7 Bridal Dresses Inspired by Demi Lovato’s Engagement Looks

It feels like so many of our favorite celebrities are getting engaged or tying the knot, and, as BRIDES editors, we can’t get enough. Just recently, the world got a peek into Demi Lovato’s bridal wardrobe—thanks to her Instagram post showcasing her stunning engagement shoot captured by Jose Villa, which was complete with a vintage convertible. The singer and actor got engaged to fiancé Jordan “Jutes” Lutes in 2023, and we’re obsessing over how perfectly this couple captured a retro aesthetic. And we can’t help but notice how flawlessly Lovato wears the two off-the-shoulder dresses featured in her shoot. Do we sense a new bridal trend on the horizon?

We’re a fan of off-the-shoulder styles because they can work for any bride’s taste, whether their bridal looks lean more minimalist or dramatic. Lovato opts for one dress with an exaggerated bodice that blends into the off-the-shoulder sleeves and a simpler off-the-shoulder style with a plunging neckline. If you’re feeling inspired by these looks, we found similar options for your engagement shoot, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, or any other wedding-related event—read ahead for our editor-approved picks.

Mimicking the corset detail on one of Lovato’s dresses, this off-the-shoulder midi has the perfect subtly sexy touches. The structured corset bodice blends beautifully with the rest of the elegant, form-fitting silhouette—it’s perfect for a formal rehearsal dinner.

This SIMKHAI dress offers a more playful version of a classic off-the-shoulder dress, making it an excellent option for a daytime bridal shower. We’re obsessed with how the gathered details at the bodice contrast with the simple, delicate spaghetti straps underneath, and we’ll never be against a drop-waist silhouette.

Minidresses make the perfect attire for party-centered events like bachelorettes and second looks for the reception, and we’re particularly fond of this off-the-shoulder option. This Alfred Sung piece brings all the drama with its bow-adorned sleeves and gorgeous corset bodice.

The prominent slit and ruffled off-the-shoulder sleeves give this gown a unique feel, while its simple, form-fitting silhouette keeps it classy and perfectly formal for any wedding-related event on your schedule. We imagine it with a sleek, heeled sandal for spring wedding season.

Fans of plissé textures will covet this dress for their bridal wardrobe. The layered ruffle off-the-shoulder detail offers a stunning contrast to the thin ribbing of the rest of the dress, while the back slit ensures you’ll feel comfortable wearing it for any event.
