Several of Kitty Spencer's wedding dresses reminded me of Princess Diana.

Kitty Spencer (opens in new tab) tied the knot with 62-year-old fashion mogul Michael Lewis in a lavish wedding in Frascati, Italy, earlier this month. On this sunny day, the 30-year-old model wore five dresses (opens in new tab), all of which were custom-made by Dolce & Gabbana (which is no surprise, of course, since Spencer is the brand's global ambassador).

For the actual walk down the aisle, Spencer opted for a lace-embellished Victorian-inspired dress, which she wore with a "Hello! Hello!" (magazine (opens in new tab) (opens in new tab), however, this dress also shared some details with the David and Elizabeth Emanuel dress that her late aunt, Princess Diana, wore to the 1981 royal wedding (opens in new tab). shared some details with the David and Elizabeth Emanuel dress worn by her aunt, Princess Diana, at the 1981 royal wedding (opens new tab).

Hello! noted similarities between the two dresses, including puff sleeves, a long train/veil, and intricate lace detailing. Whether these are a nod to Princess Diana's gown or simply proof of the inherited iconic style sense of Mr. and Mrs. Spencer, the similarities are still quite sweet.

In an interview with Tatler (opens in new tab), dress designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana discussed the more obvious inspiration for the Spencer's wedding look.

"One of the inspirations is definitely her love for Italy," Dolce said. Kitty is in love with our beautiful country and its rich history, art, and culture."

Gabbana added, "But she is also a girl who is very attached to her origins in England, to her great Victorian heritage. And like all English people, she has a great passion for flowers of all kinds."
