The Most Expensive Celebrity Wedding Dresses Of All Time

Over a million couples get married in the United States every year. Some of those unions go on to last forever, while others crumble in a matter of years. Although many of them are between your average citizens, there are some celebrity weddings in the mix that are as show-stopping as you'd expect.

With more money to spend, these stars often go all out to make a splash on their big day. That includes asking designers to make some of the most expensive wedding dresses in the world. Some of these outfits cost over seven figures, and you can tell.

Priyanka Chopra had two weddings to Nick Jonas, which meant two stunning dresses

• Price: $2 million
• Designer: Ralph Lauren

For Priyanka Chopra, her wedding truly was an event. After all, she ended up having two ceremonies when she tied the knot with Nick Jonas. This was to reflect their respective faiths, with Priyanka rocking two different but equally stunning looks for the ceremonies. The first of these was reportedly designed by Ralph Lauren and allegedly cost $2 million.

This outfit wasn't quick to make, requiring 1,826 hours of work. We can see why, given it was hand beaded with 2.4 million sequins and 11,000 Swarovski crystals. The dress she wore to her Indian ceremony reportedly took even longer to make at 3,720 hours. It featured silk floss, French knots, and hand-cut organza flowers.

Kate Middleton spared no expense when she joined the Royal Family by marrying Prince William 

• Price: $545,000
• Designer: Sarah Burton

All eyes were on the British Royal Family when Prince William and Kate Middleton tied the knot in 2011. As the future heir to the throne, who William married was a big deal, and it seems people felt he chose well in Kate. She certainly looked suitably royal on their big day in her Sarah Burton-designed dress.

One of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses in the world, it allegedly cost $545,000 to make. The Royal Family is known for having money, though, so they probably didn't think twice about the eye-watering cost. Plus, the outfit was worth every penny. It was an elegant look with lace sleeves and a long dress that looked picture perfect.

Ariana Grande opted for something subtle but expensive when she married Dalton Gomez

• Price: $100,000 - $150,000
• Designer: Vera Wang

Over the last decade, Ariana Grande has experienced stratospheric success. With each new album, she becomes an even bigger pop star, and with all that fame comes a lot of money. That's how Ariana was able to reportedly spend somewhere between $100,000 and $150,000 on the Vera Wang dress she wore to her wedding.

Unlike some celebrities, Ariana didn't draw a lot of attention to her wedding before it happened. The outfit seemed to reflect that, being a more subtle look that still stands out as a beautiful outfit. It featured a low scooped back, corseted bodice, and split in the leg, which gave a lot of Audrey Hepburn vibes on the special day.

Princess Diana was all extravagance when she married Prince Charles in the 1980s

• Price: $208,620
• Designer: David and Elizabeth Emanuel

While William and Kate's wedding might be one of the biggest royal weddings in recent history, it didn't generate quite as much attention as Prince Charles and Diana's ceremony. When these two tied the knot in the 1980s, there was reportedly a global audience of 750 million people. That meant a lot of eyes on Diana’s $208,620 dress.

Designed by David and Elizabeth Emanuel, the dress was an extravagant affair with a 25-foot train and a 153-yard tulle veil. The latter alone was apparently worth $34,750, so it's no wonder this is one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses in the world. No expense was spared for the woman supposed to be the next queen consort.

Elizabeth Taylor's first of eight wedding dresses was easily one of the most expensive

• Price: $187,931
• Designer: Helen Rose

If anyone knows a thing or two about getting married, it's Elizabeth Taylor. She walked down the aisle eight times and looked stunning every time she did it. Her first attempt at being a married woman was with Nicky Hilton, and she apparently wore a $187,931 outfit for the ceremony. Helen Rose was the woman behind it.

Elizabeth apparently didn't have to pay for this dress herself because MGM Studios reportedly funded the look. It allegedly required months of work from over a dozen people, but the final outfit was well worth the effort. Although Taylor would go on to wear many other wedding dresses, this would always be one of her most expensive celebrity wedding dresses.

Victoria Beckham wore one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses when she married David Beckham 

• Price: $100,000
• Designer: Vera Wang

Victoria Beckham has always had a clear eye for fashion. However, when she married David Beckham in the 1990s, she wasn't as well-known for that as she is now. Fortunately, she proved to the world that she's got taste like no other when she enlisted Vera Wang to put together the satin ball gown Victoria wore for her big day.

The outfit reportedly cost $100,000, easily making it one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses around. As a member of the world's biggest girl group at the time, money probably wasn't that much of an issue. So, Victoria could go all out on the dress and the diamond and gold tiara that she paired with it.

Salma Hayek married a billionaire and made the most of it with her wedding dress 

• Price: $434,000
• Designer: Nicholas Ghesquiere

Salma Hayek is someone who could walk down the aisle in a trash bag and still look stunning on her wedding day. Thankfully, she didn't have to do that when she tied the knot with Francois-Henri Pinault in 2009. Instead, Salma opted for an elegant dress designed by Nicolas Ghesquiere to the tune of $434,000.

