- Celebrities have worn white looks that resemble wedding gowns to award shows and movie premieres.
Sydney Sweeney looked the part of a young modern bride at the "Euphoria" season two premiere in January.
The "Euphoria" star was the epitome of Old Hollywood glamour with a twist for the season premiere. Sweeney wore a custom bright-white Miu Miu ensemble.
The silk duchess strapless crop top and column skirt had chunky crystal embellishments. It was styled with a body chain around her stomach, Messika jewelry, and white gloves.
Opera gloves are back in style, especially for brides. Nicola Peltz Beckham wore a lace pair to wed Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022.
For the February premiere of her movie "Marry Me," Jennifer Lopez wore an actual bridal minidress.
For the Los Angeles premiere, the star walked the red carpet in an actual wedding dress. She wore the Tulip dress from Giambattista Valli's first bridal gown line, The Love Collection.
She looked like a modern bride in her sweet lace long-sleeve minidress. She was also styled in glittering Jimmy Choo stilettos and a floral crystal clutch from Dolce & Gabbana.

Alexandra Daddario shimmered in a skin-baring champagne gown at the 2022 SAGs in February.
Daddario looked like a Grecian goddess in a sparkling champagne gown with a plunging neckline and high slit. Her custom Versace dress was both fitted and flowing, and had beautiful draping on the back that grazed the floor.
The "White Lotus" actress donned a bold red lip and wore dangling De Beers earrings with Christian Louboutin heels.
The SAGs continued with the trend of bridal-esque gowns, as seen by Amanda Brugel's cape dress.
"The Handmaid's Tale" actress had a stunning cape moment at the SAGs. Her Antonio Grimaldi gown was delicate and fluid with arm openings under covered shoulders and silver detailing along the neckline.
Brugel accessorized with matching crystal jewelry and a classic white clutch.
She was nominated with the rest of her cast for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series, but they lost to "Succession."
Piper Perabo had a unique tulle accent emerging from her sleek white gown.
In a bridal-worthy gown, the "Yellowstone" actress looked like she was having a ball in this Bazza Alzouman creation. The strapless cream dress was simple, apart from the unique tulle gathering that started at her hip and reached the ground.
Perabo was also wearing Fred Leighton and Kwiat jewelry.
She was nominated with her cast for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a drama series, losing to "Succession."
Looking ready for a decadent bachelorette party, Kelsey Asbille Chow wore metallic fabric with a lace trim.

She was also styled in David Yurman starburst earrings and strappy Jimmy Choo heels.
Lady Gaga stunned in a crystal bodice and pristine white gown at the SAGs.
The "House of Gucci" star looked like a classic Hollywood bombshell in an Armani Privé column gown. The bodice flipped down to reveal a crystal embroidered bustier. Gaga dazzled even more with her Tiffany & Co. diamond-wreath necklace, earrings, and ring.
Although she frequented many 2022 red carpets and press events in Gucci, she went for another Italian designer, Armani, at the SAGs to achieve "painful Italian glamour," according to Vogue France.
Gaga was nominated for outstanding performance by a female lead actor that night, but she lost to Jessica Chastain.
Meanwhile, Jennifer Hudson showed off a trendy wedding-dress color in a traditional silhouette.
The "Respect" actress was pretty in pink on the red carpet. She wore a custom Vera Wang trumpet-style dress with some ruching and voluminous chiffon floral accents on her shoulder and hip. She also accessorized with pink dangling earrings from Pomellato.
With blush pink having become a trendy choice for brides, Hudson's dress silhouette brings a traditional interpretation to the bridal-worthy gown.
Hudson was nominated for outstanding performance by a female lead actor, losing to Chastain.
Elle Fanning prompted others to "wear the pants" in this feminine tuxedo-like ensemble.
Fanning mixed bridal white with a black tuxedo for an elegant red-carpet look. The actress was in head-to-toe Gucci with a blush vest and sheer blouse (that appeared white under the light), a fluffy bow tie, a pink Cartier pendant, and high-waisted trousers embellished with crystals, which created a pinstripe effect.
She spoke to Laverne Cox on the red carpet and said, "I just didn't feel like wearing a dress!"
And on her Instagram, she plainly wrote, "wear the pants."
Fanning was nominated for outstanding performance by a female actor in a comedy series and outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series for "The Great," but she lost both.
Jaylen Barron looked like a playful bride in her feather-trimmed minidress at the Spirit Awards in early March.
For Barron's first time attending the Film Independent Spirit Awards, she showed off in an unconventional bridal dress option: a flirty minidress. The crystal and beaded turtleneck bodice and tiered feather skirt was a textural masterpiece courtesy of Sebastian Gunawan.
Along with a sleek ponytail, the "Blindspotting" actress was styled in simple heels and a metallic pill-shaped bag by Marzook.
For the Critics' Choice Awards in March, Kristen Stewart's fitted gown mimicked Princess Diana '90s style.
Stewart's slinky crystal embroidered gown was one of her best looks from the 2022 awards season. The champagne Dolce & Gabbana spaghetti-strap dress was complemented by simple Messika bracelets and Jimmy Choo pumps.

