Kim Kardashian’s Wedding Dresses

Although for both her second and third trips down the aisle the reality darling opted for high-fashion, designer gowns, they couldn’t have been any more different! Strapless and voluminous or covered up in lace? Which style do you prefer?
They say third time’s a charm — and I definitely think that’s the case for Kim Kardashian! The 33-year-old looked absolutely breathtaking for her wedding ceremony at Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy on May 24, where she emerged in a stunning haute couture creation, crafted by the couple’s good friend, (and Givenchy creative director!), Riccardo Tisci. While months of speculation surrounding what the hot mama would wear for her walk down the aisle, the finished result, (which we spotted in the couple’s first official photos on E!), managed to totally exceed our expectations — and it also reminded us of yet another white dress Kim rocked in 2011.
Kim Kardashian’s Wedding Dresses — Kris Humphries V. Kanye West Dress Battle:
When Kim tied the knot and married NBA player Kris Humphries she went for a more-is-more approach in a full, strapless Vera Wang ball gown. The sexy dress allowed the star to flaunt her ample cleavage and she dressed it up with a slew of jewelry, including a diamond headpiece, which sparkled as she wore her hair slicked back. Designer Vera Wang happens to be a close friend of the Kardashians and crafted three dresses for Kim to wear while celebrating her 2011 wedding — but nothing was quite as dramatic as the dress she wore down the aisle!
Kim Kardashian’s Givenchy Wedding Dress:
While Kim went for a traditional princess approach for her 2011 wedding, her 2014 ensemble was definitely more understated and chic. Sporting a lace dress that featured long-sleeves, the mermaid silhouette hugged her svelte frame while sheer cutouts at the side and at the back added a sexy vibe to her sophisticated gown. Kim stuck to the minimal vibe by wearing her long brown hair down in a soft style, which was covered by a matching silk train that was trimmed with lace — it was simply stunning! Diamond Martin Katz studs, (a gift her new groom, Kanye West, gifted to her in 2013), finished off her ensemble.

Kim loves getting glam and I thought that for her Florence wedding she would’ve dressed over-the-top — so I was pleasantly surprised to see her opt for something more understated. Personally I loved everything about her Givenchy gown — it was head-to-toe perfection!

Kim Kardashian Wedding Dress Pictures: Long Sleeves, Lace Likened to Kate Middleton's

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West arrive at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala Benefit celebrating the opening of "Charles James: Beyond Fashion" in Upper Manhattan, New York, May 5, 2014.
Kim Kardashian wore an elegant white wedding dress during her wedding to Kanye West on Saturday and fans were quick to point out the similarities to that of Duchess Kate Middleton's.
The reality TV star, 33, opted for a long-sleeved, fitted lace number with matching long veil designed by Givenchy's Riccardo Tisci as she made her way down the aisle in Florence, Italy. Critics on social media suspect that the flattering look may have been inspired by the same Alexander McQueen gown worn by Middleton during the 2011 royal wedding
In addition to dress similarities, Kardashian clutched a small bouquet of white flowers as did Middleton in 2011. She and West were alsotransported from the ceremony via a horse-drawn carriage, much-like Middleton and Prince William were during the royal wedding.
Kardashian's aunt, Karen Houghton, revealed the E! star's plans to "replicate" the royal wedding during a recent interview.
"Kim saw how visually stunning the royal wedding looked and wants to replicate that. Kim and Kanye want something just as traditional and classy," Houghton reportedly told the Daily Mirror U.K.
"Kim saw how the fashion world has reacted to Kate and wants to be just like her," she added.
This is not the first time that Kardashian, who is renowned for being somewhat of a glamorous sex symbol, has been accused of copying Middleton's style. In 2012 West reportedly asked the reality star to adopt a more natural look like Middleton's.
"Kate Middleton has influenced [Kim's] look while in London. Kate's amazing. We watched her wedding and we thought it was beautiful. Kim's style icon is Sophia Loren," Kardashian's make-up artist Rob Scheppy told the Daily Star at the time.

"Kanye does like to get involved with Kim's look. He actually has a lot of input, he has amazing style so we take his opinions to heart and I say: 'OK, I'll try it,'" he added.

Kim Kardashian Trades Leather Outfit For Balmain Mini In Paris

The bride-to-be showed no signs of slowing down leading up to her nuptials, as she stepped out in two totally different looks while in Paris — and one was Balmain! Is she trying to give us a hint of what to expect we can see her wear when she walks down the aisle?
Kim Kardashian was out about about in Paris, yet again, on May 22, where the 33-year-old bride-to-be showed off two totally different looks — but both were tighter than ever, showing off her svelte pre-wedding figure!
Kim Kardashian’s Leather Outfit In Paris:
We first spotted Kim stepping out for a visit to the Eiffel Tower with her BFFJonathan Cheban, where she put her assets on full display in a leather outfit which consisted of a black skirt and a leather button-down. With her shirt unbuttoned just enough to give her fans a glimpse of her cleavage, she looked perfectly put together in her signature style. Her skirt hugged her curves in all the right places and a slit up the front showed a hint of her legs as she walked by. She elongated her petite frame in a pair of gold, ankle-strap sandals. She wore her dark hair sleek and straight, parted down the middle, and finished off her outfit with oversized frames. Everything about her outfit was all-leather-everything.
Kim Kardashian Balmain Dress For Paris Dinner Pre-Wedding:
We must admit, wearing leather from head-to-toe doesn’t seem like the most comfortable get-up to rock while sight-seeing, so we weren’t surprised to see Kim slip into something else for dinner with her family. The hot mama was spotted heading into Costes restaurant on Rue St. Honoré for the second night in a row, where she showed off an embellished turtleneck dress by Balmain that featured long sleeves and a floral motif at the chest. While this definitely isn’t an easy look to pull off, it looked amazing on Kim’s curves. She added some curls to the ends of her hair and amped up her beauty routine for the dinner.

Kim’s style is sexier than ever leading up to her big wedding day, and we can’t get enough of it. Did you have a favorite look on the reality darling?

That Is Not Kim Kardashian's Wedding Dress

As Kim Kardashian wedding fever sweeps the celeb-watching nation, it's no surprise that not every report is going to be 100-percent accurate when it comes to what the E! star and fiancé Kanye West are really planning for their big day.
So, for the record, the picture of Kim in what appears to be a wedding dress on the cover of the latest issue of In Touch Weekly is not a true-to-life photo, according to the bride-to-be herself.
And the other pic, of a woman's backside as she struggles to zip up a white dress, is not her in any way, shape or form!
In Touch Weekly
In Touch clarifies within its pages that the image on the cover is a "Photo recreation" of what supposedly happened to Kim at a fitting, but a reader wouldn't come across that note until he or she has reached the article inside.
Moreover, Kim already took to Twitter today to blast the latest round of wedding rumors, including the ones surrounding her dress.
"Seeing fake wedding dress pics of me. No one has seen my dress! Those photos are old or [Photoshopped]," she wrote. "That's its! Unless you hear it from us please don't believe nonsense!"
E! News was first to report that Kim had her wedding gown all picked out—and of course she isn't letting photos of herself wearing it or of the designer garment itself make the rounds!
She "beyond loves it," a source told us.

And so we shall all wait to see it. In the meantime, Kim's been doing plenty of actual dressing up in real life. She stunned in a blue Lanvin gown with a thigh-hight slit at Monday night's Met Gala, hosted by her and daughter North's new bestie Anna Wintour.