Given Pinault's standing as a billionaire, he probably didn't think twice about the price tag. No matter how much Salma wanted to spend on her outfit, he was likely willing to pay whatever would make her happy. That's how she ended up in one of the most expensive wedding dresses in history, which included a detailed bodice and voluminous skirt.

Jessica Biel was a vision in pink when she married Justin Timberlake a decade ago 

• Price: $100,000
• Designer: Giambattista Valli

It's nearly been ten years since pop superstar Justin Timberlake and actress Jessica Biel tied the knot. Plenty of celebrity couples have never made it this far in a marriage, so the couple should be proud they've managed to make things work. It also means that all the money spent on Biel's wedding dress was well worth it.

The actress reportedly put around $100,000 into the outfit, which Giambattista Valli was responsible for making. Unlike most brides, Jessica didn't want to look a vision in white on her big day, so she asked the designer to create something in pink. She ended up with a gorgeous ruffled gown that stood out for all the right reasons.

Grace Kelly transitioned from actress to princess in a stunning and expensive dress 

• Price: $60,000
• Designer: Helen Rose

Grace Kelly led quite an enviable life. After making waves as an Academy Award-winning actress, she ditched the glitz and glamor of Hollywood to marry a prince in Monaco. She tied the knot with Prince Rainier III in 1956, wearing a dress designed by Helen Rose. The look was quite a pricey one, given it allegedly cost $60,000.

It's safe to say that the outfit was worth the cost, though, given it featured a three-foot train, included thousands of hand-sewn pearls and was embellished with plenty of lace. Grace definitely looked the part of a future princess that day. That gown will always be remembered as a timeless classic and one of the most expensive wedding dresses around.

Sophie Turner's second wedding saw her go for elegance and glamor as she married Joe Jonas 

• Price: $10,000 - $50,000
• Designer: Louis Vuitton

Multiple weddings seem to be a thing with the Jonas Brothers. When Joe and Sophie Turner tied the knot, they also had two ceremonies. However, one was far more glamorous than the other. That's the one that the couple had in the South of France, which followed the more casual ceremony they enjoyed in Las Vegas.

For her big day, Turner turned to Louis Vuitton to construct a dress that featured lace sleeves, an embellished flower-embroidered tulle skirt, and a classic veil. It reportedly took 350 hours to make and cost somewhere between $10,000 and $50,000. After her success in the fantasy drama series 'Game of Thrones,' though, money probably didn't matter much.

Rose Leslie married her co-star in a lace number that sparkled white on her special day

• Price: $20,000
• Designer: Elie Saab

Sophie Turner isn't the only 'Game of Thrones' alumni to tie the knot in recent years. In 2018, co-stars Kit Harington and Rose Leslie got married after falling in love while filming the show. They made their vows in Scotland, where Rose showed up in a beautiful designer gown by Elie Saab. It apparently cost $20,000 to make.

There was a lot to love about this outfit, which included intricate embroidery across a trumpet silhouette. Rose chose to have an open back and a boat neckline with the outfit, which were partially hidden behind the yards of veil. The look was completed with a flower crown that truly emphasized the beauty of the bride on her big day.

Kate Upton wore several dresses on her wedding day, including an expensive gown by Valentino

• Price: $177,000
• Designer: Valentino

Kate Upton is a woman of many talents. Over the years, she's made a name for herself in various fields, including modeling and acting. Perhaps that's why she chose to wear several dresses when she married Justin Verlander, all of which were the definition of beauty. It's hard to pick a favorite, although the Valentino number is a real standout.

This is the gown that she wore to the actual ceremony and apparently cost up to $177,000. Upton allegedly chose Valentino to make the dress because she considered the fashion house to be "the best" with things like "delicate lace and details." She also reportedly wanted the look to be "authentic" as she was tying the knot in Tuscany.

Kim Kardashian reportedly spent half a million dollars on her dress alone when she married Kanye West

• Price: $500,000
• Designer: Riccardo Tisci

Say what you will about how Kim Kardashian has made her money, but there's no denying that she's rolling in it. If she wasn't, she probably would have struggled to score herself a wedding dress reportedly worth $500,000. That's allegedly how much the outfit cost that Kim wore when she tied the knot with rapper Kanye West.

Riccardo Tisci was responsible for what has become one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses in the world. The dress was perfectly designed to fit Kim's body and featured embellished lace sleeves and a faux-exposed back. Kardashian was absolutely a vision in this outfit. Unfortunately, while this outfit will stand the test of time, her marriage didn't.

Nicky Hilton was a vision in intricate lace during her wedding to James Rothschild

• Price: $77,000
• Designer: Valentino

The Hilton family hasn't had to worry about money for years. Thanks to the success of their hotel chain, they're able to weather any financial storm and continue to splash the cash. So, it was maybe no surprise when Nicky Hilton stepped out in one of the world's most expensive wedding dresses during her 2015 wedding to James Rothschild.

