We've pulled together an edit of the best and worst celebrity wedding guest attendee attire to inspire and help you avoid any mistakes. While some get it very right, others struggle to find an outfit that works.

Wow, Rihanna looked like a living, breathing princess for her assistant's, 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 & Ashton Kutcher, 2013
With Mila's white dress and Ashton's sharp, smart 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, our eyes deceived us as the two were actually attending the wedding of Mila's brother, Michael - who tied the knot with ballerina Alexandra Blacker in Florida.
Getty ImagesPippa Middleton, 2013
Pippa Middleton wore a black and white dress with peplum detail to the wedding of Lady Melissa Percy and Thomas van Straubenzee in Northumberland, but to be honest, we were far more distracted by her spike-adorned hat than the rest of her outfit.
Rex FeaturesKate Middleton, 2012

A heavily pregnant <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/biographies/fearne-cotton target=_new>Fearne Cotton</a> dressed her bump in a very flattering metallic shift as she arrived all smiles at the wedding of her pal James Corden.

FlynetJames Corden and Julia Carey, 2012
Hand in hand on the day before their own wedding, funnyman James Corden and his long-term partner Julia Carey joined the other celebrity guests to celebrate Dermot O’Leary tying the knot in the Kent countryside. But while, James looked dapper in his three-piece suit and Julia’s dress was sweet, it was when they walked up the aisle themselves that they really pulled it out of the fashion bag – <a href=https://beautysale.store/celebrity/celebrity-galleries/2009/07/08/celebrity-weddings#!image-number=2 target=_new>take a look here!</a>

PA PhotosNaomi Campbell, 2011
As a guest at the Monaco Royal Wedding, Naomi Campbell shone on the red carpet in this mint green asymmetric gown. Looking like the supermodel she is, this is a masterclass in how to do florals the modern way.
PA PhotosKate Middleton, 2011
Kate Middleton turned up to Zara Phillips' wedding to rugger star Mike Tindall with a hat in the shape of a massive pringle. Working another all-cream ensemble, we can't help but think that the normally impeccably turned-out Kate made a rare fashion misstep with this one.
PA PhotosPrincess Eugenie, 2011
Florals have long been a summer wedding staple, which is why we weren't surprised to see Princess Eugenie attempt the trend, with the help of Vivienne Westwood, at the Royal Wedding.
PA PhotosPrincess Beatrice, 2011
Princess Beatrice looked set to shrug off her frumpy image of old when she arrived as a newly-blossomed royal to her cousin, Prince William's, wedding. Dressed in head-to-toe nude Valentino, the young princess' ensemble could've been a fashion hit if it wasn't for that octopus-come-pretzel fascinator. It may have been made by milliner-to-the-stars, Philip Treacy, but that still didn't make it right.
PA PhotosVictoria Beckham, 2011
A heavily pregnant Victoria Beckham wore this shift-style dress from her own collection, which she teamed with a bespoke Philip Treacy fascinator and dark smoky eyes to the Royal Wedding. This look was almost a winner if only we could reconcile ourselves with those towering 14-inch Louboutin platforms... Swollen pregnancy feet? In those? Really?

Pippa Middleton became, arguably, the world's most famous bridesmaid when she stepped out at her sister's wedding in this custom-made Alexander McQueen dress.

