All the Times Celebrities Were Bridesmaids

Vanessa Hudgens

When Sarah Hyland married Wells Adams at Sunstone Winery in Santa Ynez, California, on August 20, 2022, Vanessa Hudgens played a very important role. The Princess Switch star took on bridesmaid duties in a rose silk gown with a cowl neck for the Modern Family actress's big day. On December 14, 2022, Hyland shared a tribute to Hudgens for her birthday, revealing that the singer and actress was a member of her bridal party. "I’m so grateful to have had someone like you by my side on my wedding day 💕," the caption reads.

Sydney Sweeney

Sydney Sweeney played the ultimate role as a bridesmaid for her friend Jayde Emory’s wedding to Drew Hafner. During the romantic cliffside ceremony in Wrightwood, California, which took place in October of 2022 and was photographed by Cortney Mace, the Euphoria star stood by the bride’s side in a taupe crepe gown with flutter sleeves, a deep V-neck, and a bold slit by Birdy Grey. The actress wore her hair in a ponytail, and she accessorized with drop earrings and a delicate necklace.

Naomi Biden

Naomi Biden took a break from planning her own future nuptials to serve as a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding over the weekend. President Biden’s granddaughter—who got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Peter Neal back in 2021—posted a photo carousel to her Instagram, giving followers a peek at the floral-filled wedding. In one photo, Naomi can be seen posing with the bride and another bridesmaid while wearing matching pink-and-white bridesmaid robes.

Naomi also shared a photo of her Amsale off-the-shoulder champagne-colored bridesmaid dress, which was apparently involved in a red wine mishap shortly after the snap was taken. "Taken ten minutes before peter spilled an entire glass of red wine on my dress," she captioned the post.

Anya Taylor-Joy

In a star-studded wedding like Ivy Getty's where royals, fashion designers, and officiant Nancy Pelosi rub shoulders, it comes as no surprise that the wedding party was no less glamorous. The Queen's Gambit star and red carpet chameleon Anya Taylor-Joy served as the maid of honor for the lavish affair.

The actress sported several different looks for the multi-day event, including '60s mod attire (fitting) for the welcome party and a stunning silver slip dress for the nuptials. John Galliano made a notable exception in designing her gown telling Vogue, "normally, I don't do bridesmaids' dresses because bridal gowns alone take up so much of my time."

Rachel Bilson

Rachel Bilson's bridesmaid dress for her gal pal's wedding was totally runway-ready. The gown features a pretty pink hue, a princess-worthy floor-sweeping hemline, an off-the-shoulder sweetheart neckline, and a curve-hugging silhouette. Without a ruffle or unflattering seam in sight, this is what bridesmaid dress dreams are made of!

JoJo Fletcher

While we wait for the former Bachelorette to tie the knot with her fiancé Jordan Rodgers, we got a little bridal preview of JoJo Fletcher when she walked down the aisle at a pal's wedding in Necker Island, which is part of the British Virgin Islands. Fletcher looked as gorgeous as ever in her Watters bridesmaid dress!

Dianna Agron

Before the actress was a bride herself (she wed Mumford & Sons banjoist Winston Marshall in October 2016), she took on bridesmaid duties at a friend's wedding. Agron walked down the aisle in the $400 Anne Dress from Reformation—and looked totally stunning, we might add!

Supermodels Cassia Lara, Fernanda Motta, Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Jeisa Chiminazzo

When Brazilian covergirl Ana Beatriz Barros tied the knot, she transformed her wedding aisle to a runway, filling her bridal party with a slew of international supermodels. Cassia Lara, Fernanda Motta, Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Jeisa Chiminazzo all showed off their gorgeous gams in blush bridesmaid gowns with high slits in the silky skirts.

Miranda Kerr

When Miranda Kerr's brother Matthew tied the knot with his longtime partner, restaurateur James Wright, in a commitment ceremony, the supermodel served as a beautiful bridesmaid, wearing a white bridesmaid dress and boho flower crown for the big day.

Brittany Snow

At Anna Camp and Skylar Astin's wedding, their co-star Brittany Snow was right by their side to make sure everything was pitch-perfect! Snow and the other bridesmaids rocked mismatched pale-pink bridesmaid dresses by Theia for the occasion.

Taylor Swift

When Taylor Swift's childhood best friend wed her high school sweetheart, the superstar was right there by her side—in a Reem Acra bridesmaid gown, no less—to hear her BFF say, "you belong with me." (A wedding is just too good an opportunity for some T-Swift song references, no?)

