Former Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin was all smiles despite the rainy weather as she wed the heir of billionaire philanthropist George Soros today at a lavish Hamptons celebration attended by at least one ex president and other Democrat A-listers.
The bride, 49, looked radiant in an elegant off-the-shoulder, floor-length cream gown with buttons in the back as she wed financier scion Alex Soros, 39, DailyMail.com’s exclusive pictures show.
The custom dress by Givenchy featured a delicate belt and olive branch embroidery with the bride and groom’s initials sweetly woven into the design, according to Vogue magazine, which had a deal to cover the nuptials.
The gown made by Sarah Burton was one of two dresses Abedin wore for her nuptials, with the other designed by Erdem Moralıoğlu.
Our exclusive photos show Democrat insider Abedin looking relaxed and happy as she greeted famous guests – which included Vogue editor Anna Wintour – at the Soros’ sprawling 12-bedroom Hamptons estate in Water Mill.
Abedin was closely accompanied by her son, whom she shares with disgraced politician, Anthony Weiner, 60, who she divorced after he was jailed for sexting a minor.
Weiner, who is attempting a NYC political comeback with a city council run, is not thought to have attended the wedding.
The Soros’ 12-bedroom, 10-bathroom Georgian mega mansion was surrounded by tight security, including sniffer dogs and Secret Service agents guarding Abedin’s former boss Hillary and ex-president Bill who were driven down the long driveway in a motorcade of blacked out SUVs.
Former president Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were also on the guest-list, according to Page Six.
George and Amal Clooney, and the fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and her husband, the media mogul Barry Diller, were also thought to have been among the high-profile attendees.
Scores of blacked out chauffeur driven minivans and luxury cars queued to ferry the couple’s well-heeled guests through the estate’s main gate.
Huge white tents were erected on the property, giving guests shelter from the almost constant rain and cold that threatened to overshadow the couple’s special day.
But not everyone was in a celebratory mood for the nuptials.
Locals claimed residents were not told in advance about the large-scale event, which saw police drafted in to manage the backlogs of traffic that built up along the road.
One woman, who did not want to be named, criticized the family as ‘the worst kind’ of ‘limousine liberals’, and accused them of being hypocritical in funding apparently anti-police initiatives while local cops handled their wedding traffic outside.
In a bizarre moment, a group of college students in fancy dress arrived close to the front gate of the property and took a selfie.
On Friday, the happy couple hosted a rehearsal dinner for dozens of family members and friends at the waterfront estate of Soros’ mother, Susan Weber, on Shelter Island, in the exclusive enclave of Dering Harbor.
The Mail’s exclusive pictures showed Abedin dazzling in a mid-length champagne-colored dress with flutter sleeves and matching heeled sandals as she mingled with guests.
The groom-to-be complimented his bride in a light brown suit with matching shoes.
Soros boasts an impressive portfolio of at least 11 homes, including two in the Hamptons, and another in Katonah, an exclusive area in Westchester, New York.
The famously private philanthropist, reportedly worth $25billion, has transferred a raft of properties to the names of his closest advisers over the years.
It is understood many guests are being ferried to the wedding from upmarket hotels in nearby Bridgehampton in a fleet of chauffeur blacked-out minivans.
Guests were said to be in good spirits and some even joked whether any Republicans would be invited to the Dem society wedding.
Soros and his father are among the most prolific fundraisers in the Democratic Party. Soros has been named heir to his father’s $25billion empire.
Abedin was one of Clinton’s top aides in her tenure as Secretary of State during President Obama’s first term.
She hit the headlines when it was revealed her husband, then a Democratic US Congressman from New York had texted nude pictures to young women.
Weiner resigned his post but ran again in 2013 when again he was found to have sexted pictures.
Abedin divorced him and he was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison and he had to register as a sex offender.
Abedin and Soros met in the fall of 2023 at Nicky Hilton’s birthday party, and they were engaged in New York City in May 2024.
