She also paired her wedding dresses with interesting accessories like sweeping hoods, floral hair accessories and stunning jewelry.

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: For her first wedding to Hilton at just 18 years old, Taylor opted for a classic wedding dress. She wore a cream-colored satin gown designed by Helen Rose.

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: At her second wedding to English actor Michael Wilding, who was 20 years her senior, Taylor opted for a more serious and less glamorous look that was also designed by Rose. Instead of a gown, she wore a sophisticated suit, which featured a tea-length, A-line skirt.

Taylor and Wilding were married for nearly five years before divorcing in 1957. During their marriage, they had two boys together, Michael and Christopher.

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: Not long after divorcing Wilding, Taylor married Hollywood producer Michael Todd, who she would later refer to as the great love of her life. In her 1988 autobiography Elizabeth Takes Off, Taylor wrote, “God, I loved him. My self-esteem, my image, everything soared under his exuberant, loving care.”

Just a year later, in March 1958, Todd tragically died in a plane accident on a flight in his private plane, which was named after Taylor. The actress and Todd shared one daughter, Liza.

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: After Todd died, Fisher, one of his closest friends, stayed by Taylor’s side to comfort her. It wasn’t long before Taylor and Fisher began having an affair, which was made extra scandalous by the fact that Fisher was married to Reynolds, who was Taylor’s best friend.

A year after Todd’s plane crash, Taylor and Fisher got married. Fisher divorced Reynolds and gifted Taylor a 40-carat engagement bracelet instead of a ring. Taylor converted to Judaism, and the two got married at Temple Beth Shalom in Las Vegas in 1959.

Taylor opted for a very non-traditional wedding look, wearing a green silk dress that featured sheer sleeves and a hood with a full skirt.

The couple stayed together until 1964.

5-Taylor’s yellow dress to marry Richard Burton on March 15, 1964

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: About five years after marrying Fisher, Taylor ended things while having an affair with Welsh actor Richard Burton. The two met on the set of Cleopatra and got married just nine days after Taylor and Fisher ended their marriage.

Taylor and Burton remained married for 10 years before divorcing, making her first marriage with Burton her longest.

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: No, that’s not a mistake: Taylor and Burton divorced in 1974 and got married again a little over a year later in 1975. They tied the knot for the second time in Botswana.

The second marriage didn’t last long: the two divorced for the second time nine months later, in 1976.

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: For her seventh marriage, Taylor wed Sen. John Warner on Dec. 4, 1976. They had a small and intimate ceremony on his farm in Virginia. Taylor wore a purple cashmere dress and added a tweed and fur coat to stay warm. Her matching turban completed the unexpected look.

The two divorced in 1982 but remained friendly.

8-Taylor’s yellow Valentino dress to wed Larry Fortensky on Oct. 6, 1991

All Elizabeth Taylor’s Husbands: For her eighth and final wedding, Taylor tied the knot with Larry Fortensky. The ceremony, which was probably the most lavish one she had, took place at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch in California.

Although Taylor opted against wearing white, her gown still had a bridal feel. She wore a pale yellow, lace Valentino gown that was off-the-shoulder with a plunging sweetheart neckline. A full-tiered skirt completed the look. The bespoke gown was estimated to cost $25,000 and was gifted to Taylor by the designer.

The wedding had about 160 guests, with stars like Liza Minnelli, Eddie Murphy, Diane von Furstenberg and Brooke Shields in attendance.

Five years later, Taylor went through her last divorce and ended her marriage with Fortensky. He later opened up to PEOPLE about Taylor, saying, “I have wonderful memories of my time with Elizabeth, and I will treasure her memory forever. I love her. I always will. And I know she loved me, too.”

She vowed to never marry again, and she didn’t.
