Dua Lipa to Kourtney Kardashian: Celebs who ditched traditional wedding gowns

Updated On: 04 June, 2026 12:22 AM IST | Rachel Pereira

The pop star wed actor Callum Turner in a custom ivory Schiaparelli suit with gold-lined hat, giving us full Bianca Jagger in 1971 energy and the internet has not recovered. But Lipa is far from the first. For years celebrity brides have quietly and not so quietly ditching the white ballgown in favour of something far more them. The rules have been rewritten, one unconventional wedding outfit at a time and these are the women who did it the best
