When it comes to making moments even more meaningful, and imbuing them with heritage and symbolism, few pieces can rival your bridal kimono robe. When we started designing our kimono robes, we never imagined all the beautiful stories we’d hear from our customers’ wedding days and special moments. These pieces have become part of your story, from wedding day to honeymoon to nursing to self care you can wear every single day.
That’s why we’re always so thrilled to see celebrities wearing your favorite pieces for their big days, too. (Stars, they’re just like you!) We love how our kimono robes have become a go-to bridal essential for celebrities, seeing them worn often while getting ready for the big moment. Below are a few standout weddings where stars made a statement in your favorite kimono robe styles.
Selena Gomez: A Contemporary Bride in Classic Elegance
Selena Gomez’s wedding was one of those high-profile moments that perfectly bridged glamor and intimacy. In the lead-up to her wedding ceremony, Selena was photographed wearing our Silk Keina Kimono Robe as her getting ready robe, as she prepped with her bridesmaids. The softness of the 100% Grade 6A Raw Mulberry Silk, the flattering silhouette of the robe, and the gorgeous teal color against her skin tone was absolutely stunning.
And of course, the narrative of Selena’s celebration includes one of her closest friends, Taylor Swift, who was by her side behind the scenes. The photos of their long-standing friendship adds extra warmth to the event, and seeing Taylor and Selena embrace during those special moments is a reminder that our closest friends and family are part of making your big day oh so very special. Whether you gift them their own wedding kimono robes as part of the bridal party, or simply make time to pull them aside and say thank you, your people are such an important part of your big day, and Taylor Swift was an important part of Selena’s!
Gwen Stefani: A Rock Star Wedding to Remember
Gwen Stefani has long been admired for her bold fashion choices, so when she opted for our wedding kimono robe (Peony & Bird Kimono Robe) for her wedding celebration, we were over the moon. On her own wedding morning, Gwen chose a luxuriously draped kimono robe with a liquid drape and just enough botanical flourish to suit her style. Gwen’s bridal kimono robe was a relaxed getting ready robe before the ceremony, but in white, it was part of the classic wedding day aesthetic. Her perfect-for-her choice underscores how a kimono robe isn’t just for practical pre-ceremony comfort, it can also reflect the bride’s personality and set the tone for bridal photography.
Kimberly Hidalgo: A Beautiful Bride and Bridal Party
Actress Kimberly Hidalgo spread the love to her entire bridal party, decking them out in our botanical bridesmaid kimono robes as they got ready and making sure to snap stunning photographs of the entire party wrapped in their kimono styles all together. Kimberly’s choice of the Washable Silk Kiku for her bridal kimono robe and the Peony & Butterfly for her bridal party goes to show that mixing and matching styles and colors is more than okay! There are no right answers when it comes to the styles you choose. Whatever you choose should feel right to you and will shine through your photos — trust us!
The Power of the Getting Ready Robe
These celebrity moments highlight a trend: brides and their entourages want something with intention and meaning. Every part of the day should feel like it’s adding up to that big moment, while celebrating the small ones just as much. Our bridal kimono robes photograph beautifully as you sip mimosas, apply makeup, or read cards from your partners. A getting ready kimono robe can really set the tone for grounding yourself into every moment of the day. And they look good on everyone! The inherent elegance of a kimono style cut makes it beautiful on every body type: wide sleeves, a belted waist, fluid drape, and no shoulder seams means it falls into a feminine silhouette that’s timeless and effortless. Plus, the symbolism is strong: slipping into one of these kimono robes helps shift the mood into ceremony day, cultivating a sense of ritual and intention.
Style Turns Beyond the Wedding Day
While bridal occasions make for meaningful moments, celebrities slip into their favorite kimono styles for everyday moments too! Jennifer Lopez’s warm-weather look ushered in summer for a little seasonal celebration in kitten heels and a bathing suit, covered up by our Peony & Butterfly Kimono Robe.
Why Celebrities Love to Celebrate with Bridal Kimono Robes
Our wedding kimono robes are beautiful (even if we do say so ourselves), but of all the choices celebrity brides will make about the little details of their wedding day, it’s not just the beauty that inspires them to slip into a KIM+ONO kimono robe. Here are just a few reasons why these beautiful pieces make for breathtaking bridal kimono robes:
-
They’re photogenic: The drape, the pattern, the gorgeous silk silhouette, all these design elements make our kimono robes an easy choice for a photo op.
-
They’re beautiful as sets: Gifting bridal kimono robes to their bridal parties, celeb brides love the cohesive look it gives to all their most treasured confidantes.
-
They’re luxurious and comfortable: When celebrities are getting ready for hours, in and out of the makeup chair and getting their hair style, they want fabrics that breathe and feel soft so they can stay in the moment.
-
They’re versatile beyond the wedding day: Our kimono robes can be worn after the wedding day for all the beautiful life events and occasions, reminding our brides of the happiest day of their lives.
From Selena Gomez’s beautiful bridal portraits to Gwen Stefani’s rock-meets-radiance getting ready robes to Kimberly Hidalgo’s decked out bridal party, these wedding kimono robes have become a subtle staple of celebrity wedding prep. Slipping into a getting ready robe is about entering the ceremony and day with intention, beauty, and groundedness. And we hope your wedding day is filled with all of those things, too.
