20 Of The Most Famous And Iconic Wedding Dresses Of All Time

17. Wallis Simpson

Edward VIII abdicated his throne in December 1936 in order to marry Wallis Simpson. They wed in June 1937 at the Château de Candé in France. She wore a pale blue dress with a nipped-in buttoned waist, a Cartier brooch at her neck and a halo-like hat.

18. Bianca Jagger

Bianca Jagger decided against a traditional wedding dress for her May 1971 wedding to Mick Jagger, opting instead for a white skirt suit by Savile Row tailor Tommy Nutter – who had previously designed suits for the Rolling Stones, Elton John and Yoko Ono. The designer had made a shirt for Bianca to wear under the jacket but it did not fit as she was four-months pregnant – so she wore nothing underneath instead. She kept the Riviera sunshine off with a wide-brimmed hat. The couple were married until 1978 and had one daughter together – Jade.

19. Jerry Hall

Jerry Hall also eschewed wearing white for her 1990 wedding to Mick Jagger in Bali, opting instead for traditional Balinese dress for the unofficial Balinese ceremony – a largely of Hindu ritual. The couple had started dating in 1977 and their common-law marriage ended in 1999. They have four children together: Elizabeth (born 1984), James (born 1985), Georgia May (born 1992) and Gabriel (born 1997).

20. Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe married retired baseball player Joe DiMaggio in San Francisco in January 1954. The Hollywood starlet – who had previously been married to police officer James Dougherty – wore a black skirt suit with a white fur collar for her second wedding and carried a bunch of white orchids. Their marriage lasted only 274 days and Marilyn went on to be married to playwright Arthur Miller from 1956 to 1961 before her death in 1962.
