These dashing gentlemen are accustomed to the spotlight, but they’re fully supportive about standing alongside their friends in weddings. The Knot rounds up celebrity groomsmen over the years, including Derek Hough, Joe Manganiello, the royals and more.
Princes Harry and William
Perhaps the most iconic best men of the decade, brothers Prince Harry and Prince William both served as groomsmen respectively in William’s 2011 nuptials to Kate Middleton and Harry’s 2018 Windsor wedding to Meghan Markle.

We can’t blame Sofia Vergara for swooning over her handsome hubby at a friend’s destination wedding back in December. The actor looked right at home in a smart, gray suit and rose boutonniere during the seaside Mexico ceremony.

When NSYNC’s Chris Kirkpatrick married his fiancee back in November 2013, he enlisted the help of his former bandmates to serve as groomsmen and ushers. Along with his Calvin Klein tux, Timberlake rocked one of his signature hats to the outdoor nuptials.
This Dancing With the Stars pro was the best man in fellow dancer Mark Ballas’ wedding. After the ceremony, Hough reflected on the memorable day. “Such an honor to be the best man at my brothers wedding,” he wrote in an Instagram post. “Witnessing their love be sealed under a beautiful Oak tree in front of family friends was such a special moment.”
