Margaret Qualley says she knew Jack Antonoff was the one “right away.”
In fact, the “Maid” star was so sure that she asked Chanel’s creative director Virginie Viard if she would be willing to make her wedding dress two years before the pair’s August 2023 nuptials.
“I’d met Jack probably two weeks before, but I was head-over-heels in love right away,” Qualley told Elle UK in an interview published Wednesday. “I had a sure, knowing feeling that he was my husband.”
At the time of the revelation, the actress, 29, was in a fitting for the Summer 2021 Chanel haute couture show — in which she was, ironically, set to wear an ivory wedding gown.

“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?'” she recalled. “I said, ‘Give me two years…”’
Sure enough, the pair said “I do” almost exactly two years later during a star-studded ceremony in New Jersey, and the bride, of course, wore a Chanel halter-neck gown and Mary Jane shoes.
Despite the fanfare surrounding their nuptials due to their A-list guests, like Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, Qualley said the day was everything she ever dreamt it would be.
“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,” she told the outlet, noting that it was “sweet and special and just the most magical day of my life.”
Despite spending years planning the perfect day, Qualley said she never wanted her wedding to be a big production until Antonoff, 39. came along.
“I don’t think I would have had as much of a big wedding if it weren’t for Jack,” she told the publication.
“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,” Qualley continued.
“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. It was sweet and special and just the most magical day of my life.”
Now that they’ve made it past the six-month mark, the couple has settled into their new lives as husband and wife — which she said doesn’t look much different.
“I think we’ve kind of been operating like a married couple since the beginning, so it wasn’t a drastic change, but I really love the security of it,” the model explained, noting that she and Antonoff moved to New Jersey and have been enjoying the slower pace of life.
“It would be hard for him to disentangle himself from me. I’m glad the law is involved,” she joked.
The pair first sparked romance rumors in August 2021 after they were spotted locking lips in New York City. Less than a year later, the Grammy-winning producer popped the question with a $100,000 round-cut sparkler.
