It has been the summer of the celebrity wedding, and honestly, we are not mad about it. From coastal Newport to a multi day affair spanning London and Sicily, the last few weeks have delivered a masterclass in bridal styling. Here is what caught our eye, and what every Bride should be pinning for her own mood board.

The Celebrity Weddings We're Screenshotting

Dua Lipa, in three acts

If any wedding proved that one dress is no longer enough, it is Dua Lipa's. She married Callum Turner across a run of celebrations, opening with a custom Schiaparelli Haute Couture suit for their civil ceremony in London, before changing into a feathered Bottega Veneta gown for a welcome party in Sicily, and finishing in a custom Chanel Haute Couture gown for the main event. The lesson for Brides planning multiple moments across their wedding, whether that is a rehearsal dinner, a ceremony and a reception, is that each outfit can say something different. Tailored and graphic for the legal bit, soft and feathered for the party, showstopping for the aisle.

Jordyn Woods, three looks in Malibu

Jordyn Woods married Karl-Anthony Towns in Malibu on the fifteenth of August, and Danielle Frankel dressed her for the whole day, not just the aisle. The ceremony gown was a strapless silk wool ball gown with a draped bodice, layering three shades of ivory lace for a look that read modern rather than traditional white. For the welcome party she changed into a silk satin slip dress with an asymmetric scarf drape, knotted at the strap and falling into a shawl train. Then for the reception, a third look: a strapless lace gown with a thigh high slit and ruched detailing at the hip. Three dresses, three moods, one designer. It is a quiet but very of the moment shift we are seeing across bridal right now, tonal layering instead of a single flat white, which adds depth to photographs without tipping into colour.

Brigette Pheloung, two weddings, two very different dresses

Acquired Style founder Brigette Pheloung actually had two ceremonies. The first was a civil ceremony back at Saint Joseph's University in Pennsylvania, where she met her now husband Mitch McHale nine years ago, in a dress she designed herself for her own label, phe phe: a hooded lace gown with a defined waist, open back and hand cut scalloped edges, replacing a veil entirely. The second, larger celebration in Newport saw her in a Vera Wang Haute gown, an off the shoulder ivory silk gazaar ballgown with hand finished floral detailing. One dress personal and self made, the other classic and clearly built to be photographed for decades. For Brides weighing up a smaller legal moment against a bigger celebration, this is the reference for treating both as equally worth dressing for.

Shay Sullivan, three dresses for one Italian wedding

Influencer Shay Sullivan married Casey Johnson at Castello Di Celsa, a thirteenth century villa outside Siena, and moved through three looks across the day: a Kim Kassas ceremony gown with silver bejewelled embellishments on the bodice, a separate look for the welcome party, and another change for the after party. The ceremony gown continues the lace and embellishment revival we have been tracking all year. It is proof that bridal does not need to be minimal to feel current, delicate, hand worked detail is having a real moment again, and that one dress rarely covers a whole wedding weekend anymore.

Tallulah Willis, four dresses and a family moment

Tallulah Willis married musician Justin Acee at her childhood family home in Hailey, Idaho, with her father Bruce Willis making a rare public appearance and her mother Demi Moore sharing the day online. Pierpaolo Piccioli's Balenciaga made her ceremony gown, a sculptural, Victorian inspired dress that took 712 hours to construct and borrowed a detail from a Balenciaga gown Demi Moore once wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, a lovely thread running from mother to daughter. For the rehearsal dinner she wore a vintage Chanel couture dress from 2003 with René Caovilla serpent strap heels. She also stepped out in a white midi Alaïa dress, and closed the night in a playful micro mini Vivienne Westwood with a dramatic bow veil for the after party. Four looks, four distinct moods, and easily the most fashion forward wedding wardrobe of the summer.

What it means for your own day

Taken together, these looks tell us a few things about where bridal is heading. Layered ivory tones over stark white. Two, three, even four outfit changes across a wedding weekend, each one earning its own moment rather than being an afterthought. A genuine return to hand finished, lace led romance alongside more structured, fashion forward tailoring for civil ceremonies and after parties. Whatever your own style, there is a thread here worth pulling on.