Hilton reportedly sunk $77,000 into the lace dress that Valentino designed. One of the most intricate celebrity wedding dresses we've ever seen, Nicky definitely looked expensive when she walked down the aisle. With a cathedral-length veil and "three different tones of ivory and silver guipure," we would have guessed that this outfit actually cost more than $77,000.

Poppy Delevingne emerged from her sister's shadow in her expensive designer wedding gown

• Price: $50,000 - $100,000
• Designer: Chanel

She might be the older sister of Cara Delevingne, but Poppy has had to work hard to establish herself away from her sister's shadow. Fortunately, she has been successful in that, especially after she walked down the aisle to James Cook in a breathtaking Chanel number. It was an outfit she apparently spared no expense for.

With an estimated cost anywhere between $50,000 and $100,000, this look is easily one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses around. The intricate beading, floral details, and cap sleeves all work to make it a highly compelling look. Plus, it was easy to turn into a minidress at the reception by simply removing the sheer underlay.

Lady Kitty Spencer used being a spokesmodel to her advantage when she got married

• Price: $40,000
• Designer: Dolce & Gabbana

When Princess Diana married Prince Charles, she brought greater attention to the Spencer family. That includes Lady Kitty Spencer, who's been making a splash as a spokesmodel for brands like Bulgari and Dolce and Gabbana. While she might not be as famous as her late aunt, Kitty proved on her wedding day that she certainly has royal taste.

Lady Kitty reportedly made use of her Dolce and Gabbana connections by enlisting the company to design her wedding outfits. Yes, plural. She apparently had five different dresses for her special day, including a Victorian-inspired lace gown that allegedly cost $40,000. If all her looks cost that much, then Kitty must have spent a fortune on her wedding day.

Chanel Iman worked the aisle like a catwalk in her exquisite and expensive wedding dress 

• Price: $9,000 - $20,000
• Designer: Zuhair Murad

Being a supermodel, Chanel Iman knows how to make any outfit work for her. Whether it looks good or not, she has the talent to make people fawn over it. Luckily, she didn't have to work hard at all to make everyone fall in love with the gown she wore when she tied the knot with Sterling Shepard in 2018.

Chanel apparently worked with Zuhair Murad on the outfit, which made sense. She's reportedly worn plenty of Murad's work before, so she knew she could trust the designer. It's unclear precisely how much she spent on the look, which apparently took over 100 hours to construct. However, it's believed to be somewhere between $9,000 and $20,000.

Christina Aguilera's wedding dress was a wonderful blend of sleek and OTT elements

• Price: $30,000
• Designer: Christian Lacroix

Fans are wondering if Christina Aguilera and Matthew Rutler will ever tie the knot, given they've been engaged for almost a decade. It's possible that the singer is scared to jump into another marriage, given her first one didn't go as planned. She tied the knot with Jordan Bratman in 2005, a union that ended in divorce six years later.

Fortunately, while the marriage might not have lasted, at least Aguilera made a big impression in her Christian Lacroix wedding gown. It was an outfit of two halves, with the dress very slimming and subtle up top and a bundle of ruffles at the bottom. It reportedly cost $30,000 - a small contribution to the alleged $2 million ceremony.

Mariah Carey had on one of the world's most expensive wedding dresses when she married Tommy Mottola

• Price: $25,000
• Designer: Vera Wang

Some pop stars love to go all out when they tie the knot. Mariah Carey certainly wanted to make a big impression when she got married for the first time. The singer became Tommy Mottola's wife in 1993, and her wedding gown was definitely a thing of extravagance. It ought to be, given she supposedly spent $25,000 on it.

Vera Wang was behind the look, making Mariah yet another celebrity to look to the designer for suitable wedding attire. Vera was allegedly influenced by Princess Diana's wedding dress when she put this look together, and we can definitely see the inspiration. Mariah could have easily been at a royal wedding when she walked down the aisle.

Marie-Chantal Miller joined the Greek Royal Family in one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses

• Price: $225,000
• Designer: Valentino

The British Royal Family is the most famous of its kind in the world. However, there are monarchies in other parts of the world, too. Although Greece technically abolished theirs in 1973, it does still have a royal family, which Marie-Chantal Miller became a part of in 1995. She did so in one of the world's most expensive wedding dresses.

Valentino, who's proven popular with plenty of celebrities on their wedding day, was once again enlisted for this job to the tune of $225,000. That's more than some of the biggest stars in the world spent on their dresses, which is why Miller is worth talking about. Her sophisticated vintage-inspired gown is simply too expensive to overlook.

