There’s no denying that wedding season is in full swing (although, does it ever really end?). And if you’re not a bridesmaid this year (congrats, you can fully relax and enjoy the open bar), it’s time to scroll the internet for the perfect wedding guest dress – and who better to take inspo from than our favourite celebrities?
Whether it’s a sleek satin slip à la Sophie Turner or a floaty floral moment inspired by Taylor Swift, the celebrity style set is a wedding guest dress Pinterest board IRL.
First things first, understanding the dress code for the wedding is important (more on this later). You don’t want to be over-dressed, but more importantly, you don’t want to be underdressed. From formal black-tie weddings to more casual and fun destination weddings, finding the perfect wedding guest dress that you’re in *love* with is vital – after all, we are celebrating love…
No more “that’ll do” or “it could be worse” nonsense. With the endless celebrity outfit inspiration out there (and plenty of affordable dupes), looking and feeling like an A-lister is the bare minimum.
So, consider this your ultimate guide to saying “yes to the (celebrity-inspired) dress,” because lucky for you, we’ve rounded up the best wedding guest looks that are stylish, dress-code approved and surprisingly affordable.
The best celebrity wedding guest dresses
Sophie Turner’s yellow dress
Best for: An all-rounder
We’re all for channelling your inner Andie Anderson, and what better time to do so than at a wedding? We’re taking notes from the GoT actress who rocked a silky yellow dress to her friend’s wedding in July 2025. Complete with a silk or satin finish, this type of dress works for almost every wedding. Pair it with a white or beige heel to keep all eyes on the dress.

Kim Kardashian’s jersey dress
Best for: A cocktail wedding
A jersey dress is always a super comfortable wedding guest dress option thanks to its extra stretch and warmth, but they don’t have to look tacky! Kim K was glowing at Paris Hilton’s wedding in an all-black jersey number. A dark jersey dress can often pass as a formal option, but save your printed and shorter jersey dresses for a cocktail wedding.

Dazie One Shoulder Dress
$79.99

Forever New Mesh Midi $179.99
Kendall Jenner’s black dress
Best for: A black tie or formal wedding
Yes, wearing all-black might not be acceptable for all weddings, but if the dress code is black tie, you have our permission as dark colours are encouraged. Time and time again, Kendall Jenner has schooled us on what to wear to a wedding, but we’re loving her all-black look from the Bezos-Sanchez Wedding Ceremony. Chic!

Nicole Richie’s Sheer Dress
Best for: A destination wedding
Need something light and breezy for that soirée in Europe? We’ve got you. Nicole Richie sported a see-through olive green Alberta Ferretti dress for Sofia and Elliot Grainge’s wedding. This type of dress strikes the perfect balance of being sheer yet classy, making it a great choice for a less formal destination or beach wedding.
Lover Zuri Sheer Dress $280 $66
Ownley Lola Midi Dress$229 $171.75
Runaway The Label Meila Maxi
$226.91

Taylor Swift’s floral dress
Best for: A garden or farm wedding
Florals for a garden wedding? Groundbreaking. Regardless, Taylor Swift has dressing for other people’s weddings down to a fine art, and her go-to seems to be a midi dress with floral detailing. The most recent style to make headlines came on June 6 2025, when Mother (as T Swift’s fans call her) flaunted a powder blue dress with a dainty red floral pattern. Honestly, this whole look is *chef’s kiss*.