Lindsay Arnold, Emma Slater, Jenna Johnson, and Brittany Cherry

Just imagine the dance floor at this reception! Dancing With the Stars pro Witney Carson, called upon her twirling co-stars to serve as bridesmaids at her New Year's Day wedding. Lindsay Arnold, Emma Slater, Jenna Johnson, and Brittany Cherry all donned matching pale-pink Amsale gowns and wintery wraps for the occasion.

Emma Roberts

A fashion designer is bound is have the most beautiful of bridal styles—and the most fashionable of friends! Designer Kara Smith recruited Scream Queens star Emma Roberts as one of her bridesmaids, outfitting her girls in variating styles of ivory-hued maxi dresses.

Sofia Vergara

Well, that's one way to practice for your wedding! Before tying the knot with Magic Mike XXL hunk Joe Manganiello, the Modern Family star served as a bridesmaid for one of her closest friends. She wore a strapless yellow bridesmaid dress and carried a white bouquet for her pal's nuptials, which paired beautifully with the bride's own classic white strapless wedding dress and larger white bouquet.

Eva Longoria

Leave it to the stunning actress to make a standard bridesmaid dress look red carpet-worthy. Longoria rocked a seafoam green Jenny Yoo strapless, floor-length gown for her friend Alina Peralta's wedding in Cordoba, Spain, but it was her personal additions that made it really stand out—a bedazzled belt and the relatable way she took off her heels to walk the cobblestone streets!

Rihanna

When the ultimate Bad Gal is your bridesmaid, BFF, and boss, you know you're in for a good time at your wedding. The superstar posted photos of her pal Jennifer Rosales's Hawaiian wedding day, which featured Rihanna herself in a stunning lilac Badgley Mischka gown. The only thing better than her curve-hugging bridesmaid dress? The "bridesmaid" and "bride" robes the whole party donned before the Rastafarian-themed bash.

Rachel McAdams

Rachel McAdams knows a thing or two about weddings, thanks to her many roles in the best romantic comedies of our age. She recently put her experience to good use as her sister Kayleen's maid of honor! McAdams was seen wiping away tears at her younger sister's Canadian nuptials. She looked good doing it, too—she donned a draped, halter bridesmaid dress in a gorgeous light blue color.

Nicole "Snooki" Polizi and Deena Cortese

It was a Jersey Shore affair when Jenni "JWoww" Farley wed now ex-husband Roger Mathews in 2015. Farley's MTV castmates Snooki and Deena joined her for her walk down the aisle, wearing purple lace bridesmaid dresses in a form-fitting mermaid cut.

Lena Dunham

The Girls star played the part of jubilant, supportive friend at her pal Isabel Halley's wedding. The actress and director shared snaps of her posing with the bridal party and nuzzling into the bride's neck, all while wearing a lovely Reformation bridesmaid dress.

Cara Delevingne

The supermodel pulled a Pippa Middleton while serving as her big sister Poppy's maid of honor, donning a floor-length white Chanel gown with a flutter detail on the neckline and sleeves. We love how she kept the rest of the look understated, with a simple bun and killer shoes.

Beyoncé

We may never know exactly what Queen Bey wore to BFF and fellow former Destiny's Child-er Kelly Rowland's wedding, but it's widely assumed she served as a bridesmaid. She shared this snap on the wedding day, and if you ask us, the polished hairstyle and hint of organza on her shoulder seem to point to a bridesmaid dress. All we know for sure is that this is one day that Bey did not outshine Kelly.

Lauren Conrad

LC has her own line of bridesmaids dresses, so it's no surprise that she looked flawless in one of them at her BFF (and Paper Crown co-founder) Maura McManus's summer wedding.

Brooklyn Decker

Everyone needs that one bridesmaid who will bring the party and good vibes, and clearly, model Brooklyn Decker is that girl. She posted this photo from a friend's wedding, and if her wacky face is any indication, she made the whole day a hilarious celebration.

Vanessa Hudgens

Sure, Ashley Tisdale's September wedding to Christopher French looked gorgeous, but so did Vanessa Hudgens as a bridesmaid! Hudgens stunned in a floor-length, blush pink gown at her High School Musical co-star's wedding—and not just thanks to her trendy crown braid.

