The Biggest Celebrity Weddings of 2021

Actor, filmmaker, and writer Lena Dunham married the British-Peruvian musician Luis Felber (known professionally as Attawalpa) after roughly a year of dating. (The New York Times confirmed both the nuptials and the fact that Felber has never seen Girls.) According to Page Six, Taylor Swift and boyfriend Joe Alwyn were among those to attend the intimate ceremony.

Younger star Molly Bernard and attorney Hannah Lieberman finally tied the knot after announcing their engagement in January of 2020. Wearing a couture Wray gown and custom suit by the bespoke label Bindle & Keep, respectively, the pair filled the Prospect Park Boathouse to the brim with flora and fauna by Fleurotica.

Emily in Paris star Lily Collins married the filmmaker Charlie McDowell over Labor Day weekend, wearing a dramatic Ralph Lauren gown constructed entirely of lace to their ceremony in a picturesque Colorado forest setting.

The 24-year-old model Jordan Kale Barrett and 23-year-old model Fernando Casablancas had planned a vacation to Ibiza when it occurred to them that they might as well get married while they were at it, keeping it casual in black sleeveless shirts and pants. The decision was so spontaneous that neither of their family’s could attend the ceremony, but Barrett’s close friend Kate Moss made it just in time to serve as ring-bearer (and let loose on vacation).

And the award for most over-the-top goes to... Jasmine Tookes and Juan David Borrero! The model and Snapchat exec didn’t hold back even a bit when celebrating their official union after dating for five years. Borrero set the standards high with his proposal, enlisting a drone to deliver the seven-karat diamond, 18-karat gold ring after treating Tookes to champagne and Popeye’s aboard a helicopter. The big day saw Tookes match the opulence of a fully gilded church in Borrero’s native Ecuador in a hand-embellished gown by Zuhair Murad—a “work of art” she may soon put on display in their house.

The co-creators of the hit HBO Max series Hacks tied the knot just before winning a joint Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series. “To Paul, I’m in love with you, which is why I married you last weekend,” Aniello said onstage when accepting her additional award for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series. The pair, who first met in 2007, kept it in the Hacks family by tapping their fellow co-creator to officiate.

Lady Kitty Spencer, niece of Princess Diana, tied the knot with Michael Lewis, a fashion mogul from South Africa, in Italy while wearing a Victorian-inspired lace gown (designed by Dolce & Gabbana).

Surprise! Issa Rae married her longtime beau Louis Diame in a private ceremony in the south of France, wearing a custom Vera Wang gown. Her Instagram caption about the occasion was, in typical Rae fashion, lowkey. “I took a few flicks with Somebody’s Husband,” she wrote.

Anna Faris was doling out some romantic advice on her podcast in mid-July when she accidentally “just blurted out” that her fiancé, the cinematographer Michael Barrett, is “now [her] husband.” The pair kept it secret by eloping, making things official at a courthouse in Washington state. (Faris has a son with Chris Pratt, whom she divorced in 2017.)

Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall’s 23-year-old son Gabriel Jagger married his equally media-shy fiancé of one year, Anouk Winzenried, in a verdant corner of London midway through July. Perhaps the most low-key of Jagger’s eight children, Gabriel has divulged next to nothing about the relationship, though the Daily Mail has reported that he met Winzenried when she was working Mustique.

Baby Spice and her longtime beau Jade Jones waited a full decade after getting engaged to officially tie the knot. The parents of two, who started dating back in the late ‘90s, eschewed traditional bridalwear: Bunton went with an ivory mini-dress with sheer sleeves—a relatively traditional look compared to Jones’s monogram Gucci blazer, navy t-shirt, and fedora.

Lara Stone—the definitive model of the late ‘00s—married the property developer David Grievson three-and-a-half years after they met on Tinder. The low-key ceremony was worlds away from the one Stone and her ex-husband, the comedian David Walliams, held in 2010. Whereas Stone then wore two custom designs by Riccardo Tisci and invited her industry peers, she appears to have kept it in the family with Grievson, wearing a romantic lace long-sleeved gown by the London-based bespoke bridal label Tephi.

Some things—like the cowboy stiletto boots Gwen Stefani wore with her Vera Wang gown to finally marry the country singer Blake Shelton—just make sense. The ceremony, held in Shelton’s home state of Oklahoma and officiated by fellow The Voice host Carson Daly, has been a long time coming. While the pair only got engaged last October, they’ve been dating (and incessantly fawning over each other) since 2015.

Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez invited just 20 or so guests to their intimate ceremony at Grande’s home in Montecito, California in May, a year and a half after she met the real estate agent while searching for a house near L.A. Just as she and the designer planned a few years back, Grande wore custom Vera Wang, along with towering platform heels and her signature ponytail. The singer also kept the promise she made in “thank u, next”: “One day I’ll walk down the aisle / Holding hands with my mama.”

A decade into their relationship, actor Aubrey Plaza casually referred to the director and fellow dark indie comedy darling Jeff Baena as her husband on Instagram.

MacKenzie Scott officially moved on from the aspiring space tourist Jeff Bezos by marrying a school teacher from Seattle, Dan Jewett, in March.

The painter Jordan Casteel married David Schulze in May, four years after she swiped right on the photographer on Raya. Casteel tapped Batsheva Hay to design her gown—a custom high-necked smock dress, topped off with a fascinator and purple eye shadow. The ceremony took place on a rooftop in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
