True love doesn’t require a script, a costume designer, or a stunt double. That said, every wedding deserves a cinematic moment… and usually, that comes with the dress. After all, as the Bride you’re the star of the show—no Hollywood zip code required.

If you’re craving the beauty and drama of an on-screen legend, this is the vision board for you. Here are some vintage style icons and modern trailblazers from the big and small screens. Find your favorite to see how your own Best Dressed moment can begin.


…And God Created Woman (1956)
Brigitte Bardot stars in this drama about a love-torn French family. When she stormed a St. Tropez beach in her wedding corset and skirt, she became a love goddess for generations to come… and an inspiration to Galia Lahav herself, who named last summer’s couture collection after the classic film.

Though Bardot’s original wardrobe was created by the late, great Pierre Balmain, you can channel the bombshell corsetry of the movie with our Daffodil Gown, which combines the sheer sensuality of lingerie with the incredible craftsmanship of couture.

On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (1967)
Diana Rigg became Mrs. James Bond in this swinging spy movie, with all the dry wit and sharp luxury of a shaken-not-stirred martini. Her wedding jumpsuit by costume designer Marjory Cornelius—in body-hugging floral lace—is equally modern and, in the parlance of dashing Brits, “dead sexy.”


The youth-quaking spirit of love and adventure is alive and well in the Gala 811 gown, a beaded bohemian jumpsuit with a stunning slim fit that’s perfect for dancing… or jumping on a motorcycle for covert secret missions.

Coming To America (1988)
What to wear when marrying the Prince of Zamunda? Something equally over-the-top and ready to rule, of course. Enter costume designer Deborah Nadoolman, who used her Broadway background to create a show-stopping swish of tulle for actress Shari Headley.

Our Aelin Gown has the same royal bearing, with sequin flower petals and a sheer corset top, along with (of course) a queenly amount of tulle for the skirt.

Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1993)
Hilary Banks was never lucky in love, but she hit the jackpot when it came to her clothes. With an endless credit card limit and best friends all along Rodeo Drive, the California heiress was a style touchstone for ‘90s girls everywhere. Her wedding dress didn’t disappoint, with pearl chokers and an off-the-shoulder bodice that was literally to die for. (Sorry, Trevor!)

Get the look with a much happier ending courtesy of the Alexandra gown, a mermaid dress with a double-back corset and detachable skirt that lets you make an entrance, then dance The Carlton with the best of them.
