Best celebrity wedding dresses *ever* – what your fave A-Listers wore to say "I do"

Including Millie Bobby Brown, Hailey Bieber and more

By Cosmopolitan

The best celebrity wedding dresses live rent-free in our heads for years. Sometimes longer than the celebrity marriage lasts (no shade ofc, but shout out Britney Spears and Jason Alexander, whose 55-hour marriage makes Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries' 72-day union seem like a lifetime!). But back to the dress...

Easily our fave part of any nuptials but especially A-list affairs, celebrity wedding dresses promise to be a celebration of fashion, love and, more often than not, pure extra-ness. Can you blame us for being low-key obsessed? While they're usually custom, designer creations well out of our budgets, that doesn't mean they can't provide plenty of inspo for brides looking for wedding ideas for their own big day.

No matter if it's a short style you're after à la Sofia Richie and Barbara Palvin, or you're shopping for seasonally-appropriate long sleeve wedding dresses like Hailey Bieber and Lily Collins, there's no shortage of heavenly looks. Plus, getting an idea for the style of dress you like courtesy of what is essentially a Pinterest board of celebrity wedding dresses (you're welcome) is a great place to start.

Simply appreciate a beautiful gown? You've come to the right place. From boho brides like Kate Moss and Heidi Klum to royal brides including Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle – and not forgetting Hollywood royalty such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Ariana Grande – we're charting the most memorable bridal dresses and outfits donned by our fave and most stylish A-listers.

Scroll through to see the most memorable celebrity wedding dresses in recent years.

Demi Lovato

For her wedding to Jordan “Jutes” Lutes, Demi Lovato wore a custom Vivienne Westwood pearl-white dress featuring the designer's signature corset along with a dreamy off-the-shoulder neckline. Demi revealed an existing Vivienne Westwood design served as the starting point for designing her dream dress, which is probably why some people thought it was the exact same dress Miley Cyrus wore to marry Liam Hemsworth.

Millie Bobby Brown

Millie Bobby Brown has *finally* shared photos of her STUNNING wedding dress from her and husband Jake Bongiovi's wedding back in May 2024. The bride wore a gorgeous white lace corseted gown, a custom creation from bridal couturier Galia Lahav. The design was an adapted version of the ‘Anais’ dress featuring a French lace-covered corseted bodice, delicate shoulder straps and a bias-cut skirt. The actress added a Baroque-style overskirt with a French pannier fastened around the waist to add some volume. A floor-sweeping lace-trimmed tulle veil completed the look.

Millie's round-up also featured a photo of a second wedding dress – an off-the-shoulder ruched satin mini design with an in-built bustier from Vivienne Westwood. A black bow tie (that we're guessing belonged to the groom) completed the party 'fit.

Not pictured is her third wedding dress – The Maidugura by Manolo Blahnik, a tea-length design consisting of a lace high-neck and capped sleeves overlaid with a silk corset, finishing with a drop waist layered lace skirt. Huge congrats to the happy couple!

And for her final, fourth wedding dress (that we know of...) Millie shared a photo on Instagram stories of a white, sheer, lace, low-back Oscar de la Renta gown worn to cut the cake. We're drooling.

Chrishell Stause and G Flip

Despite first tying the knot in a secret Las Vegas ceremony back in May 2023, Chrishell Stause took to Instagram to share pictures from her and G Flip's Australian ceremony/vow renewal that also doubled as a birthday party for the Selling Sunset star. Whatever the occasion, Chrishell wore a sleek and simple ivory midi dress before changing into a bubble skirt hem mini design (both from House of CB) to ride a mechanical bull. Iconic! Sticking to the Wild West theme but in contrast to Chrishell's attire, G Flip opted for a black blazer and leather trousers accessorised with a black cowboy hat. Congrats again to these two love birds!

Christina Hendricks

Designer Christian Siriano shared a look at the Regencycore creation he designed for Christina Hendricks' New Orleans wedding. The actress' stunning hourglass figure was perfectly highlighted in the dress that featured an off-the-shoulder neckline and draped bodice before flaring out into a mermaid skirt and train. XL voluminous sleeves added an extra touch of drama. It might not have been a traditional white gown, but it no doubt ticked off her "something blue" with the dusty hue decorated with cream floral motifs. Daphne Bridgerton could never.

Anya Taylor-Joy

We've been struggling to keep track of Anya Taylor-Joy and Malcolm McRae's marital status with conflicting media reports and rumours, but The Queen's Gambit actress has finally confirmed the pair officially tied the knot in April 2022 in New Orleans. She marked the anniversary by sharing pics from the couple's follow-up Venice ceremony in October a year later – see, we told you it was confusing.

