People Editorial Guidelines Updated on June 12, 2024 03:21PM EDT Close Celebrities may have access to some of the finest couture on the planet, but when it comes to standing up for their friends at a wedding, they're wearing the same bridesmaid dresses as the rest of us. Look back at the matching gowns in lavender, blush and seafoam these celebrities sported to be there for their BFFs and siblings on their big days. 01 of 76 Nina Dobrev Jessica Szohr/Instagram Nina Dobrev wore a $2,790 Galia Lahav gown in sage green to serve as maid of honor in her pal Jessica Szohr's wedding to Brad Richardson (at left), then changed into sneakers for the afterparty. 02 of 76 Lily James Lily James/Instagram Lily James' sister Charlotte tied the knot in Tuscany, and Lily (far left) was on hand, along with the rest of her family, to stand up beside her sister in a champagne-colored satin gown. 03 of 76 Hunter King & Kelli King Hunter King For their sister Joey King's wedding to Steven Piet, Hunter King and Kelli King wore pale blue dresses that echoed the sea and sky of the Mallorca, Spain vista behind them. 04 of 76 Stella Maxwell Stella Maxwell/Instagram Barbara Palvin's friend, fellow model Stella Maxwell, stood up with Palvin's other bridesmaids in coordinated pastel shades, but when it came time for dancing and Palvin had changed into a party dress, Maxwell did the same in a black V-neck gown. "Celebrating a beautiful day with my beautiful friends," Maxwell wrote on Instagram. 05 of 76 Paris Hilton Lele Pons and her wedding party. Phraa Lele Pons enlisted a bevy of blue-clad bridesmaids (all in Pnina Tornai dresses), including pal Paris Hilton (far right), to stand beside her when she tied the knot with rapper Guaynaa at their Miami nuptials. Hilton shared some of her own happy snapshots with Pons, writing, "It was an honor to be your bridesmaid on your special day." 06 of 76 Vanessa Hudgens John and Joseph As one of four bridesmaids for pal Sarah Hyland, Hudgens (to Hyland's left) took her duties very seriously, including posting a tribute to her pal with photos from the big day: "You goddess, my sister witch, the ultimate bride. Words can't express how happy I am for you. I am so proud to be your friend and bridesmaid. I'll love you forever," she wrote. 07 of 76 Jasmine Tookes & Sara Sampaio lais ribeiro/instagram Lais Ribeiro was a bridesmaid in fellow former Victoria's Secret Angel Jasmine Tookes' wedding, and Tookes (third from left) returned the favor for Ribeiro's recent nuptials in Miami — in addition to former Angel Sara Sampaio (fourth from left) who served as bridesmaid in both. 08 of 76 The Giudice Sisters Teresa Giudice's daughters at her wedding. Milania Giudice/TikTok For Teresa Giudice's wedding to Luis Ruelas, her daughters Gia, 21; Gabriella, 17; Milania, 16, and Audriana, 12, donned fitted blush bridesmaid gowns all in slightly different styles. 09 of 76 Olivia Culpo Olivia Frances Culpo/Instagram The model played maid of honor for her friend Daria Valles, and filmed a cute TikTok ahead of the ceremony in which the two changed out of their getting-ready robes and into the bridal finery in a snap. 10 of 76 Miranda Cosgrove Miranda Cosgrove/Instagram The iCarly star was pretty in pink in the all-important role of maid of honor for a childhood friend's May 21 nuptials. "@Ninamunden moved in next door to me when I was seven and she got married to her high school sweetheart yesterday!" Cosgrove wrote alongside a backseat selfie with the bride, their rose bouquets on display. Though she's a professional actress, Cosgrove added that she had "never been more nervous or emotional giving a speech in my entire life" and that she "couldn't be happier" for her bestie. 11 of 76 Kristen Bell laura moses collins/instagram Bell was a beaming bridesmaid for the April 9 wedding of her pal Laura Moses, smiling as she walked down the aisle in a plunging pink gown with cutouts and fringe skirt. Her husband Dax Shepard also was part of the wedding party, serving as officiant for the vows between Moses and her husband Matthew Collins. In a snippet of official videography posted by the bride to Instagram, The Good Place alum and Armchair Expert podcast host, who have been married since 2013, tore up the dance floor together after their respective wedding party duties were complete. 12 of 76 Ariana Grande Priya Shukla/Instagram Who says bridesmaids dresses can't be sexy? Ariana Grande wore a custom, two-piece Vera Wang set to older brother Frankie's Star Wars-themed wedding to Hale Leon. The outfit included a daring cutout bralette top and a matching maxi skirt with a revealing high slit. She completed the look with a black bow, which she tied around her half updo, and a dainty pair of heart studs. The singer's mother, Joan Grande, officiated the ceremony at the Grande family home in Boca Raton, Florida on May 4. 13 of 76 Bryce Dallas Howard brycedhoward/Instagram Bryce (in seafoam lace with a flower crown) wasn't the only member of the Howard family standing up to support sister Paige at her New York wedding; dad Ron also officiated the big day. 14 of 76 Zoey Deutch zoey deutch/ instagram Technically, the actress was an officiant and not a bridesmaid at pal Hadley Walsh's wedding, but since she got all decked out in puffy-sleeve chartreuse for the occasion we're going to count this one as "in the wedding party." 15 of 76 Anya Taylor-Joy Ivy Love Getty, Tobias Alexander Engel and wedding party. Jose Villa The Queen's Gambit star (center) was maid of honor at pal Ivy Getty's lavish San Francisco wedding, wearing a custom gray silk John Galliano for Maison Martin Margiela Haute Couture gown. 16 of 76 Rachael Ray Kerri Lynne Photography Celebrity chef Rachael Ray was a first-time bridesmaid at the wedding of fellow Food Network star Anne Burrell.

