What to wear to a wedding? According to the A-list right now, anything goes—from a flowing floral frock to a risqué two-piece, if that’s what takes your fancy. If it’s black-tie inspiration you’re looking for, celebrities traditionally opt for a floor-skimming gown in a bold shade, but black is by no means off the cards, either. Meanwhile, vintage is also becoming increasing popular, with the likes of Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Paloma Elsesser all opting for archival looks in recent months.
