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.

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.

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!

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*.
