Anne Hathaway has made some pretty iconic sartorial choices over the years. 

Her character Andy Sachs established herself as nothing short of an icon surrounded by the crème de la crème of the fashion world in The Devil Wears Prada, but it is a certain look from her 2004 reprisal of the lead role Mia Thermopolis in The Princess Diaries 2: The Royal Engagement which remains one of her most well-known bridal look.

Anne's royal alter ego walked down the Genovian aisle in the most beautiful gown featuring lace sleeves and a Bardot neckline. Her deep brunette locks were slicked off her face to cater for her dainty tiara and metres-long veil.

The Idea of You star's own wedding dress was a far cry from the Disney garment. The actress married Adam Shulman in 2012 in a stunning Valentino gown with a vintage 1920s lace headpiece and pink tulle underlayer.

Anne isn't the only Hollywood actress to get hitched on set. Join HELLO! in revisiting some of the silver screen's most iconic bridal looks…
