YouTuber NikkieTutorials got married in a ball gown with sheer, crystal-encrusted sleeves that showed her tattoos
  • YouTuber NikkieTutorials married her longtime partner Dylan Drossaers on Tuesday.
  • On Thursday, she revealed the custom Viktor & Rolf dress she wore during her wedding.

YouTuber NikkieTutorials is married, and she looked like a princess on her wedding day.

The makeup mogul, whose real name is Nikkie de Jager, confirmed in an Instagram post on Tuesday that she married her longtime partner Dylan Drossaers. She then posted a short video on Thursday, in which she revealed her dress for the first time.

The video first shows de Jager in casual leggings and a T-shirt while holding white sneakers and a garment bag. The influencer then does a twirl, and appears in a sparkling ball gown.

Viktor & Rolf designed her custom wedding dress, which had a single satin sleeve that wrapped across her bodice and connected to a small bow.

Most of its skirt was also made from the shining fabric, though there was a layer of white tulle beneath it.

De Jager previously told The Knot that the gown was created "from scratch."

"What's funny is the dress that I'm working on is pushing the budget a little bit, and by a little bit I mean a lot, so my invite is literally going to say, 'Please send scented candles and/or some money, because the budget got pushed by a lot,'" she told the publication.

She also said she chose a custom dress so that she could wear exactly what she dreamed of.

"Your girl is large and in charge. I'm 6'3". And basically, I can't find the craziness, the madness that is in my head, in a store," she said. "I need someone to physically create that for me because I'm a little cuckoo up in here."

Beneath the gown's satin strap was a crystal-encrusted sweetheart neckline, and long, mesh sleeves decorated with pearls. The sleeves showcased her tattoos, and matched the crystal jewelry she wore on her ears.

It's unclear if de Jager wore the sneakers shown in her Instagram video with her gown.

De Jager kept her marriage announcement simple, writing only: "06-09-2022 Mr. & Mrs. Tutorials ‍❤️‍ can't wait to show you the full story time video NEXT WEEK! "

She also said she'd share more information about her gown at that time.

Previously, the makeup mogul — who came out as transgender in January 2020 — told The Knot that she knew she'd marry Drossaers six months into their relationship. She also said he was "a rock" for her when coming out.

"I'd never felt that comfortable with a person before," she told the publication. "After my previous relationship, I put away the idea of marriage, because it wasn't working out. I was like, 'OK, well, I'm never getting married.' But then when I found Dylan, I was like, 'Wait, this could be the one. This could be the one where it actually happens, and where I could have my happy ending.'"

Drossaers eventually proposed to de Jager in Italy, and she told The Knot that she'd do her own makeup on her wedding day.