She was nominated for best actress that night, but she lost to Chastain.
Stewart also attended with her fiancée, Dylan Meyer, who wore a white satin crop-top suit.
Mandy Moore similarly looked like a bride in Elie Saab, but there was a more flowy, boho feel to her dress.
Elie Saab – known for its voluminous silhouettes, intricate details, and bridal gowns – provided Moore with a gorgeous gown from its recent haute couture runway. Fully encrusted in crystals and draped in tulle panels, the gown, along with the delicate makeup and hairdo, created an ethereal effect.
"I wanted to lean into something that felt romantic, but still had a lot of open space to show skin," Moore's stylist, Kevin Ericson, told InStyle.
The actress was also styled in Beladora jewelry and Jimmy Choo heels.
She presented onstage that night in the dress and was nominated with her cast for best drama series for "This Is Us," but lost to "Succession."
Maggie Gyllenhaal wore a one-shouldered sleek look for her red-carpet appearance.
Gyllenhaal stunned in a two-tone off-white gown by Chloe. It was custom designed by Gabriela Hearst and included unused deadstock silk crepe and nappa leather fabrics, according to Red Carpet Fashion Awards. The leather made up the bodice and bubble sleeve.
Gyllenhaal paired this with Maison Boucheron jewelry and black pumps to break up the white look.
She was nominated for best adapted screenplay for "The Lost Daughter," but lost to Jane Campion.
Serena Williams inspired in a metallic look that would look amazing on any bold bride.
Serena Williams has been gracing 2022 red carpets in stunning and bold looks. But this one was the most bridal-worthy. Her scoop-neckline gown was a beautiful custom Atelier Versace creation.
It was a "fine crystal mesh with a sculptural Duchesse train crafted from pearl-grey colored silk, and draped from the waist," according to Versace.
The dramatic train was the star of the look while the rest of Williams' accessories remained simple.
She attended the star-studded event with her sister, Venus, to support the cast of "King Richard" who were nominated for several awards.
Sandra Oh went for a "minimal" look at the Critics' Choice Awards.
Sandra Oh wore an effortless white gown from The Lafayette 148. The column dress had a plunging neckline and gold belt that added just enough flare to the simple design.
"For Sandra, we wanted to create something that was dramatic yet understated; minimal yet a standout," the brand's creative director, Emily Smith, told InStyle. "There is an inherent beauty and modern confidence that comes with architectural lines and clean, minimal design."
"The Chair" actress was nominated for best actress in a comedy series, but she lost to Jean Smart.
Sienna Miller packed a punch at the BAFTAs in March with a sultry ensemble.
The actress wore a standout silk gown with a plunging neckline and frilled hemline to the BAFTAs. The off-white Gucci look came from the Love Parade collection.

Blush and light-pink looks, like Lily James' Versace gown, ruled the Oscars red carpet.
James had one of the most enchanting looks of the night, and she led the trend of blush gowns at the 2022 Oscars. The "Pam and Tommy" star wore a chantilly lace and sheer chiffon Versace creation with a daring slit.
She paired the feminine gown with platform heels and stunning diamond jewelry from Piaget.
Inspired by the '50s and '60s, Caitriona Balfe attended in a white ruffled gown.
The "Belfast" actress wore a luxurious custom Louis Vuitton gown. A ruffled peplum that swirled around Balfe's body and created a train made for a "wow" moment. The crystal straps and Van Cleef & Arpels necklace added to the drama.
"The inspiration for tonight's look was 1950s and '60s Cristobal Balenciaga creations," Balfe told Vanity Fair. She added that the vintage jewelry was inspired by Grace Kelly.

From certain angles, the dress revealed a high-low hemline, which showed off Hall's pink metallic platform heels.
A loose updo perfectly complemented the romantic look.
For her Oscars debut, Alana Haim appeared in a dress with beaded scallops that looked like scales.

People compared her micro bangs and jewelry to Audrey Hepburn.

The "tea rose washed satin gown" had a plunging neckline and a grand train.
Buckley was nominated for best supporting actress, but she lost to Ariana DeBose.

On the Oscars red carpet earlier in the night, she wore a beautiful icy-blue gown with swirling details. And for her performance of "We Don't Talk About Bruno," she wore a dramatic yellow ruffled look.
While her Vanity Fair dress was the most subtle, it was also incredibly chic and elegant.
Maude Apatow let the back of her off-white gown speak for itself at the after-party.
The "Euphoria" star attended in a creamy, slender Yves Saint Laurent dress. The front was simple with a high gathered neckline.

The actress was also styled in Cartier earrings and rings.
Venus Williams channeled a rock 'n' roll bride in a Givenchy ensemble.
In keeping with her 2022 award show style, and under the care of celebrity stylist Law Roach, Williams wore another white look after wearing one earlier in the evening, too.
Her custom Givenchy ensemble had a corset-like peplum top and maxi skirt. The top's raw edges, which resembled feathers, and the skirt's thigh-high slit are details perfect for a rock 'n' roll bride.

Rae attended with her Grammy-nominated boyfriend, Omer Fedi.
Paris Hilton amped up the "naked dress" phenomena with intricate detailing worthy of a walk down the aisle.

Trinity K. Bonet looked regal in an Ariana Grande-approved gown.
Drag queen Trinity K. Bonet opted to recreate Ariana Grande's Giambattista Valli gown from the 2020 Grammys. This look, designed by Devon Williams, had a similar structured corset top and voluminous, tiered tulle skirt. Styled with opera gloves and Grande's famous high ponytail, Bonet looked immaculate.
The only difference seemed to be that Bonet's look had more of a lilac hue, which made it a possible contender for a dramatic wedding gown.
Grande even gave Bonet her stamp of approval. The singer wrote on Instagram, "Oh my goodness. Honored. You are perfect," as per Entertainment Weekly.
Mickey Guyton looked like a beautiful bride at April's CMT Music Awards.
The singer wore a second bridal-inspired look, again by Reem Acra, during the 2022 awards season. Guyton's mermaid-style gown looked pale pink or pale blue depending on lighting, but it shimmered no matter what. The intricate crystal detailing and embellishments amped up the glamour.
