14 of the Best Celebrity Wedding-Guest Dresses to Inspire Your Own Look

Celebrity wedding-guest dresses are almost as fun as celebrity bridal gowns. Think about it: Getting dressed up for a wedding has always been a fun practice, but the ceremonies on this year’s calendar feel exceptionally special. For many of us, these celebrations of love (which may have been postponed and years in the making!) might also mark the first time we reunite with loved ones in cocktail dresses and ballroom gowns. So how does one prepare for such a momentous occasion? Well, by getting inspiration from some of our favorite style stars. We look to them for street style tips, so why not take a page from their books when heading to your friend’s wedding?

Over the years, we’ve seen many tastemakers support family and friends while dressed to the nines. From the head-turning satin number Emily Ratajkowski wore to the nuptials of Marc Jacobs and Char Defrancesco to the floral-printed gown Naomi Campbell donned during Prince Albert II of Monaco’s royal soirée, their wedding-day ensembles could certainly be sources of inspiration. Below, you’ll find 14 celebrity wedding-guest dresses to help inform your own look—no royal-wedding invite needed.

Kendall Jenner

Time and time again, Jenner continues to make a strong case for the best-dressed guest award. This time, she nailed her look by wearing a vintage Dolce & Gabbana dress to her sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s wedding.

Emily Ratajkowski

Get in the spirit of the joyous occasion with an equally cheerful yellow dress—like the silky number Ratajkowski wore to the wedding of Marc Jacobs.

Hailey Bieber

When in doubt, a little black dress will be your savior. Follow Bieber’s lead and look for unique necklines and stretchy fabrics for a glamorous touch.

Dua Lipa

More and more modern-day couples are requesting guests to wear the same colors. If the dress code calls for white, have fun with romantic lace fabric, just like Dua Lipa wore for a friend’s nuptials. 

Kim Kardashian

For black-tie occasions, bring on the drama with a dark gown and plunging neckline à la Kardashian.

Amal Clooney

Dopamine-inducing colors like marigold will light up the room. Follow Clooney’s lead and select a classic sheath that will never go out of style.

Gabrielle Union

At David Grutman and Isabel Rangel’s wedding, Union put a romantic twist on the LBD with lace insets. The sweet combination is a timeless option that will withstand the test of time.

Kate Moss

You can always count on a fanciful print to make a statement, especially one in romantic tones like the dress Moss wore to the wedding of Prince Christian of Hanover and Alessandra de Osma at Basilica San Pedro.

Ashley Graham

If the dress code calls for all-white attire, it’s totally fine to wear the shade traditionally reserved for the bride. Add a sparkling touch, similar to that on Graham’s dress, with silver sequins or metallic fabrics.

Jessica Alba

Don’t underestimate the power of a dress that can do double duty. A black maxi similar to Alba’s is perfect for mixing and matching with different accessories. Plus, it can be worn over and over again.

Naomi Campbell

Fluid fabrics like silks and satins are perfect for dressier occasions. Play up the look with pastel shades or elegant floral prints that offer a sweet touch.

Beyoncé

For her sister’s all-white ceremony, Beyoncé proved less is more in a minimalist all-white frock. Channel the same vibes with a chic dress by The Row or one of the white frocks inspired by designer Jacquemus’s ceremony where most guests wore white.

Sienna Miller

For a little more coverage, a long-sleeve dress is also a great option. Miller opted for a chocolate-hued number while attending Ellie Goulding and Caspar Jopling’s nuptials.

Katy Perry

Leave it to Perry to show us a way to wear smile-inducing colors at a wedding. Her prismatic tie-dye dress feels just as special as the moment.
