If you’re anything like us, you might often check out what celebrities are wearing to feel inspired. Whether it’s what skincare product they can’t get enough of, or what fashion trend is taking over red carpets, celebrities can often provide more inspiration than TikTok and Pinterest combined.
So, with that in mind, we’ve decided to look back at some of the bridal styles celebrities have rocked in red carpets over the years. Among the selections, surprisingly, are dresses celebrities wore to their wedding day and later re-wore to a carpet, like Emma Stone at the 2022 Met Gala or Alex Borstein at the 2018 Emmy Awards. “This is actually my wedding dress,” The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel star told Glamour of her wedding dress re-wear. “The marriage didn’t last but the dress did and I wanted to give it new life so now it’s my Emmys dress. That’s the truth.”
In addition to their wedding dress re-wears, many stars have graced red carpets with gorgeous white, ivory and off-white looks over the years. From Greta Lee’s custom Loewe at this year’s 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards to Sofía Vergara’s figure-hugging mermaid dress at the 69th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, check out all our favorite bridal dresses from celebrities below!
