Steven Spielberg's daughter, Destry Allyn Spielberg, recently celebrated her marriage to real estate professional Jake Herskowitz in a picturesque Hamptons wedding. The lavish ceremony brought together family and friends to commemorate the union of the filmmaker and actress, who, at 29, chose a distinctive and elegant bridal attire for her special day.
The nuptials took place on a Saturday in East Hampton, New York. Destry captivated attendees in a unique, custom-designed three-piece outfit from New York designer Seline Meisler. The ensemble, with a total cost exceeding $9,365, featured an exquisite French lace top with a high neckline and delicate cap sleeves, a structured satin waist cincher, and a voluminous ivory skirt. The top alone was valued at $2,395, the silk duchesse satin cincher at $1,400, and the structured silk taffeta skirt, adorned with French lace appliqué, at $5,570. A splash of color was added with bright yellow heels, while the groom, Jake, complemented her in a classic dark tuxedo.
While the exact venue within East Hampton was not confirmed, the area is well-known for Steven Spielberg's long-standing family estate, reportedly valued at $64 million. The couple's engagement was announced earlier in the year, following a relationship that began in September 2022. This marriage marks Destry's second engagement, her previous one to Swiss actor Genc Legrand having concluded prior to marriage for undisclosed reasons.
Friends and guests shared glimpses of the joyous occasion on social media, showcasing the newlyweds in intimate moments, such as a sunset kiss by the water, with Jake tenderly embracing his bride. Later in the evening, Destry changed into a flowing, sleeveless ivory gown for the reception, where she was seen celebrating with friends in a photo booth. Creative director Sarah Abreu, who served as a bridesmaid, and celebrity stylist Nicole Chavez were among those who highlighted the event, with Chavez specifically commending Seline Meisler's bridal creation.
This celebratory period for Destry also coincided with a significant achievement for her father, Steven Spielberg, who attained EGOT status after winning his first Grammy for the documentary 'Music by John Williams.' Destry, following in her father's footsteps, has transitioned from competitive equestrianism to a career in filmmaking. Her directorial debut, the 2024 thriller 'Please Don't Feed the Children,' featured notable actors like Michelle Dockery. She has also recently completed filming her second feature, a psychological crime thriller titled 'Girl,' in Savannah, Georgia, starring Jason Isaacs and other rising talents.
This event underscores a joyous period for the Spielberg family, marked by both personal celebrations and professional accolades, as Destry embarks on a new chapter in her personal life while continuing her burgeoning career in the film industry.
