Celebrities often spend so much time in the makeup chair that they become close friends with their glam squad members, and that's definitely the case with Lady Gaga and her pro, Sarah Tanno. The Global Artistry Director for Marc Jacobs Beauty and Haus Laboratories co-founder got married in Mexico this weekend, and her celebrity bridesmaid wore a pretty pink Jonathan Simkhai slip dress with matching pink hair. Gaga wrote on Instagram, “Two of my best friends just got married. Time to party!”

Bestie Julianne Hough's wedding marked Nina's first time being a bridesmaid, and it did not disappoint: "It was absolutely breathtaking and perfect,” she tells PeopleStyle of the experience.

MARY-KATE OLSEN & ASHLEY OLSEN

When the bride says "wear floral," you wear floral - even if you're an Olsen with a longtime devotee to all-black everything. (They opted for vintage, kimono-y attire, however - they couldn't go too far off their aesthetic.)

Stassi Schroeder, Scheana Marie, Kristen Doute and Brittany Cartwright stood up for castmate Katie Maloney's wedding in silver V-neck halter gowns (that cost less than $180!) from White by Vera Wang for David's Bridal.

TAYLOR SWIFT

There are quite a few perks to having Taylor as your Maid of Honor, as her childhood friend Britany Maack found out. Not only do you get an incredibly heartfelt speech, but you also get an impromptu wedding singer, someone to call in a custom gown for you (they're both in Reem Acra) and someone to bring a Vogue reporter along to document the whole day.
