Jennifer Lopez's fans knew she'd deliver when it came to her wedding day, and the Marry Me actress did not disappoint with her three gorgeous bridal gowns – all designed by Ralph Lauren.

The Jenny from the Block hitmaker tied the knot with Ben Affleck on 20 August 2022 at the Deep Water actor's Georgia estate. In her On the JLo newsletter, Jennifer revealed she started the celebrations in a backless full-length gown with a high neckline and 1,000 handkerchiefs making up her voluminous fishtail skirt and train.

Jennifer was a stunning bride in three Ralph Lauren wedding dresses

For her wedding reception, JLo changed into a vintage, 1920s-style evening gown with draped pearls and Swarovski crystals. Finally, her third dress of the day came complete with a keyhole neckline embellished with more crystals, an open back, an organza hood and a mermaid skirt. 

All three of her gowns were undoubtedly very different, but her first and final gown did have one thing in common – a mermaid skirt. Feeling inspired? Even if you can't get your hands on three custom-made designer wedding dresses, we've scoured the internet for some beautiful lookalikes with similar figure-flattering silhouettes. Take a look…
