Britney Spears and her longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari got married Thursday night during an intimate wedding ceremony hosted at the couple’s home in Los Angeles.
Spears wore a custom Versace gown for her wedding, wearing an off-the-shoulder corset-like gown paired with a short veil and sheer gloves. The gown was made with a portrait neckline that wrapped around the shoulders and came together with a series of pearl buttons. According to the design house, it took 700 hours to create the custom wedding dress.
Asghari also wore a custom tuxedo by Versace for the wedding. Spears had previously announced on her Instagram shortly after her engagement that she would be wearing Versace for the wedding.

Versace also released a statement on creating the wedding dress, stating: “Since we first met, Britney has always had a very special place in my heart. Seeing her free, happy and now getting married puts a smile on my face. Designing Britney and Sam’s wedding outfits came naturally to me. A tremendous amount of love was poured into every detail. Together with our Atelier, we created a gown and tuxedo that exudes elegance and glamour. They look just perfect together.”
Spears also released a statement on the wedding dress, stating: “I am so grateful to Donatella Versace for creating my dress. She has created so many beautiful dresses for me over the years and I know she would take the time to make it just perfect. I went for one that made me feel modern, yet timeless. She helped me feel so special on my wedding day and I will cherish this forever.”
In addition to her Versace wedding gown, Spears wore more than 62 carats of diamonds from Stephanie Gottlieb. Spears sported the Stephanie Gottlieb Round Diamond and Pear Shape Drop Earrings, the Heart Shaped Diamond Tennis Necklace and the Oval Diamond Tennis Bracelet. The jeweler also created custom wedding bands for the couple.
The couple seemingly went with a fairy-tale theme for the wedding, decorating the outside of their home with a Cinderella-esque horse carriage decorated with light pink flowers.

Spears and Asghari have been together publicly since 2017 and became engaged last September, just a few months before the musician’s father’s 13-year conservatorship finally came to an end. Due to the fallout between Spears and her family, the musician’s parents and sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, did not attend the wedding.
Spears’ conservatorship battle captivated the public and spurred the #FreeBritney movement where fans advocated for the musician’s freedom. The conservatorship battle was the subject of Netflix’s “Britney vs Spears” documentary, which gave an inside look at the court case. The documentary came after the release of two New York Times documentaries also focusing on Spears’ conservatorship, called “Framing Britney Spears” and “Controlling Britney Spears.”
