From Princess Diana to Diana Ross, These Are the 15 Most Iconic Bridal Looks of All Time
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. As wedding season kicks off, my calendar remains disappointingly void of invitations. I find myself in that in-between phase—half my friends are still single, while the others are only just tiptoeing into the realm of long-term commitment. A few proposals have been floated, but the flurry of save-the-dates has yet to arrive. Still, as a romance-loving fashion writer with an insatiable eye for bridal style, I refuse to let wedding season pass me by. If I can't admire aisle-bound ensembles in real time, I'll do the next best thing: revisit some of the most iconic bridal looks in history. From Old Hollywood elegance to modern-day minimalism, these unforgettable gowns have shaped bridal fashion for generations. Whether you're a bride-to-be seeking inspiration or simply someone who appreciates the artistry of a beautifully crafted dress, join me in taking a look back at some of the most magical wedding looks to ever grace the aisle. Style Notes: Kate Moss's fashion legacy—though long and undeniably iconic—can, in my book, be distilled into a handful of defining moments: her unforgettable turns on the Mugler, McQueen, and Vivienne Westwood runways; the launch of her buzzy Topshop collaboration in 2007; and, of course, her 2011 wedding to Jamie Hince. For her walk down the aisle, Moss chose a custom John Galliano gown—an ethereal, embroidered ivory dress with an opaque bodice that softened into a sheer, whisper-light tail. Designed fresh off the back of Galliano's tenure at Dior, the gown embodied a blend of vintage romance and contemporary ease. Its 1930s-inspired draping and subtle decadence captured both the undone elegance of Moss's personal style and a modern vision of bridalwear. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Bianca Jagger's ivory suit was one of the first bridal looks that ignited my fascination with wedding fashion. Sleek, striking and ahead of its time, her Yves Saint Laurent ensemble retold what it meant to be a bride. The tailored blazer, sharp and structured, was offset by a fluid column skirt, creating a silhouette that felt at once powerful and poetic. For her Saint-Tropez ceremony, Jagger completed the look with YSL's now-iconic Le Smoking jacket, an ivory skirt, and a wide-brimmed hat delicately veiled in tulle. Open-toe sandals gave the look a final flourish of insouciant glamour, helping her set the tone for decades of boundary-pushing bridal style to come. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: When Lady Diana Spencer stepped out in her ivory silk taffeta and antique lace gown in 1981, she didn't just marry into royalty—she made bridal history. Designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, the dress was a theatrical vision of regal romance: all sweeping volume, intricate lace, and statement puff sleeves that added a touch of playful grandeur. The antique lace trim delicately framed her face, while the billowing skirt and 25-foot train added drama in spades. Diana's dress didn't just define the bridal aesthetic of the 1980s—it set the standard for fairytale fashion for decades to come. Its voluminous silhouette and lavish detail captured the opulence of its time, yet its influence continues to ripple through modern bridalwear. For those drawn to that kind of princess-worthy drama, look to cascading tulle, sculptural organza, and ornate finishing touches. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: It would be a grave injustice if the icon behind My Heart Will Go On and The Power of Love didn't earn a spot on this list. Luckily for us, Celine Dion delivered a bridal moment as theatrical as her greatest hits. Her wedding look was nothing short of a spectacle: a 20-foot train trailing behind her and a three-kilo crystal-encrusted headpiece—featuring over 2000 Swarovski crystals—crowned her ensemble with dazzling excess. Every inch of Dion's gown was steeped in drama. Saturated with hand-sewn crystal and pearl embellishments, it shimmered from every angle, proving that when it comes to wedding-day style, more can absolutely be more. A true master class in maximalist bridal fashion, Dion's look was bold, opulent, and utterly unforgettable—just like the woman herself. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Long before she became First Lady, Michelle Obama married Barack Obama in 1992 at the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. For the occasion, she chose a classic bridal look that echoed the romance of the day: a traditional white gown featuring an elegant Bardot neckline and softly structured short sleeves that framed her shoulders with grace. The dress flowed into a voluminous satin skirt, a sheer veil draped delicately over her curled hair and pearl drop earrings added a refined, personal touch to the ensemble. Though her gown was more traditional than the contemporary fashion statements she would later become known for, the look captured the poise, elegance and quiet confidence that would come to define her public image. