A day trip to New York City to look at dresses. A lavish lunch for her 14 — yes, 14 — bridesmaids.
Bride-to-be Gracie Hunt has begun sharing the details of her wedding plans with her social media followers — including the first look of her wearing a wedding gown.
In a post earlier this month, the daughter of Kansas City Chiefs CEO Clark Hunt showed her 586,000 Instagram followers the quick trip she took to New York with her mom, Tavia Hunt, and younger sister, Ava, who will be her maid of honor.
“So obsessed with the bridal era,” Ava wrote on Gracie’s most recent post on Wednesday, which showcased a second shopping trip in Dallas.
“The most fun era ever,” Gracie responded.
Gracie became engaged last month to Derek Green, son of former Chiefs quarterback Trent Green. The two went public with their relationship in May 2025, foreshadowing this merger of two NFL families.
Gracie was “looking for dresses that I felt beautiful and confident in and also just brought that magic factor,” she said in the May 5 post about the New York trip. “I’m so lucky to have a mom who has expert taste and such attention to detail.
“It really made this process so fun because she’s asking all the right questions and really has known what looks good on me from all of our time working together on pageant gowns over the years.”
Mother and daughter are pros at glamming it up in evening wear. Tavia Hunt was Miss Kansas USA in 1993. Her daughter won the same crown in 2021, placing 16th in the Miss USA pageant.
They shopped at Mark Ingram Atelier on Madison Avenue, which carries gowns by elite designers including Elie Saab, Naeem Khan, Lela Rose and Vera Wang.
Gowns range from $6,500.00 to $18,000, with an average price point of $8,500, according to Ingram’s website, but the sky is the limit for custom gowns.
Gracie’s post also showed that the trio visited Bergdorf Goodman, including the John Salibello shop on the 7th floor of the venerable Fifth Avenue department store. Salibello is a top dealer of mid-century modern furnishings and art.
Over the weekend she shared video of the luncheon Tavia planned for the 14 bridesmaids who will stand with her at the wedding. (Were the touches of pastel blue a hint to her bridal colors?)
“Some of God’s greatest gifts in my life have been the women who have walked beside me through every season,” Gracie wrote in one of several posts about the day.
She is marking posts with the hashtag “#Evergreen,” and lifted a glass at the brunch, toasting her bridesmaids with “evergreen!”
On Wednesday Gracie shared a post showing a second gown-shopping trip to the shop of Dallas couture bridal designer Mackenzie Brittingham. Her mom and Ava, and Derek’s mother and sister, were with her.
She modeled a beaded gown with a dramatic, cloud-like overskirt of embellished tulle and delicate 3D appliques on the straps.
“I decided since you only get to try on wedding dresses once in your life why not do it a bunch of times,” she said.
“It’s been so much fun to try on different styles and imagine what they would look like on the big day. I brought in my expert judging panel of my mom, my sister, my future mother-in-law and sister-in-law and one of my bridesmen.”
She has not shared a wedding date yet.
