Nevertheless the boldface names who traveled to the high-society bash included British pop star Pixie Lott and Sabrina Dhowre Elba, wife of London-born actor Idris Elba.

California-based Prince Harry may have had his hands full caring for his newborn baby, Lilibet, while his older brother was likely occupied with royal duties in the UK. Other notable absentees were Spencer’s first cousins Prince William and Prince Harry, despite the bride being a guest at their respective weddings in 20 respectively.
Kitty Spencer’s lavish Dolce & Gabbana dinner gown was hand-painted with flowers. Insiders attribute the no-show to a serious shoulder injury he recently suffered and his possible reluctance to obey Italian laws ordering visitors to the country to isolate for five days on arrival. The Earl did not walk his daughter down the aisle, and reportedly stayed home in England on the Spencers’ ancestral estate of Althorp. And it’s possible that the dissolution of her parents’ marriage contributed to the decision as well.Īnother somewhat surprising element of the wedding was the absence of the bride’s 57-year-old dad, Charles. The newest bride has not explained her reasons for skipping the tiara, but some members of the British upper class speculate it was to stop the residual heartache over Diana’s untimely death encroaching on her big day. Michael Lewis and Kitty Spencer are pictured in January 2020, shortly after their engagement.
Lady Kitty Spencer’s mother, Victoria, wore it at her 1989 union with Earl Spencer, which ended in bitter divorce.
In addition to gracing Diana’s crown, it also provided the crowning glory for Diana’s elder sisters, Lady Sarah Spencer and Lady Jane Spencer, on their wedding days. The diamond encrusted bandeau was made by the renowned British jeweler Garrard in the 1930s. This is notable because Kitty is the first-born child of Earl Spencer and duly expected to fly the Spencer flag. Indeed, to compliment one of her looks, Spencer placed a fresh floral garland in her hair.īut in an unusual break from a century-old family tradition, the bride decided not to wear the so-called “Spencer Tiara” - worn most famously by the 20-year-old Lady Diana Spencer at her ill-fated 1981 marriage to Prince Charles - to the marriage ceremony. He added: “And, like all English people, she has a great passion for all kinds of flowers.” Stefano Gabbana told Tatler that the bride’s choices were partly influenced by her love of Italy and partly because she is “a girl who is very attached to her origins, to England, to her heritage of the great Victorian era.” And while she may be “very attached to her origins,” she chose to forego the traditional Spencer Tiara, previously worn by her mother Victoria Lockwood, Princess Diana, and most recently Lady Celia McCorquodale on their wedding days.The night before her big day, Kitty Spencer wore her first of five dresses: a light blue Dolce & Gabbana floral confection. And like all the English people, she has a great passion for all kinds of flowers.” As for the other four dresses, Spencer opted for various flower-strewn couture gowns and accessories.
Designer Domenico Dolce told Tatler that Spencer wanted her main dress to be “fairly traditional” yet “timeless.” While Stefano Gabbana added that while she was inspired by her love of Italy, she is also “a girl who is very attached to her origins, to England to her heritage of the great Victorian era. For the ceremony, the bride donned a Victorian-inspired gown with dramatic peaked-shoulders, lace turtleneck, and long sleeves. For the big day, Spencer wore five different custom gowns by Dolce & Gabbana, a natural choice for the newlywed as she is a model and global ambassador for the Italian luxury brand.
