8 of the best celebrity vintage wedding dress looks

Celebrities have piqued our interest in vintage fashion. Whether with the intention of going green or simply in the name of style, everyone who is anyone is championing throwback dressing on the red carpet (the BAFTAs 2020 even implemented a sustainable theme and asked guests to rewear old clothes), and we've noticed a recurring theme: wedding dresses. Though not always exclusively designed for a bride, the A-list has been giving us all the vintage wedding dress inspiration, while Lyst's 2020 wedding report shows that searches for vintage wedding dresses are up 38 per cent year on year. Here are our favourite celebrity looks.
