12 Times Beyoncé Wore Wedding Dresses Just Because

When you're Beyoncé, pretty much every day is your big day, every red carpet your aisle. The 22-time Grammy-winning artist commands the spotlight and has rocked many an award show, performance, and after party. And her penchant for wearing wedding dresses and other white gowns has only made her stand out more.

Take this image from her music video for "Apesh*t," a song on her joint Everything Is Love

album with husband Jay-Z. In the new video, Beyoncé wowed in a long-sleeved, A-line, and asymmetrically ruffled bridal design by Stephane Rolland. (The gown's price tag matched its aesthetic drama: It cost around $140,000!) Or, consider the 2017 Grammys. Though the star wore gold instead of white, her Peter Dundas beaded dress with a matching veil looked absolutely aisle-ready.

Beyoncé's mom, Tina Knowles, once said her daughter regretted her official wedding dress—a strapless style designed by Knowles herself. While she's since had a do-over (she renewed her vows with Jay-Z in a Galia Lahav wedding dress), she still can't seem to get enough of trying out new bridal looks.

Maybe she loves wearing a statement dress—or perhaps it's because she just knows white is her color (she would be right). But thanks to wedding-inspired hues and bridal-esque embellishments, the singer seriously seemed to glow on all of these occasions. And though they weren't actually weddings, Queen Bey slayed like a bride—and inspired brides-to-be everywhere. See all her best wedding-worthy looks, some of which she snagged straight off bridal runways.

Beyoncé's Peter Dundas dress at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards may not have been white, but it was definitely bridal—especially when paired with a matching veil.