Catherine Zeta-Jones spared no expense to look a vision when she married Michael Douglas 

• Price: $140,000
• Designer: Christian Lacroix

Michael Douglas had many women eager to become his wife before the turn of the century. Unfortunately for them, he only had his eyes on one woman: Catherine Zeta-Jones. The Hollywood pair tied the knot in 2000 in a ceremony that looked the definition of elegance. That's certainly the impression we got from the pictures they shared, anyway.

Catherine enlisted Christian Lacroix to make her look a vision in white on this special day. She evidently made the right call, given all eyes were on her at the wedding. It was money well spent, which is good given the dress was apparently worth a whopping $140,000. Garments this stunning really don't come cheap.

Julianne Hough included a costume change on her wedding day in 2017

• Price: $20,000
• Designer: Marchesa

It's apparently not uncommon for celebrity brides to wear multiple outfits on their big day. Julianne Hough is another star who opted for a costume change when she tied the knot with Brooks Laich in 2017. She apparently relied on Marchesa for both of the looks and was involved in the process of bringing them to life.

The dress that Julianne wore for the actual ceremony was reportedly $20,000 and featured a drop-waist with a full skirt and sweetheart neckline. She opted for something more daring after the nuptials, wearing an embroidered bodysuit with a flowing tulle skirt. This was detachable for when she wanted to showcase the dancing skills she's known for.

Paris Hilton wore six dresses across her wedding weekend and looked stunning in all of them

• Price: $25,000
• Designer: Oscar de la Renta

It finally happened. After several engagements that unfortunately went nowhere, Paris Hilton now has a ring on her finger. Nicky's older sister tied the knot with Carter Reum in 2021, and she made sure that the wait to get married was worthwhile. That's why she planned to wear ten dresses throughout the three-day wedding celebration.

In the end, Paris stripped it back to six outfits, each one being as breathtaking as the last. The one she actually wore to walk down the aisle was custom-made by Oscar de la Renta and allegedly cost upward of $25,000. Paris said that she wanted something "timeless, elegant, chic, and iconic," and we'd say she got it.

Ronda Rousey showed another side to herself in her expensive wedding dress

• Price: $13,000
• Designer: Galia Lahav

We're not used to seeing Ronda Rousey looking dolled up and glamorous, thanks to her day job as a WWE wrestler. However, when the professional athlete tied the knot with Travis Browne in 2017, she showed another side to herself. It's one that took people's breaths away as they appreciated how soft and feminine she looked in her wedding dress.

Galia Lahav was responsible for this transformation, which apparently fit Ronda perfectly the first time she tried it on. Rousey allegedly went through several dresses before finding the one for her, which supposedly cost $13,000 to make. Even though it was one of the most expensive wedding dresses out there, Ronda hopefully felt the money was worth it.

Alexandra Lenas reportedly had a $4.5 million ceremony, complete with an expensive gown

• Price: $30,000
• Designer: Elie Saab Haute Couture

Someone who definitely doesn't have to worry about money is Sean Parker. Not only has he co-founded the likes of Napster and Airtime, but he's also the first president of Facebook. With that in mind, Alexandra Lenas probably didn't have to stress too much about the cost when it came to choosing her dress for their wedding.

She ultimately went with a gown by Elie Saab Haute Couture which made her look a million bucks. In actuality, it only cost $30,000. Although that still makes it one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses, it was pretty cheap compared to the rest of the ceremony. The couple allegedly spent $4.5 million on the big day.

Jessica Simpson decided to avoid white in her custom-made gown for her second wedding

• Price: $30,000
• Designer: Caroline Herrera

Once someone's walked down the aisle once, they might choose to tone things down on their second go. Not Jessica Simpson, though. Although her marriage to Nick Lachey didn't go as planned, she didn't let that get in the way of her nuptials with Eric Johnson. That was certainly the case with her wedding dress anyway.

Jessica opted for a $30,000 gown which Caroline Herrera helped bring together. The outfit was custom-made to look "chic," "ethereal," and "romantic" on the singer's special day. The intricate embroidery and decision not to wear white ensured the look stood out, which is what it deserved as one of the world's most expensive celebrity wedding dresses.

Tori Spelling's wedding reportedly cost $1 million and included one of the most expensive wedding dresses

• Price: $50,000
• Designer: Badgley Mischka

Tori Spelling is someone else who knows a thing or two about getting married twice. However, when she tied the knot with Charlie Shanian in 2004, she probably didn't imagine that she'd ever walk down the aisle more than once. So, Tori seemingly put her all into making their wedding suitably lavish, apparently to the tune of $1 million.

$50,000 of that was reportedly devoted to the flapper-esque dress which Badgley Mischka designed. When you consider that all the embroidering and beadwork was apparently hand-sewn, the price makes a lot of sense. Hundreds of hours probably went into making this garment, which some publications referred to as "dreamy." They weren't wrong because Tori was an absolute vision.

