No, this isn't a Fish Called Wanda. It's an actress called Melissa George (who you might know from Grey's Anatomy) wearing a gown that looked remarkably like a white wedding dress to the 2009 Oscar Awards.

George's mermaid gown had a corseted lingerie-inspired bodice that hugged her every curve, punctuated with a tulle skirt.

If you're looking for a similar wedding dress, consider the collections of Kenneth Pool and Ines Di Santo. They have several mermaid wedding dresses in their lines, but with more sophisticated bodices.
