Dorothy Wang Is Married to Lawyer Brandon Yankowitz

Dorothy Wang has tied the knot!

The Rich Kids of Beverly Hills and Bling Empire star, 37, announced her nuptials to lawyer Brandon Yankowitz in a story with Elle.

The pair said their “I do’s” on Oct. 11 at Collegio alla Querce in Florence, Italy. Their wedding week kicked off with a rehearsal dinner at the Italian Auberge property on Oct. 9. “The rehearsal dinner was family style,” Wang told Elle of the dinner she created with executive chef Nicola Zamperetti. “For me, growing up Chinese, sharing a meal together is the most important thing.”

The following day, the couple booked activities for their friends and family to enjoy in Italy before their special day — some of which included pasta-making classes and VIP Palazzo Gucci tours.

That same day, they hosted a traditional Chinese tea ceremony, because Yankowitz wanted the event to kick off their nuptials. However, Wang wanted to wait until their second official wedding in Asia. Wang explained that the tradition is to welcome the families. “Basically, you pour tea to both sides, and when the parents accept the tea, that means that they’re giving you their blessing and they’re welcoming you.”

For the various wedding festivities, Wang wore custom designs: a Prabal Gurung Atelier number for the rehearsal, and a couture sequin qipao dress from Laurence Xu for the tea ceremony.

To walk down the aisle, the reality star wore a custom Oscar de la Renta, designed by Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia. “We spent a lot of time collaborating on it—it’s 100 percent custom—we really built that dress from the ground up,” Wang said of her Victorian romance-inspired ceremony gown.

Her reception and afterparty looks also included more custom looks. For the reception, she wore a haute couture Giambattista Valli and switched into a custom AKNVAS minidress designed by Christian Juul Nielsen for the afterparty.

She also noted that they flew L.A. DJ Devin Lucien and Saweetie to Italy to perform at the afterparty and reception, respectively. “Everyone just had so much fun,” Wang said.

Their decision to host the afterparty rather than a Sunday brunch was Wang’s decision “from the beginning.” Guests returned to the Auberge to dance all night long with a few snacks and desserts to keep them going, including burgers, fries, chicken wings, affogatos, tiramisu and “matcha-gatos.”

The couple announced their engagement in October 2024 with a joint post on Instagram that featured the simple caption, “🤍 engaged 🤍.”

Her post included a sweet photo of the pair kissing with their arms wrapped around each other as they stood in a room decorated with candles and elaborate floral arrangements.

In her Instagram Stories earlier that month, Wang appeared to hint at her engagement. The actress posted an inspirational quote that read: “Sometimes the Universe takes you on a journey you didn’t know you needed, to bring you everything you ever wanted. Trust the plan.”

Yankowitz is a former model and partner at The Yankowitz Law Firm. He also co-founded the production company YaSu Media, which “develops and produces feature length and short format film content for traditional and new media distribution.” His credits include the 2008 shorts Blue Ballad and American Centurion and the 2011 film Trophy Kids.

The engagement post marked the first time Yankowitz appeared on Wang’s Instagram. However, since then, the reality star has continued to show off her beau.

In October 2024, she posted a collection of photos from the engagement on Instagram, captioning them, “✨ 10.17.24 ✨💫 i can’t wait to be your wife 🤍.”

The first photo showed her and Yankowitz in a romantic embrace as she gazed up at him with her new bling on her finger. The second snap revealed her shocked reaction upon walking into the elegant room for the engagement. A person was seen standing behind her, filming on her phone, as Wang covered her mouth with her hand. Surrounding her were tall white candles that were lit to give the room a warm glow. 

The carousel continued with a photo of Yankowitz on his knee and several other behind-the-scenes moments, including a close-up of her diamond ring and a photo of the happy couple on a video call. 

Wang called her engagement “the greatest surprise of my life” in the caption of another Instagram post of celebratory snaps.

The couple met in October 2022, according to an anniversary post that Wang shared in 2024. “Brandon and I met exactly two years ago today, and it’s been the happiest time of my life ever after,” she wrote in the Oct. 29 post, while sharing several photos from the course of their relationship.

In October 2022, Wang spoke to PEOPLE in an exclusive interview about making her big move from Los Angeles to New York City to star in Bling Empire: New York.

“I honestly always loved New York,” she said at the time. “I want to change. I want to meet new people, I want to explore new restaurants. I needed a shakeup. I felt like being born and raised in Beverly Hills, as much as I built this perfect life for myself, it just kind of got too perfect for me.”