Among the 'maids were Lais Ribeiro, Shanina Shaik, Kelsey Merritt, Sara Sampaio and Josephine Skriver. 19 of 76 Karlie Kloss Karlie Kloss/Instagram Something blue!

Petsch and the other bridesmaids (pictured getting ready in matching robes) wore orange cowlneck slip dresses, and the actress read "To Love Is Not to Possess," by James Kavanagh during the ceremony. 21 of 76 Lady Gaga Lady Gaga/Instagram Celebrities often spend so much time in the makeup chair that they become close friends with their glam squad members, and that's definitely the case with Lady Gaga and her pro, Sarah Tanno. The Global Artistry Director for Marc Jacobs Beauty and Haus Laboratories co-founder got married in Mexico this weekend, and her celebrity bridesmaid wore a pretty pink Jonathan Simkhai slip dress with matching pink hair. Gaga wrote on Instagram, "Two of my best friends just got married. Time to party!" 22 of 76 VANESSA HUDGENS & ASHLEY TISDALE Ashley Tisdale/Instagram High School Musical I Do!

(Hough split from husband Brooks Laich in 2020.) 28 of 76 TRACEE ELLIS ROSS Tracee Ellis Ross/Instagram Tracee served as a bridesmaid in her brother Ross Arne Naess' wedding (and so did sister-in-law Ashlee Simpson!) wearing a simple white slip dress and wreath crown. And yes, she had permission to wear the bridal color, as all the ladies who participated in the nuptials wore that hue, including her mom Diana Ross. 29 of 76 MARGOT ROBBIE Backgrid Just five months after saying "I do" at her own nuptials, the actress walked down the aisle again!

