Typically, a wedding dress is something you only wear once. However, some brides break tradition by reusing their gowns for another special day.

Here are 14 celebs who re-wore their wedding dresses:

1.A month after filing for divorce from Grant Hughes, Sophia Bush seemingly repurposed the Cristina Ottaviano minidress she wore to her wedding after-party when she attended Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour. You can see the pictures here.

Her outfit choice aligned with Beyoncé's dress code.

2.When Victoria Beckham married David Beckham in 1999, she wore a Vivienne Westwood dress. Then, in 2018, she re-wore it for a hilarious spoof photoshoot in a British Vogue video.

On Instagram, she said, "Yes. I really pulled out my wedding dress from 12 years ago and wore it on my show tonight. It basically fit except my stupid upper rib cage which grew after my 2 babies. No one tells you about that shit. But babies expand your rib cage so, just be aware. This is a PSA."

4.When Adrienne Bailon Houghton married Israel Houghton in 2016, she wore a mermaid Ryan and Walter bridal dress. Three years later, she wore the gown again to promote the 11th launch from XIXI, her jewelry brand. You can see the pictures here.

She told People, "My wedding anniversary and the anniversary of XIXI are both on 11/11, and in celebration of this huge milestone for my brand, I knew I wanted to do something special. My wedding and my marriage signify a new chapter in my story, so there was a natural progression in deciding to recreate my wedding band and engagement ring...I had [my dress] professionally preserved right after the wedding, and it was stored in a box in my glam room. It was the exact same as it was on my wedding day."

5.Two months after her 2013 wedding to James Righton, Keira Knightley re-wore her powder pink Chanel dress on the Serious Fun gala red carpet.

She actually wore the dress for the first time in 2008, when she attended a pre-BAFTA Awards party.

However, in 2014, the dress was nearly ruined when one of her friends accidentally spilled red wine all over it.

Keira told the Telegraph, "It's quite impressively splattered. But, hey, a good night is a good night, and when a dress has had its time, maybe it's had its time. I'm pretty sure I can get it out but, if I can't, I'm happy with the memory of a good night and the story of how the dress got destroyed."

6.Emma Stone attended the 2022 Met Gala wearing the same white Louis Vuitton dress she wore to her wedding after-party when she married Dave McCary in 2020.

She told Entertainment Tonight, "This is my wedding dress from 21 years ago that Karl gave me. No one gets to wear a wedding dress twice, so I feel very lucky that I got to crack her out."

8.In 2018, Alex Borstein's silver Emmys dress was the same one she wore when she married her ex-husband, Jackson Douglas, in 1999.