Paris Hilton

That's hot. Yes, we're talking about Paris Hilton's daring, low-cut lilac bridesmaid dress she wore for her cousin Brooke Brinson's Mexico wedding! Paris, along with other famous bridesmaids—including sister Nicky and cousins Farrah, Sophia, Alexia, and Portia (you know them as Kyle Richards' daughters on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills)—was every bit the supportive bridesmaids for the big day. "Brooke's wedding! The day is here. Yes! Mexico!" she wrote on an Instagram video. We're sure she brought the party to the reception.

Jennifer Lawrence

J. Law is one of the biggest movie stars on the planet, but on her brother Blaine's wedding day, she was just another bridesmaid in yellow. Her J.Crew dress wasn't quite the Dior couture we're used to seeing her in, but this heartwarming moment with her brother is the typical every-girl reaction we've come to expect from her.

Jessica Simpson

If she didn't have a booming career, we'd suggest that Jessica Simpson take on a side job as a professional bridesmaid. She's been a bridesmaid for her sister Ashlee, her BFF Cacee Cobb, several other close friends, and her assistant. One of the most memorable moments was when Simpson walked down the aisle at her sister's wedding, with her daughter serving as the flower girl to make the moment that much sweeter.

Lady Gaga

Gaga participated in her lifelong bestie's wedding and was spotted in a stunning, draped one-shoulder lilac gown for the New Orleans nuptials. "Watching your best friend get married, these are the specialist times in my life. Seeing happiness in the lives of all my friends," she captioned an Instagram post from the weekend. If those aren't the words of a supportive friend, we don't know what are.

Pippa Middleton

No one will ever forget this royal wedding—or the beautiful bridesmaid who was thrust into the spotlight by the magical affair. Pippa Middleton, the sister of the Duchess of Cambridge, wore a form-fitting, cream-colored gown at the ceremony and took charge of the pint-sized members of the bridal party.

Lottie Moss

At her big sister Kate Moss' 2011 nuptials, budding supermodel Lottie Moss played bridesmaid—and got a little silly while doing so! Kate's art deco–inspired John Galliano wedding dress may have taken center stage, but her mini-me's boho bridesmaid dress also stunned.

The Kardashians

The best part about having sisters? Built-in bridesmaids! For all of the Kardashian nuptials, Kim, Kourtney, Khloé, Kendall, and Kylie all played bridesmaid, but their matching white dresses at Kim's 2011 wedding are among the clan's most memorable.

Nina Dobrev

At Dancing With the Stars pro Julianne Hough's 2017 wedding, Nina Dobrev was one of several bridesmaids to stand by Hough's side. The actress wore a strapless blush pink gown with floral appliques.

Serena Williams

Tennis star Serena Williams played a big part in fellow tennis pro-Caroline Wozniacki's Italian nuptials to NBA player David Lee. As a bridesmaid, Williams wore a scooped neck gown in seafoam green by Amsale.

Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is no stranger to bridesmaid duties and had the important title at two weddings in 2019. As the maid of honor for her cousin's summer wedding in 2019, Gomez wore a gorgeous off-the-shoulder black gown.

Paris Hilton

Can you tell that it wasn't Paris' first time as a bridesmaid at her sister Nicky's Kensington Palace nuptials? The hotel heiress didn't outshine the beautiful bride but still looked like royalty in her pastel blue gauzy gown. The girl has got this whole bridal party thing down pat!

Vanessa Hudgens

Kim Hidalgo and Brant Daugherty's June 2019 wedding turned into a mini High School Musical reunion when Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale served as bridesmaids. The actresses wore two different versions of vintage-style Adrianna Pappell gowns in grey and lavender.

Serena Williams

For her second bridesmaid gig of 2019, Williams was an attendant at her sister-in-law Hayley Ohanian's wedding. While Williams stunned in a candy pink chiffon gown by Azzazie, it was actually her daughter Olympia that stole the show as the flower girl! According to Williams, her daughter, who matched her mom in a pink dress " took her flower girl job very seriously."

Lady Gaga

Of course, Lady Gaga can do no wrong, and in November 2019, she made bridesmaid dresses cool again. Coincidentally matching her bright pink hair to her pink cowl neck slip dress, the singer stood by her make-up artist Sarah Tanno's "I dos" in Mexico.

Emily Ratajkowski

Instead of just holding the bride's bouquet and remembering to bring the wedding rings, this actress had an extra-special job at her friend's wedding—designing her own bridesmaid dress! When Ratajkowski scored a starring role in a pal's nuptials, she rocked a minidress she designed herself as part of her Christy Dawn collection—that retails for a cool $250.
