Iconic Brides, Revisited

As Bridal Fashion Week kicks off, The Daily Beast celebrates iconic gowns—from Bianca Jagger’s revealing YSL tuxedo to Princess Diana’s 25-foot train.

The onset of spring signals wedding season; or, the time of year when brides to be abound. The biannual Bridal Fashion Week is currently taking place in New York, where designers like Carolina Herrera and Douglas Hannant are showcasing their latest aisle-ready ensembles.

So, in honor of the one occasion where sartorial frugality goes out the window and all eyes are on the bride, we’ve assembled a gallery of the most iconic wedding dresses past and present (head-to-toe white and pink haute couture included).
