Margaret Qualley experienced love at first sight with her now husband Jack Antonoff.
In a new interview with Elle UK, she reflected on the early days of her romance with the music producer and frequent Taylor Swift collaborator.
Just two weeks after meeting the 10-time Grammy winner, she knew she wanted to marry him and confided in creative director Virginie Viard at the Chanel haute couture show in the summer of 2021.
‘I’d met Jack probably two weeks before, but I was head-over-heels in love right away,’ Qualley, 29, revealed. ‘I had a sure, knowing feeling that he was my husband.’
Recalling the moment and her nuptials prediction during the fashion show, which brought a big beaming smile to her face, the actress just happened to be getting fitted to wear an ivory wedding gown at the time.
‘I was talking about Jack and said to her, “I think I’ve just met a man I’m going to marry. And, Virginie, if I’m right, will you make me my wedding dress?” I said, ‘Give me two years…”’

Keeping to her word, Qualley and Antonoff did in fact get married on August 19, 2023, which was almost exactly two years to the day that she made her profound prediction.
It turned into a star-studded affair in New Jersey, where the bride wore a Chanel halter-neck gown, of course, Mary Jane shoes, and her dark locks was styled in a short bob.
The celebrity guest list included such A-listers as Taylor Swift, Channing Tatum, Lana Del Rey, Zoe Kravitiz, Cara Delevingne, Alex Wolff and Andie MacDowell, who just happened to be the bride’s famous mother.
In fact, the buzz about all the celebrity chatter quickly spread and eventually the road outside the Long Beach Island venue had to be shut down due to the growing crowd of fans that had gathered all trying to get a glimpse of the newlyweds and VIPs.
And in another case of the power of creative visualization, their wedding ended up being a big celebration full of their closest family and friends.
‘I’ve always wanted to be married,’ she explained, before recalling moments when she was a young girl. ‘I was that girly girl who would be on a walk with my sister fantasizing about our weddings, or what our husbands would be like.’
The Upon A Time In Hollywood star then admitted that she didn’t think it would have been a large wedding if it wasn’t for her husband, who was all down for a big celebration.
‘I wanted it to be big with him. It was, kind of, Jack needs a big wedding. And it seemed like it’d be more fun. He’s got so many great friends and a huge family, too. I think [weddings] are almost as much for your family and your friends as it is for you,’ she added, noting that it was ‘sweet and special and just the most magical day of my life.’
