The internet has not stopped talking about Kourtney Kardashian’s third wedding to Travis Barker in Portofino, and TBH, we understand why.
The entire family turned out some incredible looks, but Kardashian’s Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress was a true vision. With all three of her wedding looks being above-the-knee, we might be seeing a new mini wedding dress trend emerge.
It’s true that what’s old is always new again when it comes to fashion, and just like the mod-style is back in the latest Australian fashion trends, a more refined version of the mod wedding dress is back for the modern bride.
Below, we’ve pulled together six celebrities that have worn short wedding dresses over the years, with a modern version that you can shop to get the look.
Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian dazzled in her mini Dolce & Gabbana wedding dress for her and Travis Barker’s third ceremony.
Ginia Silk Chemise - Blanca
You could go for a more simple version of Kardashian’s euro-inspired look, by wearing a simple lace slip with an elaborate and long lace veil. This Ginia Silk Chemise – Blanca ($179.95) would be perfect for the simplified version of Kardashian’s look, paired with the Moira Hughes The Lucy Veil ($850) to add some extra Euro glamour.
Lily Allen
Lily Allen wore a coat-style mini wedding dress by Dior in her 2020 wedding to actor David Harbour. She paired it with a cute pin-up hairstyle and simple veil — it was understated in all the right ways.
4th & Reckless Rebecca Blazer Dress
This 4th & Reckless Rebecca Blazer Dress ($140) has a similar vibe to Allen’s dress, but a little more relaxed. This bridal look would really suit either a messy up-do or hair down, with a platform heel.
Audrey Hepburn
Audrey Hepburn wore this adorable pink mini dress by Givenchy at her wedding to Italian psychiatrist Dr. Andrea Dotti in 1969. This style still holds up today, with the mod-style making a comeback recently at Afterpay Australian Fashion Week.
Rebecca Vallance Charlotte Long Sleeve Mini Dress
Do it like Audrey in this gorgeous Rebecca Vallance Charlotte Long Sleeve Mini Dress ($599). It has the same simple elegance as Hepburn’s dress, and we love a coloured wedding gown — especially pink!
Emma Stone
Emma Stone wore her Louis Vuitton wedding dress to the 2022 Met Gala and looked as ravishing as ever. The ’20s style really suits an understated glamorous look, letting those ostrich feathers do all the talking.
Rachel Gilbert Samarah Mini
This Rachel Gilbert Samarah Mini ($1,390) is a more modern version of Stone’s Louis Vuitton dress, with a simple, fitted bodice and a featured hem. You could add a beaded veil to this look for some extra texture, and maybe even some colourful shoes, for a colour pop!
Sharon Tate
This is American actress Sharon Tate on the day she married film director Roman Polanski. We’re not going to think about the woeful fate of the union just months after their wedding (they split), because this dress is so gorgeous, it’s all we can think about!
Alcer Marquis Dress
While nothing could compare to Tate’s babydoll dress, this Alcer Marquis Dress ($450) has a similar vibe, with the puffy sleeves and high neck. If you wanted to make it more mod, you could try a 60’s style up-do, or even a bun with heaps of little bows in it! You could then match it with shoes with bows, like the Alias Mae Bowie Heels ($249.95).
Emma Lee Bunton
In 2021, Baby Spice Emma Bunton walked down the aisle to her boyfriend of 23 years, Jade Jones. Having met in 1998, aged 21 and 19, the couple split in 1999, only to come back together a year later. Now they’re married! Fairytales are real! Bunton wore a super simple white mini with loose transparent sleeves, in a ceremony that was only her now-husband and immediate family.
Party Just For Fun in White Dress
This Party Just For Fun in White Dress ($61) from Showpo is the same vibe as Bunton’s… all we need is a veil! Oh, and an Equine Garter in White ($24.95).
