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.
