1 Meghan Markle: Timeless Minimalism
When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in May 2018, she chose a gown that broke with royal tradition. Designed by Clare Waight Keller for Givenchy, the pure white silk cady dress featured a clean bateau neckline, three-quarter sleeves and no lace or embellishment. Its smooth A-line skirt flowed into a 16.5-foot train, conveying modernity through sleek lines. Meghan’s veil, embroidered with flowers representing the Commonwealth, added a personal touch to an otherwise pared-back silhouette.
2 Lily Collins: Victorian Romanticism
In September 2021 Lily Collins wed Charlie McDowell at a mountain resort in Colorado. She wore a bespoke Ralph Lauren gown crafted from Calais-Caudry lace, beaded with Swarovski crystals and silk organza petals. The long-sleeved, high-neck A-line dress evoked Victorian charm, while the matching hooded cape created a magical “enchanted forest” effect. The cape and gown together took over 200 hours to produce, making it a true labour of love.
3 Lily Allen: Chic Vegas Sophistication
Lily Allen’s Las Vegas wedding to David Harbour in September 2020 proved that bridal style need not be formal to feel fabulous. The singer slipped into a ’60s-inspired ivory mini dress by Dior, complete with black buttons and a slim belt. The off-the-shoulder neckline and button-front silhouette made it both playful and elegant. For her reception, she famously tucked into an In-N-Out burger—proof that a bridal gown can be glamorous and laid-back at once.
4 Millie Bobby Brown: Youthful Elegance
Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown celebrated her Tuscan wedding in October 2024 with not one but four designer gowns. Her ceremony look was a custom Galia Lahav creation featuring delicate lace, a corset-style bodice and a dramatic train. The ethereal design perfectly balanced tradition and youthful flair, reflecting Millie’s modern bridal aesthetic.
Whether you crave Meghan’s sleek minimalism, Lily Collins’s romantic lace, Lily Allen’s carefree chic or Millie’s fashion-forward elegance, these celebrity gowns remind us that bridal style is deeply personal.
