2011's
Bridesmaids was one of the last movies I watched where I almost split my sides and was literally gasping for breath from laughing so much, so I was extremely excited to see these original outfits from the hit female cast comedy on display at
Universal Studios Hollywood on January 23, 2014.
Original Bridesmaids movie costumes on display
It seems only fitting that for a film about someone getting married there should be at least one wedding dress on display, and since
Melissa McCarthy stole the show in her breakout performance as
'Megan', it's great to also see one of her outfits as part of the
NBC Universal Experience exhibit in the theme park's
Lower Lot.

In the romantic comedy written by
Kristen Wiig and
Annie Mumolo,
Melissa McCarthy plays the scene-stealing future sister-in-law,
'Megan', of bride-to-be,
'Lillian' (
Maya Rudolph).
Outfit worn by Melissa McCarthy as Megan in Bridesmaids
The actress wears this outfit when she has a heart to heart with
Kristin Wiig's character
'Annie Walker', and confesses that taking nine puppy bridal shower favours may have been three too many.
Original Lady St. Petsios JuJu wedding dress worn by
Maya Rudolph as Lillian Donovan in Bridesmaids
Leesa Evans was one of the
Costume Designers on the movie (alongside
Christine Wada) and was responsible for the design of
Maya Rudolph's rejected hideous wedding dress by the fictional fashion designer,
'Lady St. Petsios JuJu'.
If this gown isn't your style, maybe you should check out this
wedding dress from 1991's Father of the Bride,
Mia Wasikowska's period wedding dress from 2011's Jane Eyre or maybe even the otherworldly
Dejah Thoris wedding outfit from John Carter.
I'm not the biggest fans of comedies, but seeing these original costumes from
Bridesmaids was a real treat and made me want to watch the movie again and revisit those funny characters.
Watch the movie now:
