8 Kardashian wedding dresses, from Kourtney and Travis Barker’s Dolce & Gabbana to Vera Wang for Kim and Khloé – and don’t underestimate Kylie and Kendall Jenner’s bridal style
Aside from the dreamy venue and the star-studded guest list (naturally), there’s another thing that everyone expected: epic fashion moments. The Kardashians are known for making headlines for what they wear. And the married ladies in the family have served looks that have become bridal inspo across the globe.
Here’s a look back on all the wedding dresses worn by the Kardashian sisters over the years.
Kourtney was all about corsets and religious symbols
Underneath her jacket, Kourtney wore a yellow corset from Versace’s autumn/winter 2012 ready-to-wear collection. The top featured a giant cross on the front – a literal sign of things to come.

For their second wedding, the couple made it all legal and official on May 15. Only a few friends and family members were there for the courthouse ceremony. This wasn’t “the” wedding yet, but it the start of Kourtney’s (and the other Kardashians’) Dolce & Gabbana parade. The fashion house reportedly sponsored the entire affair in a million-dollar deal, according to British media.
For the intimate event, Kourtney chose a Dolce & Gabbana lace bustier micro-mini dress. Customised with a gold and red heart emblem on her bodice, it matched her burgundy velvet pumps. The Poosh founder finished the look with sheer gloves and a matching veil. Her beau also wore burgundy velvet shoes with a black suit and sunnies.
The couple and their cherished guests jetted off to Italy for celebrations starting on the weekend of May 20. The bride and all the Kardashians were pictured in Dolce & Gabbana gowns from the welcome dinner to the pre-wedding lunch.
With a totally goth bride vibe, for the pre-wedding lunch, Kourtney wore something very similar to the Madonna tunic dress that Kim donned in 2017. Kourtney paired it with long black gloves and heeled sandals. Cobalt blue details on her black veil and the custom Virgin Mary appliqué on the bodice brought pops of colour to her ensemble.
Kourtney’s black dress was an archival piece from the D&G spring/summer 1998 collection. Barker followed suit with a Dolce & Gabbana outfit for the ceremony.
For her “I do” moment, the new Mrs Barker wore a Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda lace and satin corset mini dress. Designed by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana themselves, the couture piece is one-of-a-kind and inspired by iconic Italian lingerie. Kourt was a true vision in white with a pair of tulle gloves and lace pumps to match her one-of-a-kind gown.

And remember the Virgin Mary emblem from her black pre-wedding lunch dress? For the ceremony, her extravagant tulle veil featured the religious image as well. The hand-embroidered lace was surrounded by flowers of Portofino.
The veil’s eccentric design is a replica of one of the groom’s tattoos. Below the Virgin Mary image on his head reads: “family loyalty respect”.
For the reception, the newlyweds switched to black outfits with matching white leather jackets.
Kim unexpectedly went with understated elegance every time
While Kourtney had three weddings to Barker, her sister Kim also had three legal weddings before – but to different men. The first one was in 2000 when she eloped with music producer Damon Thomas. This was pre-KUWTK and Kim claimed it happened while she was on recreational drugs, according to US Weekly, which is probably why there weren’t any pictures of them then.
Kim’s second husband was Kris Humphries, an NBA player, who Kim wed in 2011. This was a very public relationship and the wedding was televised, so fans of the early KUWTK era would be very familiar with the fairy tale nuptials.
Kim wore three Vera Wang gowns. The first was a classic ivory ball gown fit for a royal princess for the ceremony. For the reception, she first switched to a mermaid gown with a long train of organza leaves and petals on the skirt. Lastly, she changed into a V-neck number made of satin.

Meanwhile, the bridesmaids all wore white silk organza mermaid gowns, according to E! The couple’s 72-day marriage happened before Kim joined Instagram.
The make-up mogul’s third wedding in 2014 is much more familiar, as it was with rapper Kanye West. The ceremony began with lunch in Paris and a rehearsal dinner, with the couple flying their guests to Florence, Italy the following morning for the main affair. The wedding reportedly cost a whopping US$2.8 million.
In 2020, Kim posted throwback photos of her wedding dress fitting, which was the work of Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci. The gown featured a diamond-shaped bodice with cut-out details, long lace sleeves and a gorgeous cathedral veil.
Khloé rocked a classic silhouette
As many Kardashian fans know, Khloé’s longest relationship yet was her marriage with professional basketball player Lamar Odom. They dated for only a month before they tied the knot, with their marriage lasting from 2009 to 2016. However, they were separated for the last three years.
Their wedding wasn’t as lavish as Kim’s weddings and Kourtney’s recent ceremonies. Nonetheless, the reality show star was still clad in a chic designer gown: a mermaid silhouette with a wrapped bodice and pleated skirt, with a unique lilac satin ribbon belt with crystals. Khloé’s bridesmaids also wore a similar shade of purple.
The elegant piece is a custom Vera Wang dress.
Kylie and Kendall may not be married … but donned Insta-worthy wedding gowns
The Kardashians’ half-sisters, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, are both under 30 and have both not been married yet. However, they have worn wedding dresses to attend some events already, giving us a little glimpse of what their nuptials could entail.
