Iconic 1960s designer John Bates designed this red velvet wedding dress that Cilla Black wore to marry Bobby Willis, way back in 1969. Always eager to make an impression, it is a stark difference to the conventional white worn by brides on their big day.

The choice of red wasn’t a gimmick: the two were married for more than 30 years, way up until his death in 1999. Cilla died 16 years later, in 2015, after falling and hitting her head.
