Eva Amurri was not amused by people calling her low-cut wedding gown “scandalous.”
Daughter of filmmaker Franco Amurri and actress Susan Sarandon, Amurri is a lifestyle blogger. On Saturday, she married chef Ian Hock at Windrift Hall in the Hudson Valley of New York.
She shared a photo of herself and her husband from the wedding on Instagram Stories in response to criticism of the gown she had chosen.
She captioned the photo, saying, “And to anyone scandalized by my breasts not being ‘put away’…”
The newlywed then shared a close-up of her cleavage from the same image on social media, along with the words, “Feel free to screenshot this for later,” and an emoji of a kiss.
She wore a Kim Kassas-designed corseted, strapless, bustier-style gown from Bridal Reflections in New York City. “I wanted to feel sexy but elegant, and I think the dress strikes the perfect balance,” Amurri said to People.

Her mother’s decision to wear a low-cut garment when she presented the In Memoriam segment at the 2016 Academy Awards ceremony was compared to her choice of cleavage-baring attire.
Wearing a black push-up bra underneath an open, wide-lapel white blazer, Sarandon looked stunning on the Oscars red carpet. Later, Piers Morgan tweeted that Sarandon’s attire for the solemn occasion was “horribly inappropriate.”

Amurri also took time on Monday to not only respond to the backlash but to share a heartfelt message following her wedding. Calling the day “magical,” Amurri said that even though it rained: “We were surrounded by so much love. The day felt like time stood still for us…Our families came together into a perfectly imperfect blended bubble of love and memories.”
She continued to address her new husband and three children, whom she shares with her ex-husband, former Los Angeles Galaxy soccer player Kyle Martino. Posting on Instagram, she wrote: “Ian, Marlowe, Major, and Mateo: I am yours always.”

“There is nothing that makes me happier than belonging to the four of you,” she continued. “And to my magical husband: you are my deepest wish, granted. Forever starts now!!!!!!”
The couple’s French garden party-themed wedding was low-key and intimate. Amurri told People: “We wanted to write our own love letters to each other to read as vows, which was so special for us … We also didn’t have any bridal party besides the kids, and it was perfect.”
