Influencer Halley Kate Wears Thrifted Dior Ballgown for Courthouse Wedding
Influencer Halley Kate McGookin opted for a vintage designer dress as she tied the knot with Reed Williams.
Posting via her TikTok on Thursday, July 2, the New York-based influencer, 25, showed off her thrifted Dior outfit as she got ready for her special day.
"I'm getting married today and my vision for this look absolutely came together," she shared in the video. "Yes, I'm just going to the courthouse, but I'm still going to do an insane, iconic look."
McGookin shared details of her wedding day attire as she explained the aesthetic she was aiming for.
"This is a vintage Dior look. Immediately, when I saw the flowers on it, I knew it was for me. Reed actually picked it up for me at a vintage market. I still wanted to keep the integrity of the dress, but I had it altered to be strapless because I knew I was going to do this hat," she said. "I had this hat custom made because I saw this vintage Valentino look. Immediately, I knew I had to recreate it. I'm so happy with how this turned out. I think it's insane."
Later the same day, McGookin shared a video of her and Williams kissing inside the courthouse after exchanging vows.

McGookin announced her engagement to Williams in January after more than two years of dating. Taking to Instagram, McGookin shared a glimpse of the stunning sparkler, which featured a marquise-shaped diamond set on a gold band.
She followed up the post by sharing a clip of the sweet proposal. The video showed Williams getting down on one knee to pop the question as they stood in a park in Switzerland. After asking McGookin for her hand in marriage, Williams stood back up and gave her a kiss.
"He ate with the 💍," she captioned the post at the time.
The content creator also shared that Williams couldn't sleep for "a couple of nights" because he was "trying to decide between which diamond to get."
In an episode of her "Delusional Diaries" podcast in June 2025, McGookin was candid about never having any ambitions to have a big ceremony if she ties the knot.
"I'm not against getting married, I just wanna make that clear, I have nothing against marriages, I just don't wanna have a wedding, is what I've always said," she explained on the podcast.
McGookin and Williams first met on the dating app Hinge in early 2023 and dated briefly before calling it quits in November 2023. After that false start, McGookin announced in April 2024 that the pair had gotten back together.
