The Met Gala famously has the hottest guest list of the year along with being one of fashion's major annual showcases! This year, celebs wowed us on the steps of the Met in their "Gilded Age" themed outfits. It is also a great source of wedding outfit inspiration for many fashion-forward couples. Here are some of the most popular looks and how you can get the look for your wedding, whether you are wanting bridal wear inspiration, ideas for mum's outfit, bridesmaids or even some ideas for standout menswear.

To make it easier for you to shop for your wedding fashion, we have included links to trusted Guides for Brides suppliers and some third-party sites. We may earn a commission on your purchase through these third-parties which helps us continue to offer our planning tools and services for free to our wedding couples.

From almost perfect matches to inspiring features, let's take a look at some of the Met Gala's most talked about looks and how you can get inspired for your wedding...

Bridal Inspiration

Looking for inspiration for the bride's wedding look? Here are some ideas from this year's Met Gala red carpet...

Kim Kardashian's Monroe Moment

We HAVE to kick things off with the queen of making a statement, Kim Kardashian! She wowed on the Met steps wearing a gorgeous fitted dress which was last showcased by Marilyn Monroe as she sang "Happy Birthday" to JFK six decades ago! The ideal nod to Kim K's crystal-embellished Monroe moment has to be Eva Lendel's Ayla gown. Shown above with the detachable over-skirt, the Ayla gown features a stunning mermaid silhouette and is beautifully decorated in embroidered lace with beads and artificial pearls. Just stunning!

Find Eva Lendel stocked at Ellie Sanderson Bridal Boutique.

Sydney Sweeney's Bridal-Inspired Look

Euphoria star, Sydney Sweeney looked amazing in Tory Burch. This is such a great look to get inspired for your bridal wear! Sweeney's gown turned from a strapless floor-length gown into a playful mini as she walked the Met red carpet. So many brides would be inspired by this look with a day to night change being so on trend for summer 2022 weddings. We particularly loved the neckline of this look, and have paired it with the stunning Seraphine gown by ÉLYSÉE Édition. The neckline is the perfect match and we love the minimalist design that is perfect if you want a sophisticated look.

Find this bridal look at TDR Bridal Birmingham.

Hailey Bieber's Halter Neck Gown

Hailey Bieber stunned in this gorgeous minimal look paired with a fabulous feather coat. The model, who married Justin Bieber in 2019, wore a custom made Yves Saint Laurent halter neck slip gown on the red carpet. Hailey's look would be ideal for a relaxed, destination wedding! We've found a match in Coast Fashion's wedding collection. This pretty slip gown with similar twist halter neckline would be the perfect choice and flattering on every figure!

Purchase this dress on Coast.

Wedding Menswear Inspiration

We mustn't discount the men at the Met Gala. Their looks can be utterly sensational! Here are some key outfits that may inspire the menswear for your wedding.

Stormzy's Regal All-White Look

Stormzy made an entrance fit for a king in this white three-piece wool suit from Burberry. Designed by Riccardo Tisci, we love the white satin lapels and a matching white cape. Heavy is the head that wears the crown, but Stormzy held his up high in this showstopper! Want a white suit to match Stormzy? We recommend going for a bespoke suit for the perfect all-white match, but this Milano cream wool and cashmere single breasted tuxedo jacket from Luciano's Suits is a close second. We particularly love the lapels, they are a beautiful detail!

Find this jacket or order a bespoke suit from Luciano's Suits.

Austin Butler's Edgy All-Black Look

Austin Butler's edgy all-black look had a sultry vibe! The actor is due to play Elvis in Baz Luhrmann's biopic of the legendary singer and was crowned king of the red carpet by GQ with this head-to-toe Prada look! Whether you want this same edgy vibe for the groom, groomsmen or even as a wedding guest, this black shirt from Boohoo is ideal and cost effective! It gives the same rockstar-esque vibe and would be perfect for a monochrome wedding.

Buy this shirt on Boohoo.com.

Ryan Reynolds's Burgundy Number

Ryan Reynolds has made headlines as "Husband Goals" at this year's Met Gala. He looked suave (as ever) in his Ralph Lauren velvet suit with a white waistcoat and bow tie. The brown-burgundy colour worked brilliantly for this look. You can get a similar look in this ASOS suit. The burgundy velvet suit would be ideal for a jewel tone colour scheme and would look fantastic on any groom or groomsman.

Shop this look on ASOS.

Ideas for Mum's Wedding Look

It's so important for mum to feel special on your wedding day and finding the perfect outfit is a big part of that. Here you can take some inspiration for mother of the bride or groom looks.

Blake Lively's Tribute to New York

Ok, so nothing can compare to Blake Lively's STUNNING Versace ensemble at the Met Gala. I mean... look at it! Blake's look was inspired by the Statue of Liberty from the copper tones that turn blue as well as New York City architecture. It truly is one of a kind! So, for this 'get the look', we focused on the metallic detailing and how mothers of the bride or groom can emulate that particular feature in their chosen outfit. This beautiful Veni Infantino midi dress is stunning and has such beautiful detailing that comes to a focal point on the waist and bodice, just like Blake's.

Find this outfit at Charisma of Fawley.

Kris Jenner's Homage to Jackie Kennedy

Kris Jenner absolutely shone in her sunshine yellow silk ensemble. Her Oscar de la Renta gown had an err of Jackie O, especially when partnered with the elegant bob hair and soft glam makeup. Mothers of the bride or groom can get Kris's exact look by purchasing this outfit at a pretty price of £6200, but if you can't stretch to that amount, this Veni Infantino lemon yellow dress and chiffon shawl combination is the perfect look-alike!

You can find Veni Infantino stocked at Charisma of Fawley.

Bridesmaid Look Inspiration

Finally, the bridesmaids dresses! Help your girls look and feel great with these Met Gala lookalike outfits.

Lily Aldridge's Crystal Gown

Model Lily Aldridge sparkled on the red carpet, covered head-to-toe in 170,000 crystals. This stunning look was created bespoke by Cate Holstein for her brand, Khaite. Perfect for bridesmaids at a monochrome wedding, this off the shoulder design from Goddiva is a lovely homage to Lily's look. The off the shoulder bodice is held neatly with straps (making it much easier for your girls to party!) and the detailing gives that same sparkle in a much more subtle way.

Buy this dress on Goddiva.

Gabrielle Union Stunning in Silver

Gabrielle Union was dripping in silver at this year's Met Gala. Since sparkly bridesmaids dresses are so on trend right now, we've matched her stunning plunge neck Versace gown with this silver ensemble from Coast Fashion. The glittering bodice emulates the dress itself. Additionally, the skirt pays homage to Gabrielle's over-skirt. You could always accentuate this look with some red accessories, just like the flower detail on Union's waistline.

Buy this dress from Coast Fashion.
