The 1975 frontman Matty Healy’s fianceé Gabbriette Bechtel goes braless beneath racy mesh top for Milan Fashion Week as mother-in-law Denise Welch shares sweet tribute

Denise Welch paid tribute to her daughter in law to be Gabbriette Brechtel after she took to the catwalk in Milan on Wednesday. 

The model, 26, who is engaged to Denise’s eldest son and The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, left little to the imagination as she made a bold nude statement during the Fendi show. 

Gabbriette went braless beneath a black mesh long-sleeved top which she paired with a black knee-length skirt and black leather boots. 

The star swept her black tresses off her face in a slick back bun as she strutted down the runway. 

Gushing over Gabbriette, Denise took to her Instagram Story as she shared a video and penned: ‘My fabulous daughter in law to be @gabbriette walked for @fendi in Milan tonight’. 

Matty popped the question to his fiancé in June with Denise confirming the happy news live on Loose Women. 

The presenter, who first met Gabbriette five months into the romance, gushed: ‘We couldn’t be happier. She is everything I would want in a daughter in law.’

Denise explained that the couple had broken the news to their loved ones ‘a few weeks’ ago.

‘I have known for a few weeks that Matty got engaged,’ she told her co-stars. ‘They went over to see their friends Charli and George in New York.’

‘I woke up this morning to the fact they’ve put it on Instagram. Instagram official, he has got engaged to Gabbriette. She is from Los Angeles , she is absolutely gorgeous,’ before bizarrely adding: ‘She does have a rat’.

The proud mum revealed that Matty had the distinctive ring custom made, gushing: ‘Black diamond, he had it made for her and I couldn’t be more thrilled.’

And Denise and Gabbriette appear to be getting on like a house on fire after they previously shared a sweet family clip celebrating Christmas as the threesome danced the night away.

The singer and model sparked engagement rumours after she posted a picture on Instagram of her wearing a £10,000 black diamond ring on her wedding finger.

To add to the speculation, Gabbriette tagged Matty’s social media account and wrote: ‘MARRYING THE 1975 IS VERY B*** @trumanblack’.

Gabbriette continued to show off her engagement ring as she later shared a mirror selfie, but swapped it to her right hand.

Gabbriette, who posted the picture of the ring while she was at Charli XCX’s concert, showcased her racy outfit on her story.

She went braless in a strapless black mini dress and wore knee-high boots with a black strapped chocker.

After five months together, the frontman introduced his model girlfriend to parents Denise and Tim Healy .

The new couple went to see the Loose Women star’s show, The Gap, in Manchester before meeting the rock star’s family, including his brother, Louis, afterwards.

Denise shared the cute snap on Instagram with the comment: ‘Lovely to have the family in to see mum at work!!! @hopemilltheatre #thegap [heart emojis].’

Matty reportedly purchased the engagement ring for $10,800 at a vintage liquidation sale.

The pair have been linked since September 2023, following Healy’s split from Taylor Swift that June, when they were spotted enjoying a steamy PDA in New York City .

Now an official couple, they have since made several public appearances together, including during Fashion Week and at the band’s concerts.

Often known mononymously as Gabbriette, she was born in Orange County, California, in 1997 – making her eight years Matty’s junior.

Though she moved to Los Angeles with dreams of being a ballet dancer, Gabbriette fell into a modelling career, after being cast in a Blood Orange music video.

However, this was not plain sailing as she told Vogue in May 2023 that she spent large amounts of time as ‘an unpaid, hard-working model’.

She has since worked with brands like Diesel, Bottega Veneta and Marc Jacobs.