Either way, we're just glad to finally get an up-close look at her wedding dress, a Dior taupe ballgown decorated with intricate embellishment including an embroidered hummingbird and floral motif on the bodice that Anya described in the caption as a depiction of her and Malcolm's "love story".

The romanticism of the dress was perfectly matched by an endlessly trailing white tulle veil, so long it easily covered both her and her groom, Cara Delevingne plus a fourth wedding guest, as seen in one snap included in the carousel. Truly stunning!

Joey King

In honour of the most romantic day of the year – V Day, obvs! – The Kissing Booth star Joey King *finally* treated her 18.7 million followers to some cute pics of her first wedding dress. What a treat!

The actress shared a carousel of candid BTS snaps from her legal ceremony to director Steven Piet, that took place in the summer of 2023. While we've spent the past few months absolutely lapping up the pics from their glitzy Mallorcan wedding, this is in fact the first time we're seeing Joey's first dress – and what a stunner it is!

The 24-year-old looked gorgeous in a semi-sheer ruched white dress by Dolce & Gabbana, featuring subtle corset details, an off-the-shoulder neckline and see-through skirt. Joey paired the dress with a crystal tiara, short veil, platform heels and thick-rim red sunnies for a party take on bridal that we absolutely love. Well worth the wait, we say!

Joey King

And speaking of the couple's glitzy Mallorcan wedding... What. A. Dress! Or make that *two* dresses. After walking down the aisle in an Oscar de la Renta strapless ballgown constructed from large fabric flower-petal paillettes (the drama!), Joey then changed into a second Oscar de la Renta design consisting of swathes of sheer tulle that exposed the bodice's corset ribbing with a voluminous tiered skirt. Leaf motif embellishments completed the princess gown meets naked dress creation. Goggles proved a unique bridal accessory, but when you go swimming in your wedding dress, what else is a girl supposed to do?

Having waited a whopping *19 years* to marry her longtime partner Jean Todt, it was only natural that Michelle Yeoh would go all out with her look for the occasion. And the Oscar-winning actress certainly didn't disappoint...

Michelle took to Instagram to share pics of her wedding dress, and we have to say it's one of the coolest we've ever seen. The so-called "Face of Happiness dress" is a surrealist masterpiece by Schiaparelli, made up of an elegant long-sleeved white lace dress topped with a show-stopping bodice embroidered with an actual face. If you have a scroll through Michelle's Insta carousel, you can see it in all its glorious detail: think glistening pearls, gold beads and a cheeky nose ring to boot. SO chic.

Nicola Peltz

Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham are officially married, with the couple tying the knot in Palm Beach in Apil 2022. And one of the most-anticipated elements of the nuptials was definitely Nicola's dress, with many wondering whether she'd wear a Victoria Beckham design on the big day.

While Nicola wore a yellow design by her mother-in-law for her engagement, the bride went for a custom Valentino number for the actual wedding. The dress in question features a column-shaped silhouette, with a minimalist neckline and a mega-long train. To finish it all off, she wears a sheer lace-trim veil, making for a truly elegant bridal fashion moment.

Made In Chelsea's Lucy Watson married her long-term boyfriend James Dunmore wearing a stunning Milla Nova ivory gown.

Emma Bunton

Emma Bunton tied the knot with Jade Jones in a secret ceremony and, for the occasion, the bride wore a stunning Miu Miu mini dress, complete with sheer sleeves and a long, billowing veil. Can we also take a second to talk about the heavenly bouquet and matching flower crown situation? Safe to say, we love everything about this – congrats to the happy couple!

Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani tied the knot with Blake Shelton wearing not one but two TDF Vera Wang gowns. The first (pictured here) featured a strapless bodice with a plunging neckline and a semi-sheer tulle skirt, accessorised with a matching veil. Our favourite detail? Her high-heeled cowboy boots, ofc. But Gwen slipped into another number for the reception...

Ariana Grande

For her marriage to Dalton Gomez, Ariana Grande opted for a white strapless, empire waist column wedding dress by Vera Wang. From the sculpted neckline to the thigh-high split, every inch of the dress is perfection. And that's before we even start on the back, which plunges all the way down to her waist, held in place by a feature cross-back strap. As for accessories, the singer went for a more minimalist look, opting for a pair of dainty drop earrings and a bubble veil, complete with a satin bow on the top. Too cute!

The dress hugged the bride's figure before flowing out into a long cascading train. Abloh then finished the look with a customised sheer veil, complete with his signature quotation mark logo detailing.
