Some dress styles defy time and inspire the generations to come. One of the celebrities whose wedding gown has been recreated multiple times is Grace Kelly. An American actress who became Princess of Monaco by marrying Prince Rainier III in April 1956.
In the last 20 years, Hollywood stars, with the help of their favorite fashion designers, have left their mark with their dreamy wedding dress selections. From Jennifer Lopez in Ralph Lauren and Paris Hilton in Oscar de la Renta, find below the gowns we believe will never go out of style.
Jennifer Lopez
In celebration of Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s wedding, Ralph Lauren created the bride’s three custom gowns. “The dresses were dreamy... thank you, Ralph Lauren,” Lopez wrote in her On The JLo newsletter.
Lopez walked down the aisle in a turtleneck column dress with a jaw-dropping ruffles skirt. The gown featured flared cape sleeves, an open mesh back, and a cathedral veil perfect for a movie star.
For the party, JLo changed into two other wedding dresses. This one with an Old Hollywood flare had a body-hugging silhouette and was adorned with stringed pearl details.
The third gown was as spectacular as the other. The look had a modern and sleek design, and featured a keyhole cutout on the chest, twisted back straps, and embedded Swarovski crystals.
Britney Spears
Britney Spears captured everyone’s attention during her fairytale wedding, which included a Cinderella-style carriage covered in flowers, celebrity guests and the most stunning wedding gown fit for a princess, designed exclusively for the iconic singer by Donatella Versace.
The fashion icon, who also attended the ceremony in Los Angeles, revealed her experience designing the gown for Britney’s big day, featuring a portrait neckline, a trail of pearl buttons down the back, and a front slit, accompanied by a silk tulle veil, a silk satin trim, and matching satin pumps.
“Britney’s wedding dress was a dream to design,” Donatella confessed. “The dress is crafted in a delicate white silk cady and features a portrait neckline that wraps around the shoulders and comes together with a stream of pearl buttons.”
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton wore a roster of custom bridal styles for her to wear three-part wedding weekend. Hilton kicked off the celebration with an elegant, Grace Kelly-inspired Oscar de la Renta wedding dress designed by the brand’s creative director Fernando Garcia.
As reported by Vogue, Garcia and co-creative director Laura Kim spent months brainstorming about what Paris’s wedding might look like. “Paris has always wanted to look like a princess, but we wanted to make sure we added a grand touch to it with the pressed flowers and a dramatic veil—and when it all came together, it very much felt angelic,” he said.
“I surprised Paris with the veil on the last day of the fittings,” Garcia adds. “She had no idea that we were going to do this veil, and I felt it was appropriate given the occasion. The moment she put on the dress, I wanted her to immediately be able to focus on the fact that she was marrying her best friend.”
For the party, the bride changed into an off-the-shoulder Gahlia Lahav dress and Giuseppe Zanotti heels. She then rocked a bejeweled Pamella Roland gown with a plunging neckline and sequin-covered cape.
For the fourth and final look, Paris wore a sophisticated, short, flirty party dress by Oscar de la Renta, with the same floral appliqué used in her wedding dress. She completed the look with custom Aquazzura heels.
Meghan Markle
Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in 2018. Although the wedding was fairly recent, her wedding dress, designed by Clare Waight Keller of Givenchy, is now considered as the most popular wedding dress of the decade.
According to the dress’ designer, Meghan’s dress was meant to be a “timeless piece that would emphasize the iconic codes of Givenchy throughout its history, as well as convey modernity through sleek lines and sharp cuts,” she said to Tatler.
Hailey Bieber
Hailey Baldwin Bieber wore a gown by late designer Virgil Abloh for Off-White. Hailey was extremely happy with the result. “thank you for making my vision come to life and creating my dream dress. You and your @off____white team are incredible and I’m forever grateful I got to wear your beautiful creation,” she wrote in an Instagram post.
Ivanka Trump
In 2009, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump married in New York in front of 500 guests (including late Barbara Walters and Regis Philbin). The bride wore a classic, custom-made Vera Wang gown inspired by Grace Kelly, accessorized with $220,000 worth of diamonds from the Ivanka Trump Collection.
