There are fewer sartorial situations as tricky to navigate as getting dressed for a wedding. It's in these times that we turn to our favourite (and most stylish) stars to offer up some inspiration and, as always, Amal Clooney proved more than up to the task...
Amal attended Harry and Meghan's nuptials wearing a custom Stella McCartney midi dress. With its cap-sleeves, cinched-in waist and pencil skirt silhouette, Amal's dress is as flattering as it is fabulous! We love the high-low detail to the bottom of the dress; adding a touch of playful tailoring to an otherwise classic shape.
Want to emulate Amal? We've made it easy for you by rallying up similar dresses from your favourite brands. From Carolina Herrera's doppelganger dress to Pretty Kitty's vintage offering, we've got something to suit every style and budget.
Top off your look like Amal with a matching hat (complete with veil, of course!) and you're good to go.

36-year-old tennis pro Serena Williams was seen laughing happily as she arrived at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle for the wedding, along with her husband Alexis Ohanian, 35.
Wearing a dusty pink dress, along with a matching fascinator, Serena made a chic arrival at the ceremony, where she put on a happy and relaxed display for the waiting crowds and photographers, laughing uproariously as she and Alexis made their way into the chapel ahead of the start of the service. 
Serena paired her asymmetrical Versace dress with a pair of nude heels, a small silver clutch bag, a chunky metallic necklace, and a large peach-colored fascinator.
The mother-of-one shared several snaps of her ensemble on her Instagram account before heading off to the chapel for the ceremony, posing solo at first in the pale pink dress, which flattered her figure perfectly, emphasizing her curves and her slim waist.
She paired the dress with a pair of matching pale pink shoes, that had a pointed toe and a chunky heel, no doubt making for a more comfortable stroll down the path to the chapel.

The group were nominated by the nine regional Lord Lieutenant offices after Harry and Meghan asked for those picked to come from a broad range of backgrounds and ages, including young people who have shown strong leadership. 
They filed past the huge crowds who have flooded the streets of Windsor to watch the couple arrive and a carriage procession they will take part in after the wedding service.  
Tom Moss, 23, was chosen to represent scouting in Staffordshire and brought his mother Vicki along.
He said he is a big fan of the couple, adding: 'I think Harry's down-to-earth, and all the charity work that he does as well. It makes a massive impact. A good role model for younger people as well.'
His mother said the outing is 'just absolutely amazing', adding: 'We just can't believe it, can we, that we've had this opportunity.'
She said it was a 'once in a lifetime' event.
Another young man having a day out with his mum is Jack Al-Alawi, 16, from Birmingham, who was chosen for being a volunteer police cadet.
'Now I'm here it's very exciting, much more special,' he said.
