It's an Even Bigger Day When These Celebrity Bridesmaids Are Walking Down the Aisle

Tis the season... to wear pastels and make out with a groomsman.

That's right, summer weddings are underway all around the Northern Hemisphere and our favorite action epic, Bridezilla, is once again playing at a venue near you.

True to form, bridesmaids have their work cut out for them as the big day approaches, from the several months' rent worth of travel, entertainment and wardrobe expenses to the 11th-hour calming of the nerves and smiling through all that standing. 

But while it's a tall ask for anybody, we've hearteningly found over the years that, when it comes to who says yes to the questionable dress, there is no day job too fancy to preclude occasional bridesmaid duty for one's nearest and dearest.

Everyone from Taylor Swift and Jessica Simpson (who knows the drill all too well) to Victoria Beckham and Sarah Jessica Parker have stood beside a bride on her big day, be it a celeb-studded affair or what would have been a low-key event if not for the mega-star in their midst.

The photos of such occasions don't always flow forth, it being someone else's wedding to plan as they please, after all—but lots of stars have been caught in the act of being a member of a bridal party.

Take a look at the many celebrity bridesmaids who've been spotted on the aisle:

The Tick, Tick...Boom! star was "so proud" to be Sarah Hyland's bridesmaid when the Modern Family actress wed Wells Adams in August 2022.

"You goddess, my sister witch, the ultimate bride," wrote Hudgens, who's engaged to baseball player Cole Tucker. "Words can't express how happy I am for you...Congratulations to sealing the deal with the love of your life. What a man. What a wedding. What a life."

The end result wasn't a fairy tale, but of course Swift was a bridesmaid when her longtime friend Abigail Anderson married Matt Lucier on Martha's Vineyard in September 2017. After their divorce was finalized, Anderson found a new lover in Charles Berard and married him in September 2022.
