PRINCESS Diana's niece Lady Kitty Spencer has married her billionaire fiance Michael Lewis in a lavish Italian ceremony.
The bride, 30, and groom, 62, exchanged their vows in front of their high-society guests at the Villa Aldobrandini last night which boasts stunning views of Rome.
As Lady Kitty has modelled for Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana since 2017, it'll come as no surprise that they designed the her dress.
Taking style notes from Kate Middleton and Princess Beatrice, the bride opted for a long-sleeved lace gown with trendy puff sleeves.
She completed her stunning bridal look with a sheer white veil and styled her blonde hair into a low bun.
The newlyweds kicked off the celebrations on Friday night with a party in Rome attended by their aristocratic guests before their sunset ceremony yesterday.
Lady Kitty's twin sisters Eliza and Amelia jetted out for their sibling's big day alongside Viscountess Emma Weymouth and her husband Ceawlin Thynn.
However, there were also a few celebrity names on the star-studded guest list too - including Pixie Lott, Made in Chelsea's Mark Vandelli and Idris Elba's wife Sabrina.
What's more, Michael Lewis' three sons from his previous marriage to Leola Lewis were also in attendance and have reportedly forged a close relationship with their new stepmum.
The billionaire fashion tycoon is the chairman of South African Foschini group and owns the high street shops Whistles and Phase Eight.
As the evening reception unfolded, guests shared sneak peeks of the wedding on Instagram - including photos of the rustic floral displays which adorned the venue and the bespoke arches framing the stage.
And the couple's night went out with a bang as they splashed out on a private fireworks display before calling it a night.
When she was appointed as the brand's global ambassador earlier this year, Lady Kitty gushed about how their luxury clothes made her feel.
She said: "When I wear their pieces, I feel their passion and I feel like the best version of myself."
