The Most "Nontraditional" Brides in the Movies I Love - Who Needs a Wedding Gown?

Now that I'm spending a lot of time at home, I figure I should start thinking about that wedding that I've got coming up in a year, for which I am the bride. Even though I have eccentric everyday style, my bridal taste is a lot more simple or nontraditional. I'm still not sure what my wedding dress will look like, but I figure why not take inspiration from one of the sources I'm quite familiar with these days: movies. I recently put together a list of casual brides IRL, (I'll always love that Emily Ratajkowski wore a marigold Zara suit to City Hall to tie the knot, for example), but some iconic moments in film do come straight to mind.

I can narrate almost every scene from 1998's The Parent Trap, including the one where Hallie (who is pretending to be Annie) asks her mother, Elizabeth James, about her wedding to Nick Parker after coming home from summer camp. "Actually, I didn't even wear a wedding dress," Elizabeth tells her as she recounts a very small snippet of the wedding we so gratifyingly get to see in the opening scene of the movie aboard the Queen Elizabeth II cruise ship. Elizabeth wore a classic white sheath with spaghetti straps and a slightly fuller skirt for the occasion, but really, it was something one might have packed for a black-tie dinner on a cruise ship in the early '90s. It wasn't extravagant or your typical ballgown, and I always loved how simply it was styled, as is evident by the photo Hallie and Annie each own halves of.

Even though I haven't picked out my own wedding dress yet, I'm not too worried when I know how much I love Elizabeth James's effortless outfit, along with the rest of the ensembles you'll see here. I'd be perfectly fine with wearing any of them down the aisle, just because they're all so different and relaxed in their own way. From the canary yellow fit-and-flare Maria wears with a veil in West Side Story to Sandra Bullock's Jackie Kennedy-esque skirt suit in Two Weeks Notice, I think you'll fully enjoy looking back on some of these unique bridal moments with me.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
