21 Celebrity Weddings That Shaped How We Celebrate Marriage

What They Shaped: Gradient Wedding Dresses

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are no longer together (she married Blake Shelton in a personalised Oklahoma ranch ceremony in July 2021), but the pink dress she wore for her 2002 wedding remains unforgettable. The show-stopping gown, designed by John Galliano, astonished the public with its gradient cream-and-rose hues—unheard of two decades earlier when wedding gowns were more cookie-cutter in character. The same was true for Rossdale and Stefanie’s tiered, red rose wedding cake, a unique creation from their wedding at St Paul’s Cathedral in London.
