Kitty Spencer’s VERY expensive wedding wardrobe!

From the breathtaking fireworks display to the A-list venue, Lady Kitty Spencer and husband Michael Lewis spared no expense when it came to their lavish wedding in Rome last weekend. 

One expert estimated the four-day extravaganza, which included a rehearsal dinner, day-after lunch and the main event at a £20,000-a-day castle, would have cost the bride and groom in excess of £1million.   

The same is true of socialite Kitty’s stunning wardrobe, which is thought to have been worth more than £2.5million.   

Princess Diana‘s niece, 30, is the global ambassador for Dolce & Gabbana and dressed exclusively in dresses by the Italian design house for her hen do, wedding and honeymoon. 

No expense spared: Kitty’s stunning wardrobe, which is thought to have been worth more than £2.5million. The highlight was this magnificent Victorian-inspired wedding gown by D&G

For the three-day wedding, D&G created five different custom creations, including the breathtaking Victorian-inspired lace gown she wore down the aisle.

These were paired with earrings, necklaces and rings from the label’s exclusive Alta Gioielleria high jewellery collection. 

Prices for these diamond and jewel-encrusted pieces are not publicly available but start from £25,000, and raise to approximately £510,000 for top-of-the-range necklace.  

Fortunately for Kitty, it is highly unlikely she would have paid for the jewels.

‘It’s most likely she didn’t pay for these, the same as when celebrities wear red carpet jewels they are mostly lent rather than purchased,’ explained Amber Gordon of UK-based luxury personal shopping and fashion concierge service Tailored Styling, which specialises in finding one-of-a-kind pieces for shoppers. 

The same is true of the dresses.  

‘If she did it certainly would not have been the amount a regular client would have paid,’ Amber explained. ‘Dolce has heavily promoted the content and so are definitely benefitting from the partnership too.’  

Here, FEMAIL breaks down some of Kitty’s most notable looks over the last 10 days – from hen do to honeymoon.

On the day itself Kitty wore three ever-more breathtaking dresses featuring yards of lace, silk and tulle.

The star of the show was the high-necked Victorian-inspired lace gown worn for the ceremony, which was made over six months. 

It was followed by a double organza hand-painted silk gown embellished with flowers and crystals, and a glitzy gold evening dress worn to party the night away.

Amber estimates each of these creations would have cost in the region of £60,000, if not more. 

Each ensemble was finished with pieces from the high jewellery collection. It is not possible to put a price on each piece but the three necklaces could be in the region of £500,000 each. 

Even if the four sets of earrings were on the cheaper end of the pricing scale, this would bring the total value of jewellery to somewhere in the region of £2million.

Unlike the other wedding weekend dresses, this one was not full length, allowing Kitty to show off her £575 D&G Nappa leather sliders with baroque logo.
