8 celebrities who rewore their wedding dresses: from British royal Camilla Parker Bowles to Keira Knightley – who donned her Chanel gown again for a Baftas party
- Kate Middleton isn’t the only British royal who likes to recycle clothes – the Duchess of Cornwall rewore her civil ceremony dress two years later
- Kate Bosworth wowed at the 2018 Met Gala in her Oscar de la Renta dress, while Alex Borstein wore her silver number to receive her Emmy award
With the world becoming more mindful of sustainability, it’s somewhat in vogue for celebrities to recycle their red carpet looks instead of going for one-and-done ensembles. But some A-listers are taking it a step further and even rewearing their wedding dresses!
So who are the stars who decided they didn’t just want to wear their bridal gown down the aisle, but at other shindigs too?
Camilla Parker Bowles
Camilla Parker Bowles rewore her civil ceremony dress two years after she and Prince Charles tied the knot.
Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall officially got married in a civil ceremony at Windsor Guildhall after their years-long relationship. Parker Bowles wore a short Robinson Valentine dress with scalloped trim to the ceremony, Hello reported.
The duchess wore the dress again to the National Assembly of Wales, according to the outlet, showing that Kate Middleton isn’t the only member of the royal family who likes to recycle clothes.
Keira Knightley
Her wedding wasn’t the first time Keira Knightley wore her Chanel wedding dress. Knightley has been photographed wearing the short gown, which featured a tulle skirt, on three occasions.
She first wore the dress to a pre-Baftas party in 2008, and she then rewore it for her 2013 wedding to James Righton, as Marie Claire reported.
Knightley wore the dress again to the 2013 SeriousFun Gala.
Alex Borstein
Alex Borstein was wearing her short-sleeve, silver wedding dress when she took home two Emmys in 2018. Borstein originally wore the silver dress to marry actor Jackson Douglas in 1999.
The couple divorced in 2014, but Borstein brought out the dress almost 20 years after she first wore it for the 2018 Emmys, where she won outstanding supporting actress for her performance in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
“The marriage didn’t last but the dress did, and I wanted to give it new life, so now it’s my Emmys dress,” she told Glamour on the red carpet.
Troian Bellisario
Pretty Little Liars star Troian Bellisario wore part of her wedding dress – the skirt of her Cortana gown – to the Amazon Studios Golden Globes after-party in 2020.
She originally wore the skirt with a three-quarter length top and veil. At the after-party, she paired the tulle skirt with a pink top, creating a red-carpet-worthy look.
Kate Bosworth
Kate Bosworth stunned in a replica of her wedding dress at the 2018 Met Gala.
Bosworth married Michael Polish in 2013 wearing a white, strapless Oscar de la Renta dress with a coordinating veil, according to Martha Stewart Weddings.
At the 2018 “Heavenly Bodies” Met Gala, Bosworth worked with de la Renta again, who created a gold version of her wedding look, complete with a dramatic veil and 4.8-metre (16-foot train), as Vogue reported.

Gwen Stefani also wore a replica of her wedding dress from 2002 in 2017. When Stefani and Rossdale tied the knot in 2002, she wore a white-and-pink ombré gown from Christian Dior.
While promoting her 2017 Christmas album, “You Make It Feel Like Christmas”, Stefani wore another white-and-pink ombré gown, as The Observer reported. Designed by Christian Siriano, the dress was originally intended to be part of Siriano’s collection made for Kleinfeld Bridal.
Stefani later wore two dresses to marry Blake Shelton in 2021.
Busy Philipps
Busy Philipps brought out her wedding dress for an episode of her talk show, Busy Tonight.
Philipps married Marc Silverstein in 2007 at a surprise wedding wearing a white gown with a black belt, as People reported.
Philipps rewore the dress while filming an episode of her talk show in 2019, where she reunited with her co-stars from Made of Honor, per People.
As she said on the show, the dress still fit her aside from being a bit tighter on her rib cage, which she said grew after she had children.
Liberty Ross
Liberty Ross wore a form-fitting silk wedding dress to the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party and her rehearsal lunch for her wedding in 2016.
After divorcing Rupert Sanders following his affair with Kristen Stewart, the Snow White and the Huntsman actress tied the knot again with Jimmy Iovine over Valentine’s Day weekend in 2016, as Glamour reported.
She wore a black dress to the actual wedding and a slinky Givenchy gown with a halter neckline to their rehearsal dinner the day before.
Ross rocked the gown just a few months later at the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscars after-party.
