Here are 19 times celebs rewore or repurposed their wedding looks:
1. In 2024, the dress that Brooke Shields wore to her 1997 wedding to her first husband, Andre Agassi, found new life as her daughter Grier Henchy's high school graduation dress.
2. When Kaley Cuoco married Ryan Sweeting in 2013, she wore this pink Vera Wang ballgown.
Two years later, she rewore it in Aloe Blac's "Can You Do This" music video, which she appeared in alongside her The Wedding Ringer costars.
