Back in the golden age of Hollywood,Elizabeth Taylorwas the epitome of glamour.
It’s not that Taylor never settled down rather, she settled down eight separate times.
That’s right Elizabeth Taylor had eight different weddings.
And, naturally, as a Hollywood star, she had a gorgeous wedding dress for each occasion.
Let’s take a look at each of Elizabeth Taylor’s wedding dresses over the years.
Taylor decided not to wear another extravagant white gown for her second wedding.
Though her second dress was very different from her first, both were designed by MGM’s Helen Rose.
The pair married in Mexico in an intimate beachside civil ceremony that was performed by the mayor of Acapulco.
The elegant dress featured a ruched look that gathered in the center of the chest in a wide V-neck.
This dress also featured a straighter skirt than her previous two wedding gowns.
“He knows he wasn’t the love of my life.
“But we loved each other.
We got along wonderfully until he decided to be a politician.
And then he married the Senate.”
The pair parted ways in 1982.
“It was hard for her to find a guy.
Larry was a regular guy and that’s what she loved.”
Of the wedding itself, Fortensky said, “She wanted to do it.
I didn’t get involved at all.
I just had to turn up.”
The couple divorced after five years of marriage.
For her final wedding, Taylor returned to tradition with a classic bridal gown.
Taylor then directed these earnings toward the newly-minted Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation.
Fisher had previously been married to the actor Debbie Reynolds, who was also Taylor’s best friend.
Fisher and Taylor married in a Jewish ceremony in 1959.
The dark olive sheer gown featured a knee-length layered chiffon skirt and a matching hood.
However,they tied the knot for a second timeafter a brief break in 1975.
This second wedding took place while they were on holiday in Botswana, South Africa.
It was a small affair with only a couple of witnesses.
Even though they gave their relationship another try, they ended up divorcing again just one year later.
Taylor later said, “We had a good marriage.
Something went wrong, but we’re still good friends.
I know I did everything in my power to make the marriage work,” (viaBBC).
With its long, flowing cape, feathers, and beading details, this was a real flower-child-inspired dress.
The pair wed in 1950, but according to some sources, it was something of a sham marriage.
The pair divorced less than one year later when Taylor was still only 18.
The look was completed with a dramatic veil held in place with a tiny tiara.
The dress was designed by MGM costume designer Helen Rose and was a gift from the studio.
Taylor’s fifth wedding: Richard Burton
Richard Burton was one of Elizabeth Taylor’s most famous husbands.
Taylor’s extravagant, artistic look on her wedding day mirrored her turbulent relationship with Burton.
The iconic dress was designed by Irene Sharaff, who also designed the costumes for “Cleopatra.”
The dress was later put on auction for up to $60,000.