And Maloney told PeopleStyle the key to finding a style all the "picky b---s" would agree upon was making sure it "was pretty but not over the top or with a ton of sequins or sparkles." (Katie and her husband Tom Schwartz split in 2022.) 31 of 76 RACHEL BILSON Rachel Bilson/Instagram Rachel wore a pale mauve off-the-shoulder mermaid gown, an ethereal golden crown and a buckled wool cape to be #alwaysabridemaid for Hart of Dixie costumer Gelareh Khalioun. 32 of 76 JOJO FLETCHER Source: Jordan Rodgers/Instagram The Bachelor winner (pictured with then-fiancé Jordan Rodgers) walked down the aisle - as a bridesmaid, don't get too excited! - in a rented pale apricot Watters gown from VowtoBeChic.com. 33 of 76 ARIANA MADIX Nicole Weingart/Established California/Bravo Media Vanderpump Rules star Scheana Marie's wedding may not have been enduring (she and her husband split two years later), but the peach gowns worn by her 'maids, including costar Ariana, third from left, will stand the test of time. 34 of 76 XOSHA ROQUEMORE STUDIO 1208 The Mindy Project star and mom-to-be (center) got to pick her own dress for actress pal Molly Tarlov's wedding - but she and Molly's other BFFs prepped for the big day in matching floral robes from Love Ophelia. 35 of 76 GEORGIA MAY & ELIZABETH JAGGER Beretta/Sims/REX/Shutterstock Jerry Hall's daughters with Mick Jagger wore elegantly draped pale blue Vivienne Westwood gowns to stand up for their mom's wedding to Rupert Murdoch. 36 of 76 MIRANDA KERR Source: Miranda Kerr/Instagram The bride-to-be wore a white dress and wreath of flowers to serve as a bridesmaid for her younger brother Matthew's big day - perfect for the relaxed outdoor ceremony, which took place in Hunter Valley, Australia. 37 of 76 EMMA SLATER, LINDSAY ARNOLD, BRITTANY CHERRY AND JENNA JOHNSON When Witney Carson chose her bridesmaids, she also guaranteed the dancefloor would be lit.

So deep, in fact, that Nikki Ferrell had three of the former stars in her bridal party! When Ferrell wed Tyler VanLoo in October 2016, fellow reality stars Kelly Travis, Christy Hansen and Andi Dorfman stood by her side as baby pink gown-clad bridesmaids. 39 of 76 TIFFANY TRUMP Source Instagram Donald Trump's daughter, Tiffany, spent a picturesque "Saturday down south" serving as her a bridesmaid for aunt (mom Marla Maples' sister) in a gorgeous petal pink gown with a side pony, accentuated with a jeweled headband. 40 of 76 TAYLOR SWIFT There are quite a few perks to having Taylor as your Maid of Honor, as her childhood friend Britany Maack found out. Not only do you get an incredibly heartfelt speech, but you also get an impromptu wedding singer, someone to call in a custom gown for you (they're both in Reem Acra) and someone to bring a Vogue reporter along to document the whole day. 41 of 76 VICTORIA BECKHAM Source: Victoria Beckham/Instagram Another star doing triple duty at her best friend's wedding?

A flowy, powder-blue custom Dennis Basso gown that coordinated with mom Kathy's mother of the bride dress. 45 of 76 AMY SCHUMER Amy Schumer/Instagram High praise from the queen of comedy: Amy dubbed her bud's wedding "the best ever" (and happily wore the strapless chiffon number that went with). 46 of 76 SOFIA VERGARA Courtesy Sofia Vergara Sofia executed all her bridesmaid duties perfectly, from smiling big in identical buttercup yellow gowns to 'gramming the cake-cutting moment to actually eating the cake to bringing the hottest date. (Wait a minute, is that last one a bridesmaid duty?) 47 of 76 RACHEL MCADAMS FameFlynet She's all smiles here in her cornflower-blue halter, golden stilettos and freshly-blonde bob, but the actress spent much of her sister Kayleen's Muskoka, Canada ceremony wiping away tears with a tissue. 48 of 76 NICKY & PARIS HILTON Courtesy Paris Hilton You never thought it would be tough to spot the Hilton sisters in a crowd, but in this "ready to partayyy" pink-clad coterie of 'maids, they blend in big time! 49 of 76 FERGIE MiamiPIXX/VEM/FameFlynet A winter wedding in May?
