The bride wore the pants! Celebrities who shunned the big white dress on their wedding day

For many modern brides, the traditional, big white wedding is starting to feel a little cliché.

So women are starting to do things a little differently when they walk down the aisle these days, often choosing to forgo the poofy gown in favour of a sleek, feminine jumpsuit.

It makes total sense when you think about it. They wear the pants – both figuratively and literally – in their work and personal lives most of the time, so why not also wear them on the most important day of their lives?

Sometimes, they might choose to wear a traditional dress for the ceremony, but then choose to slip into a slinkier number for the reception later on.

We absolutely love this trend, though the only downside of a jumpsuit is trying to go to the bathroom after drinking all that Champagne!

While they might be hard to spot, the shorts were essential under the sheer tulle skirt to protect Olivia’s modesty.
