32 Wedding Dresses From TV Shows And Movies, Ranked From Best To Worst

    There are three Cinderella dresses here.

    Hello! It's fun to look at dresses, so here are 32 TV and movie wedding dresses ranked by how much I would refuse to put them on my human body that I definitely have because I am not a robot.

    1. Grace's dress from Ready or Not.

    I adore this dress with all of my heart, folks. I think about it.

    2. Katniss's sneaky wedding dress from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.

    Two gowns in one, via flames? An undeniable winner.

    3. Cece's second wedding dress on New Girl.

    The silhouette, the neckline, the white with gold overlay, the simplicity. There's nothing I don't like.

    4. Nell's wedding dress on The Haunting of Hill House.

    In general, when it comes to wedding dresses, I either want a skirt that twirls when you dance, or I want elegant boho. This is the epitome of the latter.

    5. Zooey's simple stunner in I Love You, Man.

    It's like the outfit doesn't give a shit about the wedding but definitely gives a shit about the marriage, which I find stellar.

    6. Cinderella's wedding dress in – you guessed it – Cinderella.

    It's so pretty and easy-breezy while still having a big, dance-y skirt.

    7. Rachel's wedding dress on Suits.

    This skirt is magnificent.

    8. Bella's dress in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 1.

    The back is fancy in such a fun way and the front is unique without being too much.

    9. Monica's original wedding dress on Friends.

    Child me adored this dress so hard — like, so hard. Even though I love it a lot less now as an adult (definite no to the flower on the back), I can't separate from my childhood feelings of adoration.

    10. Jess's wedding dress on New Girl.

    Short wedding dresses are great.

    11. Maria's very elegant dress from The Sound of Music.

    It's simple, traditionally classy, and cool. If only I could say the same about me.

    12. Lillian's dress in Bridesmaids.

    Lillian wearing an extremely poofy dress

    The whole point of this gown is that it's terrible, so it's a compliment to the Bridesmaids costume designer to say that the only non-random context in which I would wear this dress to my actual wedding is if it were a joke – which I would 100% do.

    13. Sophie's wedding dress from Mamma Mia!

    Sophie wearing a flowy, kind of ruffly dress

    I really like the feeling it's going for, but the execution is leaning toward bad.

    14. Hilary's dress on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

    Any clothing that masterfully straddles the line between over-the-top and classy is a win in my book, but this is one I simply couldn't pull off.

    15. Tahani's dress at her and Jason's wedding on The Good Place.

    A delightful wedding dress that falls into the background isn't a horrible choice, but it's not the best choice.

    16. Margaret's dress from The Proposal.

    Margaret wearing a very old timey, long-sleeve dress

    The fabric and color are wonderful, and I really like wedding dresses with long sleeves, but, look, the chest part makes this look like what the ghost who's haunting you is wearing.

    17. Araminta's gold wedding dress in Crazy Rich Asians.

    Araminta wearing a high-low dress with ruffles

    It's the kind of dress a secret agent would wear, but I am far from a secret agent.

    18. Cristina's dress at her and Owen's wedding on Grey's Anatomy.

    Cristina wearing a nice non-white dress

    I'm all for a more casual type of wedding dress, but I need it to have some pizazz that doesn't scream "dinner party."

    19. Cinderella's fairy tale-y dress in Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella.

    It's something I would potentially wear at a super chill, no big deal wedding, because then it's, like, making fun of weddings in a fun way.

    20. The dress Olivia wears in an alternate universe on Scandal.

    Scandal wearing an off-the-shoulder ballgown

    It's a version I don't love of a style I love, so I don't know why I'd wear it.

    21. Veronica's dress in that Riverdale dream sequence.

    I'm not sure what my problem is exactly, but it all feels a bit gauche-trying-to-be-elegant. The flowers are pretty, though.

    22. This dress from Runaway Bride.

    It's as if this was originally two different dresses, and the top isn't sufficiently beautiful to make up for it.

    23. Pam's dress on The Office.

    Pam wearing a dress with spaghetti straps

    It's definitely not awful, but I wouldn't wear it.

    24. Tamra's dress on The Mindy Project.

    I'm angry that a top this lovely is forced to live with a bottom this icky.

    25. Jane's wedding dress at the end of 27 Dresses.

    I'd rather wear something I like parts of than something I casually dislike entirely. I'd rather wear a worse dress that's going for something than a dress that's dull.

    26. Mia's dress in The Best Man.

    Mia wearing a ballgown with sheer sleeves and flowers on the back

    The best part is the sheer sleeves, but other than that, I feel so little about this that it circles back around to being bad.

    27. Ariel's wedding dress in The Little Mermaid.

    The sleeves are nothing short of ooooooof, but despite how noteworthy they are in a negative way, the dress, all together, is pretty much a nothing.

    28. Lisa's wedding dress on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.

    The fabric and the back limit this from even attempting to approach awesome.

    29. Amy's dress on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

    Amy wearing a semi-big skirt

    I am unable to understand the appeal of it.

    30. Juliet's quite strange wedding dress in Love Actually.

    The back is lovely, but good god do I detest the front.

    31. Callie's wedding dress on Grey's Anatomy.

    I would run from this dress.

    32. And finally, the dress I would refuse to wear the most: Diane's outfit at her and Frasier's imaginary wedding on Cheers.

    Please never ever make me put this on my body.
