31 Times Celebrities Were Bridesmaids
A year before Meghan Markle met Prince Harry, she was a stunning bridesmaid in her friend's wedding.
While we love to see our favorite celebrities toast their own nuptials, even the famous are sometimes relegated to the bridal party. Here, we take a look at our favorite actresses, singers, and more as they celebrate weddings that aren't their own. (Spoiler: Even Lady Gaga had to wear a generic dress for the occasion.)
Meghan Markle
In August 2016, Markle posted two shots of her serving as a bridesmaid in a Lela Rose dress for her friend Lindsay Roth's wedding. "Thank you @lelarose for coming to the rescue 💕" Markle wrote. "The dress is dreamy #lindsgettingmarried #MOH@lindsayjillroth"
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen
The Olsens headed to the Southwood estate located on the east bank of the Hudson River to celebrate the wedding of their longtime friends Cassie Coanes. The dress code was florals, and the twins unsurprisingly wore vintage.
Emily Ratajkowski
Emily was a bridesmaid in her friend's wedding, captioning the shot of herself in her peach dress with a simple "Bridesmaids 💐".
Alessandra Ambrosio
Alessandra Ambrosio was a bridesmaid at her close friend Ana Beatriz Barros's wedding in Mykonos this July. Ambrosio enthusiastlically shared the love on Instagram with a message that went: "I'm so happy to be by your side at the most beautiful and loving time of your life!!! I wish you all the happiness in the world!! Cheers to the most beautiful bride EVER.
Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift was the maid of honor at her childhood friend Britany Maack's wedding in Pennsylvania on February 20, 2016. "I met her when I was 10 days old, and him in kindergarten," she wrote on Instagram. "Now they're married and I'm the happiest maid of honor ever. Congratulations @britmaack and Ben!" Swift wore a stunning blush Reem Acra gown as she celebrated her best friend's big day.
Emma Roberts
Emma was a bridesmaid in her friend Kara's wedding in November 2015.
Paris Hilton
Paris Hilton was a bridesmaid at her sister Nicky's wedding in London on July 10, 2015.
Sofia Vergara
Sofia Vergara was a bridemaid in buttercup yellow at her friend's wedding on June 27, 2015.
Rachel McAdams
Rachel was the beaming maid of honor at her little sister Kayleen's ceremony in Canada.
Eva Longoria
"Look who's here....@amaurynolasco with the bridesmaids! #Córdoba #Alina&Manuel #Family#Blessed," Eva captioned her Instagram. The actress posed with her fellow bridal party members in their mint dresses at close friend Alina Peralta's Spain wedding.
Rihanna
"Bridesmaids. #davis420wedding," @badgalriri captioned this Instagram snap on April 20th. The singer walked down the aisle in a lilac gown for assistant Jennifer Morales' Hawaiian nuptials.
Lady Gaga
We can't even imagine what kind of outfit is in store for her own upcoming nuptials to Taylor Kinney, but Gaga wore an understated lavender gown for her good friend's wedding in New Orleans on March 20.
Sarah Jessica Parker
SJP was on hand to help former Sex and the City assistant Melinda Relyea celebrate her nuptials in Greenwich in August.
Lady Gaga
We have to applaud Lady Gaga for looking unrecognizably normal as the maid of honor at her best friend's wedding last June. (One of her regular getups may have upstaged the bride, no?)
Cara Delevingne
The model of the moment was maid of honor to her sister Poppy, when the socialite and model married James Cook in May.
Jennifer Lawrence
Captured beautifully by Martha Stewart Weddings, J.Law was part of her brother Blaine's wedding party earlier this year.
Lauren Conrad
The newly engaged reality star-turned-businesswoman was part of Paper Crown partner Maura McManus' wedding in August, marking a Laguna Beach reunion of sorts: Lo Bosworth was also a bridesmaid.
Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen
The duo looked quite beachy at the Mexico nuptials of a friend in 2007.
Lottie Moss
In an appearance that arguably helped kick-start her newfound modeling career, Lottie Moss was a bridesmaid for big half-sis Kate's wedding to Jamie Hince in 2011.
Kate Bosworth
The actress wore black to her friend's Sydney wedding in 2008.
