11 most iconic on-screen wedding dresses

In the 2008 film, Carrie Bradshaw, played by Sarah Jessica Parker herself, is the New York journalist extraordinaire who swapped a courthouse understated skirt suit for this head-turning gown by Vivienne Westwood. First seen in Westwood's Fall/Winter 2007 collection, the gown was re-designed by the designer herself specifically for the character.

The 2002 film opens with a wedding between Lopez's character, Slim, and boyfriend Mitch Hiller. With an elegant updo, sweetheart neckline, and teardrop earrings, this on-screen bridal look is nothing short of beautiful.

A royal wedding for the Upper East Side princess — Blair Waldorf married Prince Louis in a stunning Vera Wang A-line gown featuring delicate lace details from the designer's Fall/Winter 2010 collection. The show's stylist Eric Daman explained the dress choice in an interview, "Vera is an American designer, and Blair is an American princess."

In one of J.Lo’s most beloved rom-coms, her character — wedding planner Mary Fiore — says “I do” in a vintage-style stark white boatneck gown. The dress made headlines in late 2018 when Meghan Markle's Givenchy dress for her royal ceremony appeared to be strikingly similar.

It took designer Carolina Herrera — and four seamstresses — over six months to create this custom look for Kristen Stewart to wear for her on-screen wedding to her vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen. Elements of romance paired with timeless sophistication perfectly embody the character herself.

In one of her more recent films, J.Lo takes on the role of musical superstar Kat Valdez. In a Zuhair Murad Couture gown covered in ornate metallic embellishments, Lopez says "I do" in front of thousands of adoring fans. Costume designer Caroline Duncan explains this was no easy task, as "the dress weighed 95 pounds and required five people to transport it and an entourage to get Jennifer in and out of it."

In yet another on-screen royal wedding, Anne Hathaway takes on the role of Princess Mia of Genovia. The schoolgirl-turned-royal walks down the aisle in a regal, lace-sleeved wedding dress by esteemed costume designer Gary Jones. Mia's dress is pure elegance fit for a princess.

In another on-screen bridal moment, J.Lo plays Charlie, the bride-to-be whose hilarious relationship with her mother-in-law has made this another iconic film for the real-life newlywed. Here, Lopez wears an ivory SaeYoung Vu Couture gown and matching opera gloves fit for a princess.

In the pilot episode of the iconic show, Rachel's memorable almost-bridal moment was entirely unplanned, says costume designer Debra McGuire. With the show's concept untested, McGuire selected the gown from the Warner Bros. costume department stock, explaining, "I was in the costume house, [where] there were millions of dresses, and I remember going through and pulling that one out and it looked perfect."

When J.Lo's character Zoe says her vows in a sweet rosette wedding dress. The loose and flowy silhouette proves to be a flattering look, but Christian Louboutin stilettos add a necessary touch of sophistication for the heavily pregnant bride-to-be.

In her upcoming film, J.Lo takes on the role of Darcy, a bride whose destination wedding becomes anything but romantic. The stunning Galia Lahav gown clearly has been thematically adapted to the script with dust, dirt, and even combat boots. Yet in an ethereal off-the-shoulder neckline and volume all brides dream of, Lopez once again proves she's the on-screen wedding queen.
