Este Haim closed out the year by stepping into a brand-new chapter as she married tech entrepreneur Jonathan “Johnny” Levin.
The singer tied the knot in glamorous yet intimate New Year’s Eve ceremony in California, surrounded by family, close friends, and a guest list that was far from casual.
A sparkling start to the New Year
Ring in the new year, indeed. The New Year’s Eve timing set the tone for a festive night filled with music, fashion, and heartfelt moments.
Guests toasted to love and fresh beginnings as the couple said “I do” just as the calendar turned.
Taylor Swift Steals the Spotlight
Among the familiar faces was Taylor Swift, who brought full mirrorball energy to the celebration.
The pop star shimmered in a gold sequin gown with a scoop neckline and flowing pleated skirt, matching handbag, and statement earrings.
Her romantic updo and soft glam completed the effortlessly polished look.
Swift wasn’t the only music legend in attendance. She was photographed mingling arm in arm with Stevie Nicks, who stayed true to her signature all-black ensemble.
Inside Este’s couture wedding dress
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Este gave Vogue an inside look at her bridal journey.
Este and her sisters traveled to Paris for fittings at the Louis Vuitton atelier, where Este finalised custom designs for her ceremony and after-party looks.
“I’ve been looking forward to this day since I was five,” Este told Vogue.
“I had this vision of me, coming down a spiral staircase… in this giant ballroom gown, and then my fiancé, [my] husband, would be at the bottom and grab my hand.”
After exchanging vows, Este changed into a romantic lace dress featuring a removable skirt that transformed her look for the after-party.
The celebration stretched well into the night, blending heartfelt speeches, dancing, and a room full of love.
Above all, reflecting on the milestone, Este kept her focus on what mattered most.
“Though the most important thing is that I’m getting married and that I met the right person.”
Este’s surprise proposal
Levin popped the question on December 22, 2024, during a hike.
The singer said it was an intentionally low-key moment that caught Este completely off guard.
“I had Mario Badescu acne medication on, my hair was in a top knot, I was in sweats and sneakers,” she recalled.
After proposing with a temporary ring, Levin suggested designing the final piece together. “I thought [that] was really, really sweet.”
