2011 Oscar Inspired Wedding Gowns

Mar 4, 2011 by Lauren

At the 2011 Academy Awards, our favorite leading ladies walked down the red carpet wearing a stunning array of designer gowns. The start of the ceremony felt like an elegant fashion show as celebrities paraded in glittering dresses worthy of their own awards. Wedding dress inspiration doesn’t get any better than this! Check out our favorite gowns from the 2011 Oscars and their wedding gown counterparts fit for a glamorous bride.

The first dress of Oscar co-host Anne Hathaway was a striking vintage number from Valentino Haute Couture. Though many brides wouldn’t dare walk down the aisle in such a bold shade of red, the floral bustle gives this gown bridal appeal. Get this look with a dress from Platinum by Priscilla of Boston, which has a similar detail.

Celebrate your curves like Camila Alves did in a grand ballgown by Kaufman Franco. This wedding dress from Amsale features the same dramatic silhouette, with a more conservative and wedding-appropriate neckline.

All eyes were on Natalie Portman and her purple Rodarte gown as she accepted her Academy Award for Best Actress. Her baby bump is barely visible, thanks to the gown’s empire silhouette. You too can get the flowy, romantic feel of a Rodarte creation with this Claire Pettibone dress.

The tea-length Marchesa gown worn by Hailee Steinfield has an affordable, vintage-inspired counterpart from Anthropologie’s BHLDN collection.

Halle Berry strolls down in yet another stunning creation by Marchesa. This Monique Lhuillier gown captures its ornately beaded bodice and trumpet silhouette.

Michelle Williams rocked her new pixie cut in a glittering Chanel gown. This wedding gown by Jenny Packham achieves the same level of glam with the delicate beading on the sleeves and waist.

I saved my favorite gown for last. Mila Kunis’s lavender evening gown by Elie Saab literally took my breath away with its tastefully revealing neckline and gossamer fabric. This wedding dress from Claire Pettibone also features a lace-framed bust with more coverage on the skirt.

Which gown was your favorite from the 2011 Academy Awards?
