The legendary fashion designer reportedly vamped up her bridal collection to include a gown for no other than Bella Swan, the fictional heroine of the insanely popular "Twilight" series.
The franchise's production company, Summit Entertainment, confirmed the rumors that Herrera was the official designer Tuesday night, taking to
Twitter and
Facebook to share the news with fans online, attaching a tantalizing closeup twitpic of a veiled Kristen Stewart as Bella, standing at the altar.
"On November 18, see Bella's Carolina Herrera-designed wedding dress in 'Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1,' " the
company tweeted.
Bella is set to wed her broody vampire beau, Edward Cullen, in the latest installment of the "Twilight" saga.
While fans have been obsessing over leaked clips of the upcoming flick for months, the much-anticipated dress – and its designer – has been a secret as closely guarded as Kate Middleton's infamous Alexander McQueen gown by Sarah Burton.
In November, Zac Posen denied rumors that he would be the mastermind behind the dress. Other designers, including Erin Fetherston and Prabal Gurung, offered sketches of how they would design Bella's dress for InStyle earlier this year, reports
Fashionista.
No word yet on what Herrera's design will look like – or whether she's on Team Edward or Team Jacob – though her latest 2012 bridal collection features modern twists on vintage designs, complete with silver embroidery, eyelet details and chantilly lace.
The first half of the saga's two-part finale, "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1" is due out Nov. 18. Filming was put on hold following Japan's tsunamis in March.
