I, like most of the world, am a sucker for celebrity wedding dresses. But since affording a haute couture gown is ~~probably~~ definitely not in my future, I decided to comb through the depths of the internet to find the prettiest, celebrity-inspired wedding dresses that I can actually afford (read: price tags that won't demolish my bank account). Ahead, the 15 best wedding gowns of all time—including those worn by models, athletes, and royalty—and their damn similar dupes that you can shop right this very second.

Meghan Markle

The big reveal of Meghan Markle’s royal wedding gown was well worth the wait—the (now) Duchess of Sussex opted for a timeless, boatneck Givenchy dress that screamed sophistication. The ideal combination of timeless and romantic, I have a feeling this gown will inspire brides for years to come.

Lucky for you, stealing the Duchess’ look doesn’t have to come with a designer price tag. This simple, über-flattering gown is a budget-friendly and gorgeous option for brides-to-be.

Meghan Markle

Of course one dress wasn't enough for Meghan—she who has become a legit style icon in the past year—which is why I wasn't even surprised when she rolled up to the evening reception in a crazy-chic high-neck Stella McCartney gown.

Meghan Markle

Cop Meghan's dress with this silky, halter-top gown by Galvan. It's understated but guaranteed to make an impression.

Serena Williams

Williams wore not one, not two, but three dresses during her wedding to Alexis Ohanian. The tennis pro changed into a short Versace dress (adorned with feathers and beads) for the reception—the hemline and fun details made for the perfect dancing dress.

Prepare to dance the night away like Serena in this fringe-y piece by BHLDN.

Miranda Kerr

Google the definition of "fairytale" and I'm pretty sure a photo of Miranda Kerr's wedding gown will pop up. The model wore a stunning Dior Haute Couture gown on her big day with Evan Spiegel. The dress is loosely inspired by Grace Kelley's iconic 1956 wedding gown (namely in the cut and fit).

For a similar, long-sleeve gown, look no further than this Givenchy dress, which is adorned with faux pearls along the neckline.

Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton's royal wedding gown was a lot different than Meghan's—the Duchess of Cambridge wore a long-sleeve, lace Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton gown with a deep-v neckline. With an impeccably tailoried waist, the dress made for a ridiculously pretty ensemble.

Kate Middleton

This lace gown by BHLDN gives off the ultimate Kate Middleton vibe—for far less than the rumored $400,000 price tag attached to the Duchess' dress.

Samira Wiley

The OITNB and The Handmaid's Tale actress opted for a gorgeous Christian Siriano gown for her wedding to writer Lauren Morelli. "Having spent years in an orange jumpsuit, Samira really wanted to have her fairytale wedding moment and therefore opted for a more traditional look," the designer told People.

This off-the-shoulder gown by Sareh Nouri offers an elegant, über-romantic look that mirrors Wiley's.

Kaley Cuoco

I'm a sucker for alternative wedding dresses, hence why I was super keen on Kaley Cuoco's reception jumpsuit. The actress went for a white-lace one-piece with a plunging neckline, because why not.

Either fasten the top button for a more conservative look, or let it fly like Cuoco—this deep-v jumpsuit by Rosie Assoulin is a surefire win.

Chrissy Teigen

Considering Teigen could have worn a paper bag to her wedding and still shown up on my best dressed list, it didn't take much for the model to stun. But Teigen certainly knocked it out of the park in this super-extra Vera Wang gown (one of three gowns the model wore on her big day).

Chrissy Teigen

This Watters gown is simple and extra—the lace-covered corset serves as the perfect companion to the large, billowing skirt.

Pippa Middleton

Kate's younger sister chose a bespoke Giles Deacon gown for her big day. "I wanted that 'how-was-that-done?' factor," Deacon told Business of Fashion of his process. "It’s all hand-pieced which is why you don’t actually see a seam."

Pippa Middleton

Corded lace and delicate organza flowers make this White by Vera Wang both special and classic—and very similar to Pippa's.

Emmy Rossum

Emmy Rossum was the epitome of chic at her ceremony, thanks to her simple and elegant Carolina Herrera gown. "As soon as I got engaged, I immediately knew that I wanted Mrs. Herrera to make my wedding dress," the actress told Vogue.

This fitted, off-the-shoulder gown by Katie May pays homage to the simplicity—and elegance—of Rossum's look.

Kate Moss

John Galliano was the mastermind behind Kate Moss' vintage-inspired wedding gown. The subtle accents and sheer fabric were super on-brand for Moss; the model is the queen of cool, laid-back style.

Although this BHLDN gown calls on lace rather than jewels, the sheer straps are a damn-close dupe to that of Moss'.

Kate Upton

Kate Upton was glowing in sheer, lace-y gown by Valentino. "They are the best at creating delicate, beautiful lace and details, and their Italian heritage kept the fashion and feel authentic to our venue," Upton told Vogue. "The design process was extremely collaborative, so I was able to really include my personal style and create my dream dress."

Poppy Delevingne

Poppy Delevingne had two wedding ceremonies—for her second, the bride wore a gorgeous Emilio Pucci gown. The floral embellishments added a unique element to an otherwise classic silhouette.