Nicole Johnson wanted to avoid a "traditional" dress when she married Michael Phelps 

• Price: $10,000
• Designer: Julie Vino

There aren't many Olympians who can even come close to Michael Phelps. He's the most decorated athlete at the games and has also won more golds than anyone else. So, all eyes were on him and Nicole Johnson when the pair got married in 2016. Luckily, the duo didn't disappoint, especially Nicole in her Julie Vino dress.

According to the designer, Johnson wanted to avoid something "traditional" for her outfit, which is how she ended up with a form-fitting deep-v neck dress. With French lace cap sleeves, a silk chiffon skirt, and a five-foot train, she definitely didn't look like every other bride. Nicole got all that for $10,000, which actually seems quite reasonable.

Geri Halliwell waited years to find Mr. Right, but it paid off in the end

• Price: $36.500
• Designer: Phillippa Levy

Unlike some of her Spice Girls bandmates, Geri Halliwell wasn't quick to find 'the one.' It wasn't until 2015 that she tied the knot, doing so with Christian Horner in a gorgeous Phillipa Levy dress. The singer appeared worlds away from the young woman who'd made waves in a Union Jack dress several decades earlier.

Geri apparently worked with the designer on the outfit, which reportedly cost $36,500. That definitely makes it one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses, although we wouldn't expect any less from the singer. Being in the Spice Girls definitely did great things for her bank account, which continues to earn royalties year after year.

Emmy Rossum worked with her designer to create a masterpiece for her wedding day

• Price: $15,000
• Designer: Caroline Herrera

When it comes to wedding dresses, celebrities are pretty spoiled for choice. There are so many designers and fashion houses that either specialize in these outfits or know how to pull them off that it can be hard to choose. However, Emmy Rossum apparently had no difficulty deciding who to go with. She reportedly wanted Caroline Herrera from the get-go.

Fortunately, the actress got precisely what she wished for. The designer came through for Rossum, although it seems the outfit was a team effort. Herrera reportedly trusted that Emmy knew what she was talking about and claimed she was a "joy to work with." It seems the actress got her money's worth with this $15,000 piece.

Anne Hathaway opted for an intimate ceremony when she tied the knot in 2012

• Price: $10,000 - $50,000
• Designer: Valentino

Anne Hathaway is no stranger to being the center of attention, given the immense success she's had in Hollywood. However, when the actress got married in 2012, she wasn't looking to have the eyes of the world on her. Instead, she wanted a very intimate ceremony, with Hathaway reportedly only inviting close family and friends to the special day.

While we don't know what the wedding itself was like, we do know that Valentino was responsible for the dress. He apparently was more than happy to design the outfit because Anne is apparently like a "daughter" to him. As for the cost, no one is 100% certain on that, as estimates range between $10,000 and $50,000.

Allison Williams apparently wanted a "horses and ranches" aesthetic for her 2015 wedding and dress

• Price: $14,000
• Designer: Oscar de la Renta

Actress Allison Williams apparently had a clear aesthetic for her wedding to Ricky Van Veen. She was seemingly going for a "horses and ranches" vibe, which is reportedly why she turned to Oscar de la Renta to design her dress. One of the designers at the fashion house, Peter Copping, apparently had experience with this aesthetic from his childhood.

Copping evidently came through for the actress, as Harper's Bazaar called her look one of the "most beautiful celeb dresses" in a while. It was certainly one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses, reportedly costing as much as $14,000. That seems like a steal given how stunning Williams looked in this long-sleeved lace number.

Nicole Kidman apparently wasn't frugal when she walked down the aisle for a second time

• Price: $20,000
• Designer: Balenciaga

When Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise got married in 1990, their union was a big deal. After all, they were two big names in Hollywood. However, their relationship ultimately fell apart, leaving fans wondering if Kidman would ever marry again. She did, tying the knot with Keith Urban in a dress people still think about to this day.

Nicole seemingly wanted something simple and elegant for her second time down the aisle, and she found that with this Balenciaga creation. Having married once before, she might have considered buying a dress on the more affordable side. However, given this outfit was apparently worth $20,000, Nicole evidently decided she wanted one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses.

Gabrielle Union's wedding dress was cheaper than some but still incredibly expensive

• Price: $8,900
• Designer: Dennis Basso

The Met Gala is one of the biggest events in a celebrity's social calendar. Stars spend a lot of money trying to stand out on the red carpet here. However, when Gabrielle Union was invited to the event in 2014, this seemingly wasn't the biggest thing on her mind. After all, she went wedding dress shopping just hours before it.

She ultimately bought two outfits for the big day, one of which was a Dennis Basso gown reportedly worth $8,900. With a four-figure price tag, it's technically cheaper than some of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses out there. However, given that the average bride apparently spent $2,439 on a dress in 2020, it's still pretty expensive.

Idina Menzel knew exactly who she wanted to design her wedding dress

• Price: $15,000
• Designer: Caroline Herrera

Caroline Herrera is definitely a designer in demand. It seems that quite a few celebrities ask for her help when it comes to making the perfect wedding dress. Idina Menzel was one of them. When she tied the knot with Aaron Lohr in 2017, It was Herrera who she turned to for her off-the-shoulder lace dress.

