This wedding dress was worn by the character “Puchi” portrayed by actress Jennifer Lopez in the 2006 biopic film, “El Cantante.” The vintage 1970’s cream wedding dress is constructed out of a cream acetate material with lace overlay. The neck is slightly stained from makeup worn, and the left arm has a small stain likely made from food during production. The original costumer’s HOLD tag with the movie title, character name, actor name, Change number, Day number, scene numbers, and "Int. Church - Int. Motel" is included.
Ms. Lopez can be seen wearing this dress at the church where she is left standing alone at the alter by Hector (Marc Anthony). Infuriated, Puchi goes to the hotel where Hector celebrated his bachelor party the previous night. She finds Hector hung over and brings him back to the church to get married.
“El Cantante” tells the true story of Hector Lavoe, a Puerto Rican musician who began the Salsa movement and introduced it to the United States in 1975. Ms. Lopez as an older Puchi in the year 2002, reminisces her experiences with Hector and explores his rise as a sensational performing artist and then his downfall due to drugs, alcohol and depression. Starring Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony, this film excited many of their fans, as the two were a married celebrity power couple at the time of its release. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from the costume house.
