The 11 Best Celebrity Wedding Dresses of the Decade, Because 10 Weren’t Enough

Celebrity brides from 2010 to 2019 truly reflected the shift we’ve seen in bridal over the course of the decade. Classic white wedding dresses are no more, and women are redefining the “rules” like never before. Actually, scratch that – they’re erasing the rules!

In 2018, Meghan Markle wore a Givenchy gown down the aisle at George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, but it was her halter-neck reception gown, a bespoke, sleeveless creation by Stella McCartney, that made headlines and impacted the history of royal dressing. Hailey Baldwin interpreted the words “wedding dress” most literally, tapping Virgil Abloh of Off-White to embroider his signature text in quotes on her bodice and veil. Surely, no one is about to forget that!

We’re here to talk about moments like those – moments that bear significance and hold weight in the fashion world. While we tried to choose one bride from every year, we got stuck in 2011 (that’s right, Kate Middleton’s year!) because we feel Kate Moss‘s sequined Galliano number is just as iconic. You may agree with all of our selections or none of them, but scroll through to have a peek at our choices and see. As the POPSUGAR Fashion team, we stand by this list . . . you know, till death do us part.

Kate Moss's John Galliano Wedding Dress, 2011

We had to include two stylish brides from the year 2011. You can’t look at Kate’s hand-sequined and embroidered gown and tell us it’s not iconic. She completed the look with a long, sparkling veil when she married Jamie Hince at St. Peter’s Church in England on July 1.

Meghan Markle's Stella McCartney Wedding Reception Dress, 2018

While we will never forget Meghan’s Givenchy three-quarter-sleeved satin wedding dress, created by Clare Waight Keller, it was her Stella McCartney reception gown that really stole the show and made headlines. The Duchess of Sussex styled her bespoke halter-neck number with Aquazzura heels and Princess Diana’s Asprey gemstone ring when she joined Prince Harry for their party at Frogmore House on the evening of May 19. Meghan’s decision to show off some skin and bare her shoulders will forever go down in history as a significant moment in royal dressing.