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: The lace! The satin! The shoe! When Diana Ross walked down the aisle in 1985, she did so in true pop-star fashion—fusing glamour, grace and individuality into one unforgettable bridal moment. Her wedding gown was a study in refined drama: a glossy satin dress with a fluid silhouette, topped with a sweeping lace cape that framed her look with soft, romantic grandeur. The ensemble was both theatrical and sophisticated, balancing bold textures and timeless details in a way only Ross could. The cape—delicate yet commanding—added movement and majesty, while her sleek satin gown beneath offered a streamlined counterpoint. Paired with elegant heels and her signature poise, the look captured the essence of '80s opulence. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Dipped in a striking shade of salmon pink, Gwen Stefani's 2002 wedding dress was nothing short of iconic. Designed and hand-painted by John Galliano for Dior, the gown was a bold, painterly statement that captured the early 2000s appetite for fashion that felt rebellious, playful, and anything but traditional. The dress featured a classic strapless silhouette, but it was the ombré wash of color—starting with ivory at the bodice and fading into rich pink at the hem—that really set it apart. Romantic yet unconventional, it felt like a love letter to individuality and creativity, reflecting Stefani's punk-meets-pop sensibility and Galliano's flair for the theatrical. While steeped in the avant-garde, the look still managed to tap into the emotional weight of a wedding gown—it just did so on entirely new terms. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Never had I considered a Vegas wedding so seriously—until I laid eyes on Lily Allen's effortlessly cool Nevada nuptials. Eschewing billowing skirts and froufrou flourishes, the singer opted for a knee-skimming Dior minidress in a classic cream shade. The dress, detailed with double-breasted buttons, nodded to vintage tailoring while maintaining a thoroughly modern edge. With its clean lines and mod silhouette, it felt equal parts timeless and rebellious—exactly what you'd hope for in an offbeat wedding moment. Allen completed the look with a soft, billowy veil and a bouquet of peach-toned roses, adding just the right amount of romantic charm to her city-ceremony style. A love letter to fuss-free fashion with a retro twist, Allen's look makes a strong case for the mini as the ultimate modern-bride move—especially if your aisle happens to be in Vegas. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: What strikes me most about Keira Knightley's bridal look is the playful, carefree charm that seems to infuse every element of it. Eschewing grandeur in favour of something refreshingly low-key, her ensemble felt like a breath of fresh air in a world of structured silhouettes and floor-sweeping trains. Topping her tousled locks was a delicate pink floral headpiece—whimsical and romantic in place of a traditional veil or jewelled tiara. Her dress, a fit-and-flare minidress crafted in airy layers of tulle, brought a youthful, effervescent spirit to the look. Knightley topped it all off with a cropped tweed jacket and a pair of pale-pink ballet flats. The result? A look that felt utterly her own: relaxed, romantic and undeniably cool. It's this easy confidence that continues to earn her a spot on my list of unforgettable brides. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Elegant yet relaxed, Yoko Ono's bridal look for her 1969 wedding to John Lennon was a master class in minimalist cool—calling on the simple silhouettes of the era to create a style that felt effortlessly chic and refreshingly ahead of its time. Staying true to a traditional white palette, Ono chose a tiered minidress that she styled it with knee-high socks and classic white plimsolls—a choice that felt unconventional then and still reads as boldly original today. Her accessories were just as distinctive: oversized sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat added an extra dose of personality. Stripped-back yet completely singular, Ono's look was a reflection of her own creative spirit. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: When I first compiled this list, one look immediately came to mind as absolutely essential: Grace Kelly's wedding dress for her 1956 nuptials to Rainier III, Prince of Monaco. It's a gown that embodies elegance, and its beauty continues to captivate to this day. Classic, poised and imbued with an air of regal refinement, Kelly's dress was a masterwork of bridal sophistication. The dress featured a delicate lace bodice that extended gracefully up her clavicle, framing her neck with an almost sculptural flare. Button detailing cascaded down her chest, meeting a thick satin waistband that transitioned into a voluminous skirt—each element contributing to the dress's romantic allure. As dramatic as the design was, there was an effortless refinement that carried through, ensuring the gown never veered into excess. Set against the backdrop of Monaco's glamour, Kelly's wedding dress echoed the romance and grandeur of the location while maintaining a quiet, regal dignity. It's the perfect blend of old-world romance and sophisticated drama—undoubtedly one of the most iconic bridal moments in history. