Being a celebrity can make it difficult to blend into the background during a wedding, especially when they’re bridesmaids…
Weddings are a magical time for most brides. It’s their opportunity to wear the dress of their dreams, and spend the rest of their lives with their partner of choice. There’s one thing that also makes the lead up to the big day itself a whole lot of fun, and that’s the people you surround yourself with. As a bride, these are your trusty bridesmaids. Those gals (and guys…) who have been with you through thick and thin, and are now ready to make sure that your big day is all you’ve ever dreamed of. However, celebrity bridesmaids, can find it hard blending into the background during a wedding, and can often inadvertently steal the limelight for themselves.
These celebrity bridesmaids tried to not be the focus at these weddings, but it was pretty hard for them not to be.
TAYLOR SWIFT
Taylor Swift is arguably one of the most recognisable faces in the music industry. And so when she was a stunning bridesmaid at her BFF Brittany Maack’s 2016 wedding, it wasn’t hard for her to steal the show. They both wore Reem Acra gowns and Taylor looked ravishing in her blush pink chiffon Maid of Honour number, that featured a hand-embroidered bodice.
VICTORIA BECKHAM
Victoria Beckham was Eva Longoria’s right-hand gal all the way through her lavish Mexico wedding. But she not only stood by friend Eva Longoria’s side throughout her fairytale nuptials, but even made her beautiful dress too!
RACHEL BILSON
This TV celebrity and former wife to Hayden Christensen found herself one of sixteen bridesmaids at a friend’s wedding. The bride was still the focus of the day, but we have to say that Rachel Bilson looks prettying amazing in her nude off the shoulder gown.
LADY GAGA
Lady Gaga participated in her lifelong best friend’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, and shy and retiring celebrity bridesmaid, we don’t know what are.
Supermodels Cassia Lara, Fernanda Motta, Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Jeisa Chiminazzo
When Brazilian cover girl Ana Beatriz Barros tied the knot, she transformed her celebrity wedding aisle to a catwalk, filling her bridal party with a slew of international supermodel bridesmaids. Cassia Lara, Fernanda Motta, Isabeli Fontana, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Jeisa Chiminazzo all paraded stunning blush bridesmaid gowns with high slits in the silky skirts.
SOFIA VERGARA
Before tying the knot with Magic Mike XXL star Joe Manganiello, the Modern Family star Sofia Vergara was 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.
RIHANNA
When the ultimate Bad Gal is your celebrity bridesmaid, BFF, and boss, you know you’re in for a good time on your wedding day. The superstar posted photos of her pal Jennifer Rosales’s Hawaiian wedding day online, which featured Rihanna 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.
JENNIFER LAWRENCE
Jennifer Lawrence is one of the biggest film stars on the planet, but on her brother Blaine’s wedding day she was not a celebrity, she was just another one of the bridesmaids in yellow. Her J.Crew dress wasn’t quite the Dior couture we’re used to seeing her in, but this heart-warming moment with her brother is the typical every-girl reaction we’ve come to expect from her.
