Kate Middleton's iconic wedding dress takes top spot as most searched for

For wedding dress inspiration, the Princess of Wales is the bride most often looked to.

More than 9,000 people a month search online for the dress Kate wore to wed Prince William in 2011, the design of Briton Sarah Burton.

In second place is Meghan, Duchess of Sussex with more than 8,000 searches for the boat-necked Givenchy gown she wore in 2018. Third is their mother-in-law Diana, then-Princess of Wales, from 1981.

Online retailer Boohoo collated the data and a spokesman said: “The public are inspired to use the features for their own weddings.”

The late Princess Diana, meanwhile, takes third place for her memorable gown she wore on the day she married King Charles III.

While the royals topped the list, a number of celebrities also featured on it too, including Nicola Peltz who came in fourth place for her dress as she walked down the aisle to Brooklyn Beckham.

Nicola wore a custom Valentino design. And while the dress was simple and stunning, there was also much talk about why she didn't wear a design from her future mother-in-law Victoria Beckham.

The fact Nicola didn't wear a Victoria Beckham creation meant the pair were focus of feud rumours, but Nicola hoped to put that bed as she told Variety in an interview after her big day: "I was going to and I really wanted to, and then a few months down the line, she realised that her atelier couldn’t do it, so then I had to pick another dress.

"She didn’t say you can’t wear it; I didn’t say I didn’t want to wear it. That’s where it started, and then they ran with that."

In fifth place was Kourtney Kardashian, who recently revealed a chilling new detail about her big day, for her short Dolce and Gabbana wedding dress. She wed husband Travis Barker during a stunning ceremony in Portofino, Italy and the lavish event was even reported to have been sponsored by the designer.

Pippa Middleton, who came in sixth place on the list, was the talk of the country after she was a bridesmaid for her sister Kate in 2011, telling the Mirror of her bridesmaids dress after the ceremony: "As I have found out, recognition has its upside, its downside and – you may say – its backside."

She opted for a very different fit for her own wedding, as her lace Giles Deacon designed number had a high neckline and a full skirt.

Socialite Paris Hilton takes the number seven spot on the list. Her lavish nuptials to Carter Reum celebrated their love with a three-day event say the heiress wear a whopping seven different numbers, including an eye-catching dress in Paris' favourite colour; pink.

However, her favourite was the custom Oscar de la Renta she wore to her ceremony.

Thank u, next singer Ariana Grande takes spot number eight on the list. The silky gown she wore to wed real estate agent Dalton Gomez in a secret ceremony in 2021 was simple and chic.