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: The only bride on my list to depart from the classic white gown, Sarah Jessica Parker married Matthew Broderick in 1997, wearing a striking black wedding dress by designer Morgane Le Fay. Choosing the dark hue to shift the focus away from herself on her wedding day, Parker later admitted to feeling some regret over the unconventional choice. Yet, for me, it remains one of the most memorable takes on bridal style of all time. The dress, with its sleek lines and soft, ethereal fabric, was a departure from tradition. While many might have shied away from such an unconventional bridal choice, Parker embraced it with poise and confidence, something that only added to the appeal of this bold, unforgettable moment. Even years later, I continue to regard this as one of the most refreshing, boundary-pushing bridal looks I've come across. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: Solange Knowles's 2014 wedding look captured the free-spirited, offbeat energy of the time. Eschewing the traditional bridal gown, Solange selected a light cream jumpsuit, complete with cape detailing and a scoop-neck finish, resulting in a bridal look infused with a comfortable and chic energy that reflected her unique style. Pictured with a bicycle in hand and a bouquet delicately draped over the frame, Solange's ensemble felt full of personality—a celebration of individuality and a far cry from the expected, yet still wholly appropriate for a wedding. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: If lavish lace is on your bridal mood board, then look no further than Lily Collins's stunning lace-adorned gown. Draping the actress in layers of intricate embroidery, her bridal look exuded opulence and romance. The gown was completed with a dramatic floor-length cape that extended up to a hood, adding an ethereal, almost regal quality to her ensemble. Making a case for extravagance without ever feeling overdone, the lace detailing—delicate yet rich in texture—created a visual feast, while the cape added a touch of grandeur. Every element of the look played into the fantasy of the occasion, with drama and decadence served in equal measure. View Deal View Deal View Deal Style Notes: It was a had-to-be-there moment. Joining TikTok in time for her summer nuptials and documenting it all the way through, Sofia Richie had us glued to our phones as the quiet luxury purveyor took us through the weeklong occasion of her 2023 wedding. For her big day, Richie selected a bespoke Chanel gown that featured a halterneck design, adorned with intricate embroidery that added a subtle layer of opulence without overwhelming the overall look. The gown's fine detailing was matched only by the ethereal, wispy veil that enveloped her face, creating a soft, romantic aura. The delicate veil, paired with the sleek simplicity of her dress, ensured that Richie's bridal look was both timeless and contemporary, effortlessly chic and deeply memorable. Richie's wedding look set the stage for a new wave of bridal style, one that embraces refined luxury without the need for excess, leaving a lasting impact on the fashion world and beyond.

Lauren Sánchez's Bachelorette-Party Style Is Still Going Strong in Cannes
Lauren Sánchez's Paris bachelorette may be over—but she's not yet finished with her bridal-style outfits. Today, the former television journalist was spotted hand-in-hand with fiancé Jeff Bezos as they went out to dinner in Cannes. She wore a short white mini dress with a bubble hem, which she paired with gold statement earrings and strappy white sandals. Tucked under her arm? A black crocodile Hermès bag. The two are in town for the world-famous film festival, which has seen stars from Jennifer Lawrence to Emma Stone descend on the French Riviera in the highest style. (Quite literally: the former wore Dior on the red carpet, while the latter wore Louis Vuitton.) For Bezos—the founder of Amazon and therefore its subsidiary Amazon MGM Studios—it is technically a business trip… albeit one that allows them to stay on their mega-yacht of Koru. But it's not the main reason they are there: This week, Sánchez will receive the Global Gift Women Empowerment Award at Eva Longoria's Global Gift Foundation charity gala. She is being honored for work with the Bezos Earth Fund and This Is About Humanity, which assists families separated at the U.S.-Mexico border. It's just the latest high-profile moment for Sánchez after a high-profile few weeks. First, there was her all-female Blue Origin flight in mid-April; then, her splashy bachelorette party in Paris. Celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Katy Perry headed to the City of Lights for an itinerary that included dinner at the Cheval Blanc hotel and a boat ride on the Seine. And they certainly did it in style: Sánchez herself wore everything from a Murmur corset set to an Oscar de la Renta crop top, whereas Kardashian donned an off-the-shoulder Louis Vuitton top. If this is just her and her friend group's bachelorette style, it seems we're in for some seriously over-the-top bridal style for Sanchez and Bezos's actual wedding—rumored to be sometime this summer.

