Wedding Dress Inspirations: Red Carpet Edition

Nicole Kidman proves that all the things that were once ruled too 80's for the aisle - like ruffled mermaid skirts, silver sequins paired with sheer insets and puffed off-shoulder sleeves all work. The actress wowed as she ushered in some much needed maximalism to the Golden Globes red carpet with a runway look from Alexander McQueen's Spring 2017 Collection.

Emma Stone took celestial motifs to new heights and cheekily nodded to LaLa Land's "City of Stars" theme song at the 2017 Golden Globes in Valentino Haute Couture. The delicate pale ivories, nudes and metallics of her look were subtle against her pale complexion, and paved the way for her stellar Tiffany & Co. collar to complement the look without appearing overdone.

Hailee Steinfeld's custom Vera Wang look for the 2017 Golden Globes felt demure for the red carpet (and for her new rockstar persona) - but down the aisle, the pop of colour would feel undoubtedly fresh and fashion-forward. Good news is, this silhouette is straight from the designer's Fall 2017 bridal range.

Michelle Williams' Louis Vuitton off-the-shoulder ivory lace gown paired with a sweet black ribbon choker was equal parts daring and darling.

On the Golden Globes red carpet, Ruth Negga in custom Louis Vuitton proved that space-age silver is just as captivating as white, ivory or cream - and infinitely more edgy.

Kristin Wiig looked romantic yet modern in a mock neck, flutter sleeved look with a semi-sheer skirt that showed off her heels. The look suited the quirky starlet just as much as it would a more contemporary version of a beach bride.

Issa Rae's all-covered up Christian Siriano felt like a sleek, minimal take on red carpet glam - the same would apply for the bride who dared to wear something this clean and contemporary down the aisle.

Evan Rachel Wood looked smart and chic in a custom suit by Altuzarra for the Golden Globes red carpet. Brides who have no desire to wear white and don't feel like themselves in full skirts or feminine gowns should take notes - stick with perfect tailoring, strong shoulders and feminine details that separate your feminine tux from the boys'.

Perhaps bride-to-be Miranda Kerr is using the various red carpet appearances she has in her schedule to sample silhouettes of looks she's entertaining for the aisle? This strapless look by August Getty seems standard at first glance, but an open-back, draped bodice and thigh-high slit gives it an added dose of sex appeal.

Chrissy Teigen proved that on olive skin tones, gilded lace feels just as special as a soft pastel or soft ivory. An oversized peplum on her Marchesa look added drama, but still kept the look slim and sleek to easily highlight what made our jaws drop - her post-baby body.

Dakota Johnson looked radiant ina gold-toned satin Gucci gown at the 89th Annual Academy Awards. She paired the look with a vintage Cartier necklace (read: genius) and the subtle hue of her dress is just as wedding worthy as ivory. Fashion risk-takers take note: The look's high shoulders and draped waist keep this chic - and from skewing MOB.

Emma Stone's gold and alabaster drop waist gown with a tiered fringe skirt was historic in multiple ways - it was not only the gown she wore for her first Oscar win, but was also likely one (if not the last) of Riccardo Tisci's red carpet gowns for Givenchy before he takes on his new role at Versace. While this look was flawless on Stone for her career's biggest night to date, it would also be ideal for the aisle if you added a simple veil.

Rosamund Pike stepped out in Giambattista Valli haute Couture for the world premiere of 'A United Kingdom' at the Paris Theatre in New York City. rather than the leading lady requisite gown, Pike opted for a short and sweet Couture caped mini - a style note worth taking for brides looking to stand out without donning a ball gown for their moment in the limelight. To keep the look more elevated and less ingenue, the always chic actress styled the look with metallic Giuseppe Zanotti mules, a mussed knot and a soft berry lip.

Chrissy Teigen's Zuhair Murad gown on last night's red carpet was equal parts sexy and sophisticated, pairing a thigh-high slit with a watteau train and a waist-cinching belt. The mom and mogul's look would be ideal for a city wedding - be it in Miami, New York or an L.A. rooftop. A bride should accessorize this look exactly as Teigen did - bold earrings, box clutch, veil not necessary.

Naomie Harris's high-low hem was Raf Simon's first red carpet foray for Calvin Klein, and he succeeded in creating a look that was equal parts aisle-worthy, chic and sporty. Mimic the hemline for an easy transition from the ceremony to your after-party - and be sure to pair the look with shoes that are just as jaw-dropping, like Harris' mismatched bejeweled sandals.

Karlie Kloss looked sleek and statuesque on last night's red carpet, pairing a minimal Stella McCartney gown with a Nirav Modi diamond floral choker and earrings. Her look would perfectly suit the bride who considers herself more of a modern gallery girl than a hopeless romantic.

Nina Dobrev's semi-sheer look from Dior Spring 2017 for the 89th Oscars Vanity Fair party was the epitome of bridal badass. her styling of the gown with a slim gunmetal choker and a choppy bob was a perfect complement to the gown's sporty vibes.

Hailee Steinfeld looked ultra-elegant yet romantic and whimsical as a presenter at last night's Academy Awards. Her Ralph & Russo Couture gown's high neck, ruffled back and sheer inset skirt with metallic appliques was an age-appropriate choice for the starlet, but the cut of the gown and her sleek hair and smokey eyes gave this younger A-lister a sophisticated side.

Newcomer Sofia Boutella wowed on the carpet in a breathtaking Chanel Haute Couture gown from the latest runways. Her crystal-encrusted, feather-skirted mermaid silhouette would also wow down the aisle - and look just as good for a wedding paired with edgy Chanel Fine Jewelry ear cuffs she donned for the awards.

Nicole Kidman looked effortlessly long and lean in a sleek Armani Prive halter neck gown on the Oscars red carpet. Her decision to pair the champagne look with a bold red lip and ruby earrings by Harry Winston made the look her own (and paired well with her strawberry with blond locks).
