Alex Borstein didn’t just wear any wedding dress to the Emmys in 2018.
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” star took the stage to accept the award for outstanding supporting actress in her own wedding gown, which she first wore when she married Jackson Douglas in 1999.
“This is actually my wedding dress. This was from 20 years ago,” she told Glamour during a red-carpet interview. “And the marriage didn’t last, but the dress did, and I wanted to give it new life so now it’s my Emmy dress. That’s the truth.”

Camila Morrone chose to make her Oscars debut in a wedding gown that was reimagined just for her.
The 23-year-old model/actress, who went to the awards show to support her boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio, stepped out on the red carpet in a pink, drop-waist Carolina Herrera gown that was originally designed to be a wedding dress.
Morrone’s stylist, Micah Schifman, told InStyle in 2020 that the dress was chosen because it channeled Grace Kelly.
Schifman also explained that they asked for a few changes to make it look less wedding-ready. They worked with Herrera to adjust the color from white to blush and add in the exposed boning to make it feel more modern.