In a departure from her well-hackneyed pastel coat and hat outfits, serial wedding guest, Kate Middleton teamed an all-black ensemble with a chic pillbox-style fascinator and velvet heels in January 2011.
PA PhotosKeira Knightley, 2011
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. Despite being the toast of Hollywood, Keira's understated little number made sure that her brother's bride was, quite rightly, the star at their wedding in Glasgow.
PA PhotosNatalie Imbruglia, 2010
Natalia Imbruglia set the bar at Lara Stone’s wedding to funny man David Walliams, when she aptly accessorised her oyster grey Grecian mini with comedian Alan Carr.
PA PhotosYasmin Le Bon, 2009
Pictured here at Patsy Kensit’s wedding to husband Jeremy Healy in 2009, former model Yasmin Le Bon and her 80’s popstar husband Simon Le Bon quite cut the dash. Dressed in full-length magenta jersey, Yasmin eschewed the obligatory silly hat and brought a bit of the Med to her look with a demure floral hairpiece.
Rex FeaturesKate Moss, 2009
Ever the consummate style guru, it was Kate Moss who nailed the little red dress look at an Italian wedding. Whilst seeing her friend get married in Umbria in 2009, Kate rocked a mini coral prom dress and black patent flats. With the straps slipping down over her shoulders, Moss miraculously nailed the wedding guest abroad sex pot look. We don’t know how she does it.
PA PhotosSkin from Skunk Anansie, 2009
Skin, lead singer of Brit band Skunk Anansie surprised us (not only by being there), when she rocked the ultimate LWD at Salma Hayek's star-studded nuptials. With trademark shaved head and metallic accessories, the 90s rock icon dispelled a million style myths in a matter of moments.
Rex FeaturesCharlize Theron, 2009
At Salma Hayek’s Italian nuptials in 2009, Charlize Theron also rocked a pearl grey frock. Accessorised with black tuxedo jacket and suitably apt Venetian mask, the Oscar-winning actress-come-Dior model was perfectly attired for a chic evening wedding.
Rex FeaturesPenelope Cruz, 2009
Penelope Cruz's ebony evening gown hit all the right notes when she wore it to Salma Hayek's bash. The sexy Senorita paired the classic look with loose curls, a single red rose and her mega-hot husband Javier Bardem.
Rex FeaturesKate Moss, 2009
Kate Moss' vintage dress with its leaf-print, gold embellishment and shoulder-detailing was the perfect sartorial note to strike at a society wedding in London in 2009.
Bigpicturesphoto.comGwyneth Paltrow, 2008
Gwyneth Paltrow turned the rulebook on its head, when she was spotted wearing a white minidress to Beyoncé and Jay-Z's wedding in 2008. Proving that white and micro-mini can be done, and can be wedding appropriate, the Iron Man actress also kick-started the long-bob (Lob) trend.
Getty ImagesRosie Huntington-Whiteley, 2008
When Leah Wood (daughter of Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood) got married at Southwark cathedral in the summer of 2008, it was wall-to-wall celebs. Among them was the bride's brother's then-girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Before she became a household name thanks to Victoria's Secret and Transformers, Rosie worked a winning wedding wardrobe in a nude silk gown with gold accessories.
Rex FeaturesKate Moss, 2008
Wearing a silver vintage halter dress teamed with a crushed blue velvet shawl, Kate Moss' effortless styling at Leah Wood's nuptials puts her up there as one of our favourite wedding guests, to date.
Bigpicturesphoto.comThe Olsens, 2007
When Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen were bridesmaids at a wedding in Mexico, their chic ivory maxi dresses, teamed with barefeet, beads and stacks of bangles were the epitome of bohemian luxe.
Rex FeaturesJessica Alba, 2007
Although we were a tad sceptical about black initially, we were converted when we spied Jessica Alba at the Parisian wedding of Eva Longoria. Working a scoop-necked gown with black heeled sandals, Jess' kept it chic with old-school Hollywood curls and simple diamond accessories. Jealous.com.
Getty ImagesBrooke Shields, 2006
Brooke Shields was just one of many famous faces who attended TomKat’s Italian nuptials and all eyes were on the gorgeous actress, when she appeared in a red dress. Notoriously hard to pull-off and despite her age-defying looks, Brooke let the team down with this rather mumsy burgundy velvet number. However, the former child star earned some serious style points with those chandelier diamonds, chic chignon up-do and fur stole.
Rex FeaturesKate Moss, 2006
Kate Moss proved weddings are more than fascinators and heels, when she turned up to Bobby Gillespie's ceremony in 2006. Britain's favourite supermodel rewrote the basic rules of wedding dressing, when she rocked up in a taupe short suit with matching fedora.
