Wedding season is in full swing, and that can only mean only thing — bridesmaid duties! You're not alone, since celebs including the Olsen twins and Rihanna have been a maid to their besties. Scroll through to see how these A-listers and more rocked the role (and their bridesmaid dresses)!
Rachel Bilson: The Nashville actress served as a bridesmaid, not once, but twice, standing up for friend Geraleh just this past March in a stunning blush dress that appeared to be of her own choosing, and donning a one-shoulder frock of the same color back in June of last year for yet another pal.

Taylor Swift Not only was T. Swift the maid of honor in childhood bestie Britany Maack (now LaManna)’s 2016 wedding, but she made a rousing speech on behalf of the bride, saying, “My favorite accomplishment of my entire life is that everything has changed in my life except for me and Britany… She was my partner in crime at Brownies sleep-away camp, and she was my date to the Grammys.” Awww!

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: The designers showed off their goth side in head-to-toe black for friend Maggie Kayne’s New Zealand nuptials back in March, but went full-on boho for the July nuptials of Golmelsky creative director Cassie Coane. Ashley wore a black, long-sleeved number and Mary-Kate rocked a golden kimono, bright flower crown, and green flats. (Photo via

Jennifer Lawrence: Though J. Law is a bit of a bridesmaid expert at this point, having stood up in no less than four weddings (including her brother, Blaine’s), she reportedly has no desire to ever repeat the task, telling Vanity Fair, “I will never be a bridesmaid again…There needs to be a bridesmaids’ union. It’s horrendous. If anyone ever asks me again, I’m going to say, ‘No. That part of my life is over. I appreciate the ask.’” (Photo via @jlawsfab)
Nina Dobrev: Her first taste of the bridesmaid life for BFF Julianne Hough’s recent wedding to Brooks Laich was every bit as fun as you might imagine. According to Dobrev, who was quite fetching in a pink Marchesa design, “I assumed the dance floor would be fire and it did NOT disappoint,” she wrote on Instagram. “In fact, it exceeded all expectations. It was made of antique glass… Can you guys renew your vows every year? Thanks.” (Photo via @nina)

tweeting, “So I’ve officially ruined my friend’s wedding pics.” We beg to differ, Brooklyn — that face is wedding gold! (Photo via @BrooklynDecker)

Paris Hilton:: Though sister Nicky Hilton Rothschild reportedly had seven bridesmaids to speak of, Paris stood out from the bunch in her pale blue Dennis Basso gown. She had no need to worry about garish bridesmaid looks, however: As she was quoted as previously saying by the Daily Mail, "It’s her day, so whatever she wants me to wear, I will. But I know that Nicky has impeccable taste, so the bridesmaid dresses are going to be beautiful.” (Photo via Neil Mockford + Alex Huckle/Getty)
Cara Delevingne: Talk about the chicest bridesmaid ever! Delevingne avoided any bridesmaid style woes by attending big sis Poppy Delevingne’s lavish nuptials in a white Chanel gown that rivaled even the bride’s own custom Chanel-designed frock. (Photo via Stuart C. Wilson/Getty)
