The images shared by Rae were taken by Lauren Fair, with the actress writing in jest about her ‘impromptu photo shoot’ on Instagram. “A) Impromptu photo shoot in a custom @verawang dress. B) My girls came to help me, but they all coincidentally had on the same dress! They were sooooo embarrassed. C) Then I took a few flicks with Somebody’s Husband,” read Rae’s post, while she thanked White Eden Weddings for putting this shindig together.
