We knew that Kanye wanted to throw a wedding on a royal scale (after all, Versailles was their number one venue choice), but we didn’t know Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were trying to emulate the royal wedding.
Reportedly, Kim has reached out to Kate Middleton’s wedding dress designer Sarah Burton to create her own regal creation for the Paris-meets-Florence nuptials – and it’s going to cost $2 million!
“She has called on Sarah Burton to design one of her options,” a source tells Radar Online. “Kim wants the low-cut v-neck look that Kate had, but much lower, and she wants her gown to be tight fitting to show off her svelte figure.”
Unsurprisingly, Kardashian wants her wedding to be “the” wedding of the century, the source adds.
The price tag, of course, will match all of the other extravagant big-day details (namely the $125,000 favors). “Her gown is estimated to cost $2 million,” the sources says. “And no one will see the gown until she walks down the aisle. There are three gowns that were made just for her and she hasn’t even decided yet between them.”
Kim’s not the only one who will be decked out in costly designer duds at her wedding – designer Michael Costello tells Us Weekly that the reality star tapped him to craft “Marie Antoinette-like” gowns for her closest gal pals, including Brittny Gastineau, Larsa Pippen, Blac Chyna, and Carla Dibello.
Costello says there was some friendly competition amongst the ladies. “They wanted to look their best,” Costello notes. “I think they just all want to show up and shut it down. They want to be there for Kim, but they want to look their absolute best.”
And to keep with the theme of extreme secrecy, Costello is designing multiple looks for each girl. “We’re not just making one dress, we’re making two for each girl,” the designer says. “They’re all very romantic, really beautiful, structured silhouettes.”
We’ll have to keep a lookout for not only Kimmie’s dress come the big day, but her guests’ wears as well!