The outfit allegedly didn't come cheap, given it's reportedly worth $15,000. However, as one of Broadway's biggest stars and a voice actress in one of Disney's most successful movies, we don't think money was an issue for Idina. Thankfully, the price was worth paying because Menzel looked like a dream come true on her big day.

Sofia Vergara's expensive dress reportedly required 1,657 hours to put together  

• Price: $15,000 - $20,000
• Designer: Zuhair Murad

Sofia Vergara wasn't looking to hold back when it came to her big day. The actress walked down the aisle in a dress taken from Zuhair Murad's Fall 2016 bridal collection, which reportedly took 1,657 hours to put together. That's a lot of time to spend on an outfit, although it makes sense when you look at the garment.

Apparently, the dress - which has an estimated value between $15,000 and $20,000 - contains 350 crystals, 11 pounds of sequins, and 6.6 pounds of pearls. Putting all of that on one outfit was bound to take time, even with 32 people working on it. Fortunately, that effort was worthwhile because Sofia looked beyond stunning on her special day.

Céline Dion went for extravagance in her expensive wedding dress, complete with a giant crystal tiara

• Price: $25,000
• Designer: Mirella and Steve Gentile

You might expect the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses to be very extravagant affairs. However, most of them are quite sleek numbers. Thankfully, there are some dresses on this list that follow the idea that bigger is better, and Céline Dion's is one of them. She really said size does matter when she tied the knot with René Angélil.

A thousand hours reportedly went into her gown, which allegedly featured 90 yards of silk and lace. Overall, it apparently cost $25,000 to make, some of which will have come from the pearls that were hand-sewn onto the dress. Mirella and Steve Gentile were responsible for the look, which also featured a seven-pound tiara boasting thousands of crystals.

Nikki Reed steered clear of the vampire fantasy in her wedding to Ian Somerhalder

• Price: $10,000 - $20,000
• Designer: Claire Pettibone

Vampires generally come to mind when people think of Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder. After all, she was in the 'Twilight' series of fantasy romance films, while he was in the supernatural drama 'The Vampire Diaries.' However, there was nothing dark or vampiric about their 2015 wedding, where the pair glowed in their white ensembles.

Nikki wore a custom gown by Claire Pettibone for the special occasion, which featured a high neckline and three-quarter sleeves. Working with the designer was apparently a walk in the park, with Pettibone admitting that the two of them had a “great rapport." The end result was a stunning bridal gown reportedly worth somewhere between $10,000 and $20,000.

Katie Holmes wore one of the world's most expensive celebrity wedding dresses to a $3 million ceremony

• Price: $50,000
• Designer: Armani

Tom Cruise doesn't seem to have the best luck when it comes to marriage. After his relationship with Nicole Kidman fell apart, he moved on to Katie Holmes, making some very public displays of his affection. The two ultimately wed in 2006, and although their marriage fell apart by 2012, the ceremony is still remembered for being suitably lavish.

Holmes showed up on the big day in one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses we've seen. The Armani gown reportedly had a $50,000 price tag, which makes sense given how much was supposedly spent on the wedding. A cool $3 million was allegedly pumped into the ceremony, which Tom likely hoped would be his last.

Diana Ross was a vision in lace with a highly expensive veil to match on her second wedding day

• Price: $19,000 - $25,000
• Designer: Unknown

As part of The Supremes, Diana Ross achieved immense success. However, she didn't have to share the spotlight with anyone other than her husband when the singer tied the knot in 1985. Arne Naess, Jr. was Diana's second husband, and she was hopeful their union would last longer than her first. It did, although it unfortunately still ended in divorce.

No one was thinking about the couple parting ways on that special day, though. Not with Ross looking like a lace fantasy in her dress. The outfit reportedly cost between $19,000 and $25,000, $12,000 of which apparently came from the Belgian lace veil. Unfortunately, no one seems to know who designed this spectacular garment for Diana.

Portia de Rossi opted for a pink tulle gown for her quiet wedding to Ellen DeGeneres

• Price: $5,000 - $10,000
• Designer: Zac Posen

When Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi got married, there was a possibility of having two of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses in one ceremony. However, the talk show host opted for a tuxedo-inspired top with a skirt, leaving Portia the only one to wear a dress on their special day. Fortunately, she really came through with her look.

The Zac Posen gown featured a lot of pink tulle, helping it deviate from the usual white dress you get at weddings. It was custom-made and apparently set Portia back somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000. Not many people actually got to see it in person because the couple opted for a quiet ceremony, despite initially having grand plans.

