Celebrities may be used to taking centre stage when it comes to their careers, but the likes of Michelle Keegan, Dianne Buswell and Sofia Vergara have happily taken a backseat to act as supportive bridesmaids for their friends and family on their wedding days.
From Frankie Bridge's head-to-toe sequins to Emily Ratajkowski's leg-lengthening mini dress and Pippa Middleton's figure-skimming gown, look back at all the most stunning celeb bridesmaid dresses of all time.
Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande wore a very risque outfit for her brother Frankie Grande's Star Wars-themed wedding with partner Hale Leon on 4 May 2022.
The thank u, next hitmaker opted for a Vera Wang black bridesmaid co-ord, with the designer explaining on Twitter: "She chose a custom black lamé sculpted bra top and skirt with a high slit accent worn over a black lamé mini skirt." She wore her hair fastened in a half-up style with a large bow.
Michelle Keegan
Our Girl actress Michelle Keegan looked sensational in a slinky satin bridesmaid dress at her sister-in-law Jessica Wright's wedding back in September 2021.
The champagne-coloured gown, complete with an off-the-shoulder neckline, ruched waist and floor-length skirt, was from the Tripletta Bridal Couture collection, and she accessorised with Pandora jewellery.
Jess Wright
For her brother Joshua's wedding in Majorca in 2018, Jess Wright wore a pretty pink bridesmaid dress by ReneKCouture with a halterneck and fitted waist.
The reality TV star was pictured alongside her younger sister Natalya, who wore a matching bridesmaid frock, her brothers Mark and Josh, who looked dapper in blue suits, and Josh's new bride Hollie Kane as they stood in front of the beautiful scenery at the private estate, La Fortaleza.
Dianne Buswell
Strictly Come Dancing professional Amy Dowden's four bridesmaids, including Dianne Buswell, all wore different dresses. For the outdoor ceremony in Wales, the TV star wore a multiway pink floor-length gown, and she styled hers to feature a plunging neckline, thick straps and wrap waist.
Frankie Bridge
How gorgeous did Frankie Bridge look as maid of honour at her best friend's wedding? The mum-of-two wore a pale pink floor-length camisole dress, which was complemented perfectly by her all-white bouquet.
Frankie Bridge was also one of several bridesmaids wearing sparkling numbers at her friend Charlotte's nuptials in February 2022. She was pictured in a gorgeous embellished Club L gown with a high neckline and capped sleeves with a price tag of £120 – and the show-stopping dress also comes in black.
Holly Willoughby
Holly Willoughby was a bridesmaid at her sister Kelly’s wedding in 2010 and looked beautiful in a dove grey floor-length gown, which featured ruched detailing. With her hair worn down and smoky eye makeup it was a characteristically stylish look from the This Morning host.
Pippa Middleton
Pippa Middleton was almost at risk of upstaging the bride when she served as maid of honour at Prince William and Kate's royal wedding in April 2011. The Duchess of Cambridge's younger sister looked stunning in a white Alexander McQueen gown, which featured a cowl neckline and button back detail.
Sofia Vergara
With her model credentials, it is no doubt Sofia looked glowing when she stepped up to the role of bridesmaid for her friend Chi in 2015. She held a small posy of cream roses as she stood smiling in her bandeau yellow gown.

The Sinner actress Jessica Biel stepped out in a chocolate-coloured gown when she was bridesmaid at 7th Heaven co-star Beverley Mitchell's wedding in Italy in 2008.
Lydia Bright
Lydia Bright played a starring role in the wedding of her parents – Debbie and Dave – at the end of August, by acting as a bridesmaid alongside her sisters Georgia and Roma. The mum-to-be looked beautiful for the occasion in an £875 Needle & Thread metallic dress, embellished with sequins and created from antique lace. Sadly, it has already sold out online for fans hoping to recreate her breathtaking bridesmaid style.
Samantha Faiers
The Mummy Diaries star Sam was maid of honour at her sister Billie’s wedding in March. Given the exotic beachfront setting in the Maldives, the mum-of-two was dressed in a gorgeous ivory gown with a plunging neckline and figure-hugging silhouette. Later in the day, a shorter dress allowed Sam to dance away at the evening reception.
