Written by Emma Kassel. Published: August 23, 2024

Since the late 80s, every Chanel Haute Couture show has ended with a stunning bridal gown. The “It Girls” of the time always strut down the catwalk in a unique dress, earning them the iconic nickname “Chanel Bride”. Supermodels of the 80s and 90s like Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Christy TurlingtonAnd Devon Aoki helped Karl Lagerfeld to start this bridal tradition, but current celebrities like Lily Rose Depp, Margaret Qualley, Kendall JennerAnd Cara Delevingne were tapped as modern muses. In honor of Coco Chanelthe founder of the brand, which celebrates her 141st birthday this month, we want to pay tribute to the best Chanel wedding dresses ever seen on the catwalk!