Madonna's worn two very different wedding dresses, but both were allegedly worth the same

• Price: $80,000
• Designer: Marlene Stewart / Stella McCartney

Before Lady Gaga blew people's minds with her eccentric outfits, Madonna was the one people looked to for eccentric and groundbreaking fashion. Throughout her iconic career, she's developed a reputation for wearing out-of-the-box looks. While most of those have been on stage or in music videos, she's also showcased some at her weddings over the years.

Madonna's been married twice in her life, and both times she's allegedly worn dresses worth $80,000. When Madonna married Sean Penn, she reportedly did so in a Marlene Stewart gown that showcased a very punk look. Several decades later, she looked a little more traditional when Madonna tied the knot with Guy Ritchie in a Stella McCartney piece.

Gwen Stefani rocked an ombré lock when she tied the knot with Gavin Rossdale

• Price: $15,000
• Designer: John Galliano

Gwen Stefani is someone else who's always loved to stand out with her look, especially during the early days of her career. So, it's perhaps no surprise that when she married Gavin Rossdale in 2002, she wore a dress that was very unique in its design. We can't say we've seen many brides rocking the ombré style on their gowns.

John Galliano was responsible for this interesting take on a wedding dress. He worked with Christian Dior at the time and proved why he was worthy of being linked to such an established brand. Not only did he create one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses - it allegedly cost $15,000 - but also one of the most unique.

Camilla Parker Bowles had a lot to live up to when she married Prince Charles in 2005

• Price: $100,000 - $200,000
• Designer: Antonia Robinson and Anna Valentine

When Prince Charles and Diana got married in the '80s, it was quite possibly the wedding of the century. So, after the couple divorced and he decided to marry Camilla Parker Bowles, there was no way their ceremony would match up. However, while it might not have been as grand an event, it still had its notable moments.

That included Camilla's outfit, which was apparently designed by Antonia Robinson and Anna Valentine. They reportedly wanted a "crisp, clean look" with "subtle detail," and they absolutely pulled it off. Estimates for the price range vary significantly between $100,000 and $200,000. Either way, though, it's easily one of the most expensive wedding dresses ever made.

Pippa Middleton tried to stand apart from her big sister on her wedding day

• Price: $52,000
• Designer: Giles Deacon

She might not officially be part of the monarchy, but as Kate Middleton's sister, Pippa is basically an honorary royal. She certainly looked the part of a princess when she tied the knot with James Matthews in 2017. After she made a splash as the maid of honor at Kate's wedding, people were eager to see what Pippa would wear.

We'd say that Pippa didn't disappoint in her Giles Deacon ensemble. The lacey number bore some resemblance to what Kate wore on her big day. However, it was different enough to stand out as its own thing. It also wasn't as expensive as Kate's outfit either. Still, at a reported $52,000, the garment was hardly cheap.

Whitney Houston's wedding gown was a four-piece ensemble that sold well at auction

• Price: $40,000
• Designer: Marc Bouwer

We're not entirely sure how much Whitney Houston paid for her wedding dress when she married Bobby Brown in 1992. However, we do know that when the outfit was auctioned, it ultimately sold for $40,000. That gives you a good idea of its worth, and it's possible the garment was actually more expensive when it was made.

The outfit certainly looks like a million bucks, especially on the singer. It was designed by Marc Bouwer and was apparently made up of four different pieces. These were an ivory satin gown, matching sleeves, a floor-length veil, and a beaded cloche hat. All of them came together to form a masterpiece on what was a joyous day for Houston.

Liza Minelli didn't hold back on her 2002 wedding dress, despite it being her fourth marriage

• Price: $40,000
• Designer: Bob Mackie

Liza Minelli definitely isn't a stranger to weddings. She's been involved with four of them, the latest of which was in 2002. That's when she married David Gest in what was undoubtedly a star-studded affair. Although she was an old hand at weddings by that point, Liza still put everything into finding the perfect dress for the occasion.

Bob Mackie was the man she apparently turned to, and he created a gorgeous off-the-shoulder piece. Complete with a boned bodice, tulle overlay, and all sorts of stunning embellishments, Liza looked like a dream. His work was reportedly worth $40,000, which makes sense as there were plenty of pearls used to make the outfit really sparkle.

Queen Letizia broke the bank in her gold embroidered gown when she married into the Spanish Royal Family 

• Price: $8 million
• Designer: manuel Pertegaz

The Royals outside of the British monarchy might not be as well known, but we can't overlook Queen Letizia of Spain when talking about the most expensive wedding dresses in the world. After all, her outfit was allegedly worth an insane $8 million when she tied the knot with King Felipe in 2004 in a stunning Manuel Pertegaz gown.

Letizia was the one marrying into the Royal Family, so the thought of wearing something worth $8 million was probably hard for her to comprehend. Apparently, the extravagant price stemmed from the fact that the dress was embroidered with genuine gold. Even without that, though, the royal still would have looked a fitting queen when she walked down the aisle.

