If you got married in the last 15 years, chances are you wore, tried on, or were inspired by a Hayley Paige wedding dress. A true icon in the bridal and fashion world, Hayley’s designs were worn by celebrities, featured in over 500 stores, and seen everywhere from Say Yes to the Dress to Good Morning America.

But in late 2020, at the height of her success, she found herself in a legal battle that took away her right to use her own name, her social media accounts, and even access to her entire portfolio of designs. For nearly four years, she was legally unable to publicly identify as Hayley Paige or work under her own brand.

Now, in 2025, Hayley is BACK. After a landmark settlement, she has reclaimed her name, intellectual property, and creative future. In this powerful and unfiltered conversation, she sits down with Holly Meyer Lucas to talk about:

✅ How she built her personal brand and became a household name in bridal fashion
✅ The contract that changed everything—and why she signed it at 25
✅ The moment she realized she was in the fight of her life
✅ Losing control of her Instagram—what it was like to hand over her account
✅ The legal case law her battle helped shape for creators & entrepreneurs
✅ How she pivoted and built She Is Cheval in the face of adversity
✅ Her return to bridal fashion and what’s next for her career
