Britney Spears picks custom wedding dress by Donatella Versace worth $20K
Britney Spears and Sam Asghari are now reportedly officially a husband and a wife. For her special day, the 40-year-old songstress picked the iconic Italian fashion designer, Donatella Versace, to create her dress. It has been speculated that the wedding gown cost Spears between $15,000 and $20,000 since the same designer’s custom gown for Michelle Obama, which she wore in 2016, reportedly cost around $12,000.
As per reports, Spears and Asghari exchanged vows in a very private ceremony on Thursday, June 9, at the singer’s Thousand Oaks, California home. It has been said that the ‘Oops!... I Did It Again’ singer invited her brother Bryan for her big day but avoided her mother Lynne, father Jamie, and sister Jamie Lynn. Other big names that reportedly witnessed the wedding were Paris Hilton and her mother Kathy, and actress Drew Barrymore.

Not many details about the ceremony has been made public, but we do know a little bit about Spears’ wedding gown, courtesy Donatella herself. She told a reporter of Access Hollywood that designing her dress was “a lot of fun, a lot of emotion.” The 67-year-old sister of the late Gianni Versace also said: “I wish them the best, they're amazing together, I'm so happy for them,” as she arrived for the event in a sleeveless blue dress and a gold necklace.
According to E! News, an insider said that Spears’ “dress featured an off-the-shoulder cap sleeve and with a deep V-shaped slit in the leg, adding that she walked down the aisle to Elvis Presley's song ‘Can't Help Falling in Love.’” The outlet also added that the ‘Crossroads’ star chose jewelry from Stephanie Gottlieb and makeup by Charlotte Tilbury for her memorable day.
The Thursday wedding on June 9 unfolded in front of a small gathering of 60 guests. The two love birds had got engaged a few months ago in September 2021. In April, the couple had announced that they would soon be parents but a month later, they issued a statement that mentioned Spears had a miscarriage. The statement shared on Instagram read: “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that we have lost our miracle baby early in the pregnancy. This is a devastating time for any parent. Perhaps we should have waited to announce until we were further along. However we were overly excited to share the good news. Our love for each other is our strength. We will continue trying to expand our beautiful family. We are grateful for all of your support. We kindly ask for privacy during this difficult moment.”
Asghari had also talked about the tragedy in an interview with GQ magazine, saying: “It's something that happens to a lot of people. And one beautiful thing that I heard was when the baby's ready, it'll come. So that was a beautiful thing somebody had said was, it's a common process and the female body is just so amazing, and just the human body in general is so beautiful that it heals itself. And that when the baby's ready it'll be the right time.”
However, it was reportedly not the first time the personal trainer was supportive of Spears. Even when she was going through tough times while fighting for her freedom from conservatorship with her father Jamie Spears, Asghari was there for her. The ‘Slumber Party’ singer, praising him, had once said: “Not only has this cute a**hole been with me through both the hardest and the best years of my life but he happens to be an extremely good cook 👨🏽🍳!
