First Look at Iris’s Wedding Dress on ‘The Flash’

While Barry Allen and Iris West will not get married until late November on The Flash, tonight’s episode gave fans their first look at Iris in her wedding dress.

“Barry, our wedding is in six weeks,” Iris rightly points out in the scene, noting that it’s bad luck for Barry to see her in her wedding dress — but that does not matter much. After all, the whole episode seems bathed in bad luck as a result of Barry’s showdown with Becky “Hazard” Sharpe, a metahuman who can manipulate probability.

“She’s not a bad person; she’s just finally in a position where she feels she needs to take advantage because she’s never known luck before,” Beard told ComicBook.com. “She thinks it’s her turn.”

That is most evident in one of the opening sequences; Becky literally walks into a bank and walks away with what she wants, without anyone ever offering her any resitance — in part because all manner of tragedies befall them as she makes her way across the room. In stiletto heels and an eye-catching dress, the scene is played like something out of a farcical comedy, and if there weren’t lives and millions at stake, the joke would feel more like people were distracted by Becky’s looks and bringing the misfortune upon themselves.

That misfortunate manifested for Barry and Iris when their wedding venue had a fire, causing their reservation to be cancelled, and their backup venue fell through when another couple booked it.

The Flash airs at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Tuesdays on The CW.