See the 13 Celebrities Who Wore Their Wedding Dresses Again Years Later
A wedding dress is an investment, so why limit it to just one trip down the aisle? With myriad events requiring celebs to dress in their finest, some have decided their bridal gowns deserve another moment in the spotlight. Whether preserving the original design (like Adrienne Bailon in 2019) or creatively recycling it (as Troian Bellisario did at the 2020 Golden Globes), these sentimental pieces are finding new life. See which stars gave their wedding attire another whirl. In PEOPLE's 2025 World's Most Beautiful issue, Kelly Ripa revealed that her wedding dress from her 1996 Las Vegas elopement with husband Mark Consuelos is still getting plenty of wear. "I took the tags off to wear it to our wedding, and I wear it all the time now as a beach cover-up," she told PEOPLE, adding that the "off-the-rack" piece from Barneys New York cost her "a lot of money" back then. During a 2016 episode of her daytime show with then–co-host Michael Strahan, Ripa explained how she'd always envisioned the dress as a long-term wardrobe staple. "I didn't buy it as a wedding dress. I just bought it because it was really pretty," she said. "I said to myself, 'I bet if I buy this, maybe it will be an investment piece. Maybe I will wear it more than once.' " Queen Camilla has revisited her scallop-edged Robinson Valentine dress and coat — originally debuted at her 2005 civil ceremony with King Charles III — on multiple occasions. The royal gave the outfit a second outing at the National Assembly of Wales in June 2007, updating it with a beige hat and pearl necklace. In April 2025, she marked her and King Charles' 20th wedding anniversary by rewearing it once more during a state visit to Rome. Related: The Best Royal Wedding Dresses of All Time Just weeks after officially tying the knot in December 2024, Rebel Wilson and Ramona Agruma rewore their wedding-day gowns on their first public date as a married couple at a dinner event during day one of the 2025 Australian Open. Wilson's look was a blush-pink, off-the-shoulder dress, while Agruma wore a white and peach floral frock with scalloped trim on the sleeves and hemline. After 14 years of marriage, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi celebrated the occasion in 2023 with a surprise vow renewal at their home, and de Rossi made the moment even more special by rewearing her Zac Posen wedding gown from their 2008 nuptials. With celebrity guests like Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston and officiator Kris Jenner, de Rossi turned heads in her off-white, halter-neck dress — featuring satin finishes and a billowing tulle skirt. Emma Stone surprised fans at the 2022 Met Gala by wearing a never-before-seen look from her closet — one of her wedding outfits! The Oscar winner first wore the Louis Vuitton mini dress with sheer straps and a feathered hem at the afterparty for her 2020 wedding to Dave McCary. "Sartorial revival," the Vuitton Instagram account captioned a photo of Stone standing alongside fashion designer Nicolas Ghesquière and Squid Game star Hoyeon while giving the frock a "second life" on the red carpet. On Nov. 11, 2019, Adrienne Bailon celebrated two milestones: three years of marriage to Israel Houghton and the first-year anniversary of her jewelry brand, XIXI. To honor both, she launched a Happily Ever Wedding collection — featuring pieces inspired by her own nuptials, including a replica of her square-cut engagement ring and rose gold wedding band — and even slipped back into her original wedding dress. For the occasion, the Cheetah Girls star rewore her custom sequined mermaid gown designed by Ryan Patros and Walter Mendez from Ryan and Walter Bridal, with no alterations needed. 'I had it professionally preserved right after the wedding, and it was stored in a box in my glam room,' Bailon told PEOPLE in 2019. 'It was the exact same as it was on my wedding day.' For a 2019 photo shoot with British Vogue, Victoria Beckham stepped back into the strapless corseted Vera Wang ballgown she wore to wed husband David Beckham at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. For their 25th wedding anniversary in 2024, the fashion designer and now-retired soccer star paid homage to another look from their big day: their iconic purple Antonio Berardi reception outfits. "Look what we found…" the couple captioned an Instagram photo of themselves lounging on thrones. Keira Knightley can't get enough of one Chanel number! The Pride and Prejudice actress wore the grey tulle minidress she wore to marry James Righton five years before their May 2013 nuptials, and again a few months after. Knightley first wore the dress at a pre-BAFTA bash in 2008 beneath a black coat, and again on her wedding day with a white tweed jacket and flower crown, Vogue reported. For the frock's third run, the star styled it over a sheer long-sleeved shirt with delicate embroidery at a December 2013 gala. So nice, she wore it twice! Phillips broke out the strapless ballgown with a waist-defining black bow she wore for her 2007 wedding to screenwriter Marc Silverstein for a special episode of Busy Tonight in 2019. "Yes. I really pulled out my wedding dress from 12 years ago and wore it on my show tonight," she joked on Instagram at the time. "It basically fit except my stupid upper rib cage which grew after my 2 babies. No one tells you about that s---. But babies expand your rib cage so, just be aware." The now-divorced couple share two daughters, Birdie Leigh and Cricket Pearl. Liberty Ross got more mileage out of the silk gown she sported for the beach festivities of her wedding to music mogul Jimmy Iovine in 2016, just two weeks after they said "I do." The model tied her hair back in a ponytail and carried a black clutch at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, proving that some bridal style is just too pretty to stay in storage. Related: Celebrities Who Didn't Wear Traditional Wedding Dresses Look familiar? Alex Borstein had a memorable night in a memorable gown (again!) at the Emmy Awards in 2018. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star won the award for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series in the same silver gown she wore to marry Jackson Douglas in 1999. The actors split in 2014 in a divorce finalized three years later, and Borstein addressed her outfit's history on the Emmys red carpet. "The marriage didn't last, but the dress did, and I wanted to give it new life — so now it's my Emmys dress," she told Glamour magazine at the time. "That's the truth." Business on the top, bridal on the bottom! Troian Bellisario reimagined her wedding dress for a Golden Globes party in 2020, wearing the tulle skirt from her 2016 nuptials to Suits star Patrick J. Adams with a pink top. "Wore half my wedding dress," the Pretty Little Liars alumna joked on Instagram, sharing a photo at home with her husband after the Globes bash. "Home by 11. Eating ice cream."
