is amazing.
You are correct about TC. He’s my favorite writer. I think even he would have been too cool to hang out with these hipsters.
Dear god do these people sound pretentious and tiresome!
In my limited experience, people in the entertainment business smoke more than average. No idea why but it’s not rare to be a smoker. Ditto in the arts. And when there’s a party … lord. That’s when the rest of the people who “don’t smoke” suddenly do.
But the cigarettes in a glass thing is something I’ve never seen. Very weird and icky at a wedding.
Cigarettes are an appetite suppressants and coffee is a natural diabetic. That’s why actors, models and the like consume them.
@girl_ninja — I think you mean diuretic…
Congratulations. Chloe, you still are my girl crush forever. Much happiness to you both.
The glasses full of cigarettes sounds disgusting, but i LOVE her bouquet. And I’d like to see more of the dress. It looks really interesting and unique.
She looks lovely.
The cigarettes “thing”… Disgusting.
I absolutely love all of this. Good for her, good for them! I’ve always enjoyed her, and I’m really glad she seems so happy! Those flowers are gorgeous.
Yes! A candid of Natasha Lyonne! That had to be a great reception.
She looked so beautiful, her makeup was lovely. What a fantastic friend Derek Blasberg is; he took great pictures and gave her a caption to treasure.
Whole thing is a vibe, even the cigarettes. And no, I don’t smoke.
I thought you smoked pot.
@Oh Noes, what’s your point? Pot is a VERY different animal than cigarettes.
Smoking it is unhealthy.
I saw the photos and instantly channelled my mother when I thought it was a pretty look but oh I wish she’d done something more with her hair.
Just watched her in The Girl from Plainville, after first seeing her in Kids in the mid 90s. Where the does the time go?
It looked like a very cool wedding. A traditional WASPY vibe but still very fresh and modern. She looked beautiful and love her dress. She’s been an IT girl forever, since the 90s.
I was just going to say that reception is Waveny House in New Canaan Kiera! I’m not far from there.
She was always the 90s Gen-X It Girl. I really enjoyed her work in “Kids” “Last Days of Disco” and “Big Love.”
Beautiful! I am very happy for her.
