Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer, 30, married 62-year-old millionaire fashion tycoon Michael Lewis in a lavish star-studded ceremony at a 17th century mansion in Italy on Saturday.

The wedding took place at Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, near Rome.

Lady Kitty Spencer, whose father is Earl Charles Spencer, kicked off the festivities with a trip to Florence with a group of her close girlfriends a few days prior, of which she shared a number of photos on her Instagram.

Lady Kitty wore a Dolce & Gabbana leopard print dress, and in another photo, the group donned a selection of colourful wigs.

The Italian label, for whom she is an ambassador, created five bespoke dresses for her to wear at the wedding which spanned several days.

The brand wrote on Instagram: “@kitty.spencerchose to wear Dolce&Gabbana on the most important day of her life. For this unique event,#DolceGabbana created a number of exclusive hand-made gowns, each celebrating the beauty of the bride, the passion for#AltaModa and the absolute joy of the occasion.”

Her main wedding gown was a lace Victorian-inspired gown with puffed sleeves, which she teamed with a traditional veil and long train.

Another of her looks included a baby blue tulle gown with embroidered pink flowers all over it.

In the absence of her father, Charles, Lady Kitty was walked down the aisle by her brother Louis Spencer, Viscount Althorp (27) and half-brother Samuel Aitken (18). It is not known why Charles didn’t attend the ceremony, but he revealed in an interview with MSN last month that a shoulder injury had prevented him from joining a diving expedition he was due to go on. Her twin sisters Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza spencer were also in attendance.

Sabrina Elba and Emma Weymouth, Marchioness of Bath, were both among the celebrity attendees at the star-studded bash. The pair shared photos of themselves in their gladrags on social media over the weekend.

Maye Musk, mother of Elon Musk, is also understood to have attended the nuptials.

As did Singer Pixie Lott and her fiancé Oliver Cheshire, who shared some holiday snaps of them enjoying Rome on his Instagram.

Erin Borini, the model wife of premier league footballer Fabio Borini, also made the cut and adhered to the ultra glam dress code.
