Fashion's biggest night out, better known as the Met Gala, has successfully come to a close; and as with previous years, our favorite celebs made a splash on the famous Met steps. Co-chaired by Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Regina King, and Lin-Manuel Miranda (including honorary co-chairs Anna Wintour, Tom Ford, and Adam Mosser), the 2022 Met Gala was unlike any other, as wedding fashion clearly stole the show.
Adhering to the theme, “In America: An Anthology of Fashion," A-listers fully embraced their most regal interpretations of the "Gilded Glamour" dress code and channeled their inner brides—sporting some of the most gorgeous wedding-inspired gowns and accessories. It's safe to say that the Met Gala brought the aisle to the red carpet, and we can expect many brides-to-be to follow the trends set by these fashion-forward looks.
So, eager to know which celebs took a chance on bridal this year? Ahead, keep scrolling to see the top 10 bridal fashion trends from the 2022 Met Gala red carpet.
Feathered Dresses
From Marchesa to Monique Lhuillier and Oscar De La Renta, feathers have been a huge bridalwear trend over the past several seasons. Brides who subscribe to more bold aesthetics should take a cue from Eiza González and Emma Stone, and incorporate this fun trend into their wedding day ensembles.

Regal Tiaras
Tiaras are the best way to show that you're the belle of the ball, so why not wear one for your special day! Both Anna Wintour and Emma Chamberlain wore this royal, but bridal, accessory on the Met Gala red carpet.

Blue Hues
If the Spring 2023 Bridal Fashion Week collections taught us anything, it's that blue gowns will increasingly become popular in the upcoming years. If you're a bride that's searching for a more non-traditional look, follow Imaan Hammam and Quannah Chasinghorse's lead, and opt for an ethereal, flowy blue gown.

Allover Sequins
You can never go wrong with sparkles, especially when it comes to your wedding day! We absolutely love Kim Kardashian and Phoebe Bridgers's all-over sequined looks, which are equal parts sexy and chic. What's more, each gown is reminiscent of designs you can purchase from bridal designers like Berta, Galia Lahav, and Mira Zwillinger.

Cascading Ruffles
Go big or go home: a theme for both Kylie Jenner and Tessa Thompson. A forever bridal trend, these A-listers brought ruffles to the red carpet, and we're confident we'll see brides mimic these gorgeous gowns down the aisle.

Corset Bodices
This boudoir-inspired silhouette has become a bridalwear staple, with many designers regularly incorporating corsets into their wedding gowns. Both Billie Eilish and Paloma Elsesser looked stunning in their bridal adjacent corsetry on the Met steps.

Beautiful Ballgowns
Weddings and ballgowns have easily become synonymous, and this silhouette will only continue to become popular as the years continue. If you're on the hunt for your dream gown, you can literally emulate Miranda Kerr and Caroline Trentini's Met Gala gowns, as they both wore bridal designers on the red carpet.

Mini Hemlines
We absolutely love fun and flirty mini dresses, and it's a trend that's now become a bridal fashion favorite. Sydney Sweeney and Winnie Harlow's white ensembles would be perfect for many receptions or after-parties.

Embellished Gloves
Embellished gloves were a huge trend at the Spring 2023 bridal collections, and we were more than excited to see various interpretations on the Met steps. For those who envision donning this standout accessory, Jasmine Tookes and Karlie Kloss are the perfect celebs to follow.

Slinky Slip Dresses
Last, but not least, the slip dress made several appearances at the Met, but we could not get over Hailey Bieber and Olivia Rodrigo's bridal-esque looks. Whether you're a minimalist bride or someone searching for a sexy gown, slip dresses are versatile enough for every bridal style and budget!
