Exclusive | NYC influencer went viral for buying a wedding dress without having a boyfriend

Exclusive | NYC influencer went viral for buying a wedding dress without having a boyfriend

She said “I do” to the gown.

An NYC influencer went viral for buying a wedding dress despite the fact she won’t be walking down the aisle anytime soon — since she doesn’t even have a boyfriend.

Shayla Quinn’s playful post, which she captioned, “I might be single AF right now but if a $4,500 wedding dress is marked down to $100 at a bridal sample sale I will be bringing it home with me,” racked up close to 4 million views on Instagram and TikTok.

Quinn told The Post she was shocked by the messages of support she’s received.

“I honestly was expecting for people to think I was insane. But I’ve gotten such an overwhelmingly positive response to this,” said Williamsburg resident Quinn, 36.

“So many women have said that they did something similar and ended up meeting their partner shortly after, which I love. And I also randomly got so many comments from men being like, ‘I respect this. I’m a dude and I would have even bought the dress.’”

The brunette beauty first laid eyes on the triacetate halter gown the day after Valentine’s Day, while at a bridal sample sale pop-up her friend was running on Bond Street in NoHo for Australian brand Kyha Studios.

“She had invited me multiple times throughout the two weeks and I kept telling her, ‘Look girl, I love you. I want to support you, but I have no business being there because I am very single,’” she recalled.

But her pal finally convinced her to stop by, and that when Quinn found her perfect match.

“I wasn’t looking for a dress. I feel like the dress found me,” she gushed.

“I mean, obviously the price was a huge factor, finding a $4,500 dress for $100 … But beyond that, it just fit beautifully and I could picture myself wearing it in a variety of ways down the line.”

“I do want marriage and partnership with the right person,” Shayla Quinn told The Post. Michael Nagle for NY Post

At first, she wanted to keep her new purchase a secret.

“I was like, ‘I’m not telling anyone about this,’” she recalled, laughing.

“And then when I got home, I was like, ‘You know what? This is kind of funny.’”

Quinn, who is a lifestyle influencer and posts content about manifesting her own desired destiny, also thought the post could encourage her followers to do the same.

“I’ve always been someone who does things in my own time and in my own way. So, in hindsight, buying the dress before meeting the guy actually feels very on brand for me,” she said.

“There was something about trying on the dress that just helped me visualize getting married in a way that I hadn’t before … It really brought back excitement and reminded me to stay open and optimistic.”

The Southern California native, who moved to the Big Apple four years ago, has been single for the last year and a half.

But that soon may change.

“My DMs are definitely wild right now. I really thought guys might see this and think I was insane, but it’s been the opposite. I’ve gotten so many messages from men,” she said.

“So I’m kind of thinking maybe this dress is just the beginning of the story.”
