8. Serena Williams — 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party
Even before Serena Williams was engaged, it seems she had a penchant for bridal wear! In 2016 Williams wore the Galia Lahav “Morgan” wedding gown on the red carpet instead of a traditional couture garment. The stunning bridal look featured a two-piece set that consisted of a long-sleeve crop top and a figure-hugging mermaid skirt. This sultry bridal look was surprisingly quite different than her own bridal attire from 2017 where she wore a voluminous Princess gown with a full skirt.