Kim Zolciak had several outfit changes during her wedding to the tune of thousands of dollars

• Price: $58,000
• Designer: Leanne Marshall

We can always count on the women from the 'Real Housewives' franchise to go all out, especially when it comes to a wedding. Thankfully, Kim Zolciak didn't disappoint when she tied the knot in 2011, especially as she wore three outfits throughout the day. The most notable of these was the $58,000 Leanne Marshall gown she got married in.

Although the garment was reportedly quite pricey, Kim didn't actually pay that much for it. That's because she bought it off a pre-owned website, so she likely saved herself a few bucks. Kim followed this stunning look with two Pnina Tornai looks, which apparently cost $18,000 and $16,000, respectively. One was a mermaid gown, the other a jumpsuit.

Princess Eugenie made her mark as a royal in one of the world's most expensive wedding dresses

• Price: $135,000
• Designer: Christopher De Vos and Peter Pilotto

As 12th in line to the throne, it's unlikely we'll ever see Princess Eugenie become queen. However, while she might not be as prominent in the public eye as her cousins, she still plays a vital role in the monarchy. That means that when Eugenie got married, it was essential that she did what she could to impress.

We'd say she achieved that goal with her gown alone, which allegedly cost $135,000. One of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses around, it made Eugenie the epitome of glamor on her big day. Christopher De Vos and Peter Pilotto were apparently the geniuses behind this look, which was reportedly designed to intentionally show off the princess' scoliosis scar.

Hailey Baldwin stunned in a lace embroidered gown for her big day

• Price: $130,000
• Designer: Virgil Abloh

In 2018, Hailey Baldwin did what so many women had been dreaming of for years and married Justin Bieber. The singer's standing as a heartthrob meant there was a lot of pressure to prove she was the right fit to be his wife. Fortunately, people's concerns were swiftly pushed aside when they saw Hailey in her wedding gown.

Hailey apparently opted for three dresses throughout the day, the standout of these being the Virgil Abloh gown she rocked during the actual ceremony. It cost a pretty penny at $130,000, easily making it one of the most expensive celebrity wedding dresses. With all that intricate lace embroidery, though, it looked like it cost even more.

Meghan Markle wore a suitably expensive gown during her much-anticipated wedding to Prince Harry

• Price: $147,000
• Designer: Claire Waight Keller

To say that Meghan Markle faced immense expectations on her second wedding day is an understatement. After Prince William and Kate Middleton's extravagant ceremony, people believed that Harry and his future wife had big shoes to fill. They expected the couple to match or exceed everything William and Kate had done, which included Meghan's wedding dress.

The American actress ultimately looked to Givenchy designer Clare Waight Keller to create something that would appeal to millions of people. Although the dress proved polarizing, as with anything that Meghan does, no one could deny it wasn't suitably expensive. The gown was allegedly worth $147,000, solidifying its place as one of the world's most expensive celebrity wedding dresses.

Amal Clooney had one of the most expensive wedding dresses of all time when she married George Clooney 

• Price: $380,000
• Designer: Oscar de la Renta

George Clooney has tied the knot twice. However, he and Amal Clooney are such a perfect pairing that it's easy to forget the two of them haven't been together forever. In reality, they only tied the knot in 2014, with the bride making a very big impression in her dress that was as exquisite as it was expensive.

With George being one of Hollywood's biggest names, money was no great concern for this wedding. So, Amal didn't have to stress when Oscar de la Renta put together a gorgeous gown to the alleged tune of $380,000. There aren't many expensive celebrity wedding dresses with a bigger price tag than that, which is quite an achievement.

Victoria Swarovski's expensive wedding dress was adorned in crystals and supposedly weighed 100 pounds

• Price: $1 million
• Designer: Michael Cinco

With a surname like Swarovski, there never should have been any doubt that Victoria's wedding dress would be expensive. She's the heiress to the Swarovski crystal empire, which is worth billions of dollars. So, she could hardly walk down the aisle in something that most people would consider affordable, right? Thankfully, Victoria went above and beyond with her outfit.

Worth a reported $1 million, Victoria's dress was a ball gown covered in her family's crystals. There were apparently 500,000 of them on the dress, as well as on the 26-foot lace-edged veil. Michael Cinco helped design the stunning garment, which was adorned with so many crystals that it allegedly weighed as much as 100 pounds.

Serena Williams swapped her tennis shorts for a cape when she tied the knot 

• Price: $3.5 million
• Designer: Sarah Burton

Most people probably aren't used to seeing Serena Williams looking glamorous, given her successful career as a tennis player. However, when she tied the knot in 2017, she swapped the shorts for one of the most breathtaking looks to ever walk down the aisle. It was also one of the most expensive, given its alleged $3.5 million price tag.

Serena apparently asked Sarah Burton to make the garment after Anna Wintour recommended the designer. It's because the tennis pro reportedly wanted a cape for her big day, and Burton had experience in that field. The cape definitely added something to this voluminous outfit that screamed expensive from top to bottom. Serena really did look like $3.5 million.
