25 celebrity bridesmaids who stole the show (sorry, brides!)
It must be hard having a celebrity as your bridesmaid – you don't want to be overshadowed on your big day now, do you? And, tbh, if you're someone's best pal, you don't want to do that either. Taylor Swift, Cara Delevingne and Rachel Bilson all nailed it – without stealing the show.
We chart the best in celebrity bridesmaids...
MEGAKirsten Dunst
Kirsten Dunst walked down the aisle at her best friend Cindy McGee's wedding to John Manieri in Italy. The actress wore a gorgeous blush tulle gown that seemed like the perfect fit for her own vintage engagement ring – yep, that's right, Kirsten will soon be walking down the aisle to actor Jesse Plemons at her own ceremony.

Here comes the bride, and one of the most talked about artists in the world right now – her bridesmaid. That's right, Taylor Swift made her first appearance since the release of her new single, 'Look What You Made Me Do', at her best friend's wedding. Taylor was wearing a long draped maroon gown with matching lipstick, as she supported Abigail Anderson on her big day. A video of her raunchy bridesmaid's speech leaked online and it showed the bride and groom laughing hysterically – good job Taylor!
BackgridLauren Conrad
Six weeks after giving birth to a baby boy, named Liam, Lauren Conrad looked absolutely stunning at her best friend's wedding. The bridesmaids were all dressed in dresses from Lauren's own line, Paper Crown. It's very handy if you have a friend with their own range.

Of course the Olsen twins look incredible as bridesmaids. Don't pretend like you're surprised. The bride (Gomelsky's creative director Cassie Coane), her multicoloured squad of bridesmaids and both Mary-Kate and Ashley are looking super cool. Mary-Kate (far right) donned a metallic gold kimono-esque dress which she teamed with a pair of emerald green Balenciaga mules, and Ashley (centre, next to the bride) wore black, proving that this pair don't play it safe – even at weddings.

The pair met when Gelareh designed costumes on Rachel's 2011 show Hart of Dixie, and she captioned the pic: "My beautiful baby bunns is married. I love you @gegelspot to the moon and back". The wedding took place at the Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Susana, California.

She does sterling bridesmaid work does this woman. How gorgeous does Taylor Swift look as maid of honour for her best friend, Britany Maack.

Wow, Rihanna looked like a living, breathing princess for her assistant Jennifer Morales' wedding in Hawaii. The pair are very close friends along with Melissa Forde (RiRi's home girl), who was also a bridesmaid. In fact, if you check Rihanna's Instagram the trio are rarely seen apart. After seeing Rihanna in lilac, we think she should rep the wedding look more often...

Splash NewsMila Kunis
With Mila Kunis's white dress and Ashton Kutcher's sharp suit you can forgive us for initially thinking at first glance that this was a snap of the two Hollywood lovebirds tying the knot themselves. However, the pair were actually attending the wedding of Mila's brother, Michael, who tied the knot with ballerina Alexandra Blacker in Florida. Mila was bridesmaid for the big day.

Proving berry shades don't have to be solely the sartorial territory of grannies and little girls, Keira Knightley's mulberry bridesmaid dress ticked all the right boxes. Keira's understated little number made sure that her brother's bride was, quite rightly, the star at their wedding in Glasgow.
Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel wore a chocolate bridesmaid dress to a friend’s wedding in Italy in 2008. Oh, and Justin Timberlake was there too, which is always nice.
