Bianca Jagger is a model and social rights activist. Her marriage to Mick Jagger didn’t start out that great. According to Honey Nine, she refused to sign a 28-page pre-nuptial agreement before the ceremony.

She famously retired to the honeymoon suite alone while Jagger continued to party into the early hours of the morning at their wedding reception. She later told the New York Daily News: “My marriage was over on the wedding day.”

Madonna and Sean Penn were the epitome of an 80s superstar couple. They were married on the “Queen of Pop’s” 27th birthday in 1985. They had a bit of an on-again, off-again marriage when Madonna requested divorce but changed her mind. She filed the papers again, and they separated in 1989.

Looking back on their wedding photo is like peering into a time capsule from the 1980s. Her black hat and single dangling earring were such signature looks for her. Along with the strapless wedding gown that echoed her “Like A Virgin” performance at the 1984 MTV Video Music Awards.

Madonna stole the stage in the 1980s with her first single “Like A Virgin,” which hit number one on the charts. She met Sean Penn when he visited the set of her video for the song “Material Girl” and the two hit it off.

It was love at first sight, and they would be married just 6 months later. Despite the fact that they split up, the two remain friends. When asked during a 1991 documentary who the love of her life was, Madonna whispered “Sean”.

Eric Clapton and Pattie Boyd wed in 1979, and their romance came with some juicy tabloid drama. She had been married to Clapton’s best friend, George Harrison (of The Beatles fame). Boyd left Harrison and married Clapton in a star-studded ceremony.

According to Best Classic Bands, there were no hard feelings between the friends. “I’d rather she was with him than some dope,” Harrison remarked when asked how he felt about the wedding. Despite the fact that Boyd and Clapton looked groovy when they tied the knot, their marriage ended in divorce in 1988.

Mike Tyson and Robin Givens married in 1988 after 11 months of dating. He was the undisputed boxing champion, and she was a model, making them quite the celebrity power couple. Their marriage fell apart after some allegations. They divorced exactly one year later, in 1989.

Their wedding happened with little fanfare, considering the media was so obsessed with their relationship. They wed at the Municipal Building in New York City. Givens wore a black dress and had a simple, low ponytail for her bridal hairstyle. Tyson wore a black pinstriped suit.

One of the most iconic celebrity weddings of the late 1960s was when Elvis Presley married Priscilla Wagner. The duo met when Wagner was just 14 years old and they wed when she was 21 years old, in 1967. The nuptials took place in Las Vegas, Nevada at the Alladin Hotel.

We just had to add this one to this list because of her flawless bridal style, which was indicative of the time period. From her cat-eye eyeliner to the sheer beaded sleeves of her gown, she had nothing but the best for her big day. Despite the happiness exuding from this pic, they divorced in 1973.

Meryl Streep married her husband Don Gummer in 1978 and has one of the longest-running marriages in Hollywood. They’ve been together all this time and are still going strong, which is a rare oddity for a celebrity. They are the parents of four children, Mamie, Grace, Louisa, and Henry.

Looking back at pics of their big day, Streep’s bridal gown was ever elegant and flowy, which was fashionable in the late 1970s. Not to mention her bob and effortless waves, another look that was all the rage back in the day. Although, her entire look is classic and timeless.

While this wedding pic may not be from the 70s or 80s, her bridal style was just too impeccable to pass up. Her exit look was a white mini dress paired with black go-go boots. Not to mention her adorable topsy tail hairstyle. She was absolutely beaming on her big day.

Bryan Brown and Rachel Ward met and fell in love on the set of the drama series The Thorn Birds. The couple was married shortly after meeting in 1983 and have been together ever since. They share three children, Matilda, Joe, and Rosie.

It’s obvious from the first glance that their nuptials took place in the early 1980s. From her short layered hairstyle to the lace neckline of her wedding gown, she was the epitome of the 80s bride. We love the sweet crown of flowers she wore instead of a veil. Brown wore a classic suit and tie.

Marianne Faithfull was a singer who was popular in the 1960s and was known for dating the Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, during his rise to fame. She wed Ben Brierly in 1979 and they were married for 6 years before their marriage ended in divorce in 1986.

We can’t get over just how 70s her bridal look was. She bucked tradition and wore a low-cut dress that left little to the imagination. Rather than wear a traditional bridal veil, Faithfull rocked a stylish hat instead. We love every detail about this look, down to her white lace gloves.

Diahann Carroll made history as the first African American woman to star in the popular television show Dynasty. She married crooner Vic Damone during a Las Vegas ceremony in 1987. It was the fourth wedding for both of them. Unfortunately, they decided to go their separate ways in 1996.

Carroll’s wedding look was appropriate for an older bride walking down the aisle for the 4th time. Instead of a bridal gown, she wore a white skirt and suit with puffy sleeves. Of course, she had the typical huge hair that was popular in the 1980s. A strand of pearls completed her look.

It just so happened to be the same tiara Queen Elizabeth wore when she wed Prince Phillip. The princess opted for a Tudor-inspired bridal gown with a high neck and long dramatic sleeves. Her look was incredibly chic and timeless. Yet, the marriage ended in 1991 after a long separation.

It’s easy to forget that Martin Scorsese and Isabella Rossellini were once a Hollywood power couple. They married in 1979. It was Rossellini’s first marriage and the third one for Scorsese. Their wedding was a low-key affair, and her wedding look was almost casual. They split after 3 years of marriage.

It didn’t help matters that they had a nine-year age gap between them. She was only 25 years old when they wed. Rosellini opened up to The Sun about their failed relationship, saying, “Marty and I had a wonderful marriage… If I had been older, wiser, and calmer, we might still be together.”

It doesn’t get much more 1970s than hot pants and these ladies rocked them with knee-high boots and long suit coats. Not to mention the hats that topped their ensembles. Collins made a beautiful bride in her long white gown and spiral curls. Regardless, her bridesmaids stole the show.

Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra wed in 1966 in a Las Vegas ceremony. While the wedding didn’t take place in the 70s or 80s, we had to add this amazing wedding photo because Farrow’s bridal look was just too good to overlook. From her buzz cut hair to the short white gown, she had a style all her own.

Sinatra was much older than her at the time. She was just 21 years old, and he was 50. In the end, their age difference got in the way, and their marriage only lasted two years. They divorced in 1968. Yet, we can always remember happier times with this photo of them standing by a 3-tiered cake.

Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate had quite the swinging wedding when they married in 1968. The duo tied the knot in a ceremony in Chelsea, London, and by the looks of their wedding pic, love was in the air that day. Tate wore a satin minidress, a crown of flowers, and 60s-influenced makeup.

Polanski looked like he’d come straight out of an Austin Powers movie in a suit with a frilly lace cravat. Sadly, their marriage was cut short when Tate was tragically killed in Polanski’s Los Angeles home. Which makes this happy wedding photo seem even more poignant.
