Molly-Mae Hague didn't appear to have been amongst the guests at her former PrettyLittleThing boss' £20m wedding this weekend.

After years of working with the fast fashion brand as an influencer, the 24-year-old was named the label's Creative Director in August 2021, earning a reported £5m annual salary, roughly £400,000 a month. However, Molly-Mae quit the lucrative position last June, five months after giving birth to her first child, a daughter she shares with fiance Tommy Fury, called Bambi.

Speaking on her YouTube channel at the time, Molly denied there was any drama behind her decision to part ways with the brand, and she simply wanted to be a mum. She said: "I will forever have the most insane relationship with PLT… they are literally my family. I am still working with them and doing collections and edits, but I have actually decided to step down as my creative director role.

"Over the last few weeks, I have realised that I'm only going to get this time once with my first-born child and I'm only going to get Bambi being four months old once and I feel like I've had to rearrange my life a little bit and lose some commitments that I did have.

"Myself and PLT have decided collectively that as much as the creative director role was incredible and I have literally loved being the creative director of PLT more than anything it was such an amazing chapter for me it has naturally come to an end.

"I am a mum now and I never really gave myself a maternity leave and I got straight back into work instantly because my work is my phone and showing my life is my work. The last thing I would want to be is in a role that I can't fulfil right this moment.

"There is no drama, there is absolutely no tea… nothing has gone on."

PLT founder Umar Kamani wed his bride Nadia in a huge four-day extravaganza in the South of France, almost three years after a similarly flamboyant engagement. The £20,000,000 nuptials, held at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d'Antibes, kicked off on Thursday with a white party.

On Friday there was a traditional Western wedding in the hotel's iconic Grand Allée. As Nadia walked down the aisle, Andrea Bocelli performed, backed by a full orchestra. That night, guests were entertained with a surprise performance from Mariah Carey.

On Saturday, the couple had a traditional Indian ceremony, with a relaxed BBQ being held today before guests jet home.

The guestlist was suitably starry, with supermodel Naomi Campbell and RnB icon Christina Milian rubbing shoulders with Vogue Arabia editor-in-chief Manuel Arnaut, and Red Sea Film Festival Foundation CEO Mohammed Al Turki.

Speaking to Vogue Arabia,Nada shared: "It’s something every little girl dreams about, but to do it in such style, in such beautiful surroundings – and of course to the man of my dreams! – was really a fairytale."

Umar added: "What can I say? I was speechless when I saw Nada in that dress. It was the most emotional moment."
