Stars always walk down the aisle in style.
From Kate Middleton to Sofia Richie, plenty of famous brides have continued to influence wedding fashion trends long after saying “I do.”
Just ask Kleinfeld Bridal VP and COO Marissa Rubinetti, who tells Page Six Style shoppers “will often provide celebrity inspiration” upon arriving for their appointments at the iconic bridal boutique.
The most popular muses? Both “classic style icons such as Grace Kelly and Jackie O” and “trending looks from fashion-forward brides such as Gwen Stefani and Ariana Grande,” she explains.
While Rubinetti ultimately recommends shoppers stick with their own style preferences and how they’ve “always envisioned themselves on their wedding day,” celebrity nuptials can certainly help them create their bridal vision boards.
Below, take a look back at some of the most iconic celebrity wedding dresses — plus, where to shop similar styles online.
Sofia Richie
Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge’s wedding took TikTok by storm in April 2023, cementing quiet luxury‘s spot in fashion’s lexicon.
“I want to keep it simple and timeless,” the star told Page Six Style in 2022 of her vision for the big day.
While Richie ended up selecting a Chanel Haute Couture gown that took four-and-a-half months to make, it won’t take nearly as long to shop the makeup she wore for her wedding day — or chic halter-neck styles similar to the one she wore down the aisle.

Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle opted for a relatively simpler silhouette for her wedding to Prince Harry in 2018, wearing an off-the-shoulder gown designed by then-Givenchy head Clare Waight Keller. She accessorized with Cartier jewelry plus Queen Mary’s diamond bandeau tiara, the latter on loan from Queen Elizabeth II.
As her royal role came into full bloom, the Duchess of Sussex also donned a veil embroidered with flowers from all 53 countries of the Commonwealth (plus the California Poppy, representing her birth state).
“I had a very clear vision of what I wanted for the day and what I wanted the dress to look like,” Markle said in a 2018 audio recording for Windsor Castle’s “A Royal Wedding: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex” exhibition.

She paired the look with PrettyLittleThing shoes, telling Instagram followers, “everything was ordered” the week of the courthouse wedding.

Hailey Bieber
Boyfriend no more! Justin Bieber became Hailey Baldwin’s husband during the couple’s luxe South Carolina wedding in 2019. While the Rhode founder wore a total of three dresses throughout the night, she walked down the aisle in this custom ivory gown from Off-White and a veil embroidered with “Til Death Do Us Part.”

Paris Hilton
That’s haute. Paris Hilton didn’t stick to just one look for her 2021 wedding to Carter Reum, where she had a grand total of six outfit changes. But it was this floral Oscar de la Renta gown — which she described to Vogue as “timeless, elegant, chic, and iconic” — that made the cut for her walk down the aisle.
And while we might not all have 45 dresses designed for us to pick from — as Hilton did, according to her 2023 chat with British Vogue — the options below make for a great starting point.

Carrie Bradshaw
While Sarah Jessica Parker wore a black Morgan Le Fay dress for her real-life wedding to Matthew Broderick, her “Sex and the City” character, Carrie Bradshaw, went the more traditional route.
Bradshaw’s relationship with Mr. Big didn’t last, but her iconic Vivienne Westwood gown certainly has; Parker slipped it on again for a Met Gala scene in “And Just Like That,” filmed over a decade later in 2022.

Gwen Stefani
There’s (ahem) no doubt that Gwen Stefani added plenty of meaningful touches to her 2021 bridal looks. The singer sported a plunging Vera Wang dress for her and Blake Shelton’s intimate Oklahoma ceremony, complete with a veil embroidered with the names of her kids.
“Gwen knows clothes. Many performers at that level, they’re very savvy about how they look best,” Wang told Page Six Style in 2022, adding, “There was this kind of charm and this kind of cool and a little bit of a Western vibe.”

Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian kept all the small things in mind for her 2022 wedding to Travis Barker. She selected a short, lingerie-inspired Dolce & Gabbana design for the lavish occasion, plus custom underthings and a long veil embroidered with both a depiction of the Virgin Mary and the words “family loyalty respect,” inspired by Barker’s head tattoo.

Jennifer Lopez
From rom-coms to real life, Jennifer Lopez has worn a whole slew of wedding gowns over the years — so it’s no surprise she didn’t stick to just one when marrying Ben Affleck in 2022. She selected a trio of Ralph Lauren designs for her all-white wedding ceremony, including this ruffled look for the couple’s “I dos.”
And while you can’t have Lopez as your wedding planner (although she famously played one on the silver screen), taking inspiration from multi-hyphenate’s big-day looks might be the next best thing.
