Carrie Bradshaw had her pick from Dior to Oscar de la Renta for her Vogue photo shoot, so why did her wedding dress end up more reminiscent of Madonna’s conical bra?

But Mizuno stunned with her Disney princess look as Araminta Lee, as did Jennifer Lawrence in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Amanda Seyfried in Mamma Mia!

What’s an on-screen love story without a beautiful, blowout wedding to top it off?

Weddings are common scenes in all types of films, from romcoms to dramas. Besides being entertaining to watch, they also give us the chance to see our favourite Hollywood stars looking gorgeous in couture gowns. But while some actresses’ looks were stunning, others fell flat and left us feeling seriously underwhelmed.

Read on for STYLE’s round-up of the best and worst wedding dresses from films.

The worst

Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City: The Movie

A fashionista in her own right, and with a bevy of designer wedding dresses at her disposal, Carrie Bradshaw really should’ve done better in Sex and the City: The Movie.

Carrie gets to try on a variety of wedding dresses for her Vogue photo shoot, which includes designs by everyone from Vera Wang and Christian Lacroix to Oscar de la Renta and Dior.

She settles on a Vivienne Westwood gown, which at first glance seems like the perfect couture fit for the most stylish of the Sex and the City foursome, three of whom recently made their return to the screen in the reboot And Just Like That …

Unfortunately, the devil’s in the details. Bradshaw’s bodice doesn’t actually fit her body, and the effect is reminiscent of Madonna’s famous cone-shaped bra from the 90s. Plus the entire gown desperately needs to be pressed – from the back, it just looks like a hot mess.
