Kylie Jenner and Tessa Thompson brought ruffles to the red carpet, a forever favorite when it comes to bridal trends. These cascading trains create a striking impact and we’re sure to see brides continue acing the look. Now with fresh inspiration from the Met steps to mimic, we don’t see this trend going away any time soon!

Feathers have also been a major bridalwear trend over the past several seasons, and it is clear to see why. Labels like Marchesa, Monique Lhuillier, and Oscar De La Renta are among the many who have mastered this trend with multiple styles. And these ensembles by Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton, and Saint Laurent are 100% serving as new inspiration for the bold brides. Additionally, we also love Bridgerton actress Nicola Coughlan’s dramatic look channeling her Penelope Featherington style through her Regency-inspired feathered gown.
