I bought a dupe of Kourtney Kardashian’s $1,900 D&G wedding dress – it was definitely NSFW
KOURTNEY Kardashian and Travis Barker’s Italian wedding was the event seen around the world this May.
The internet was obsessing over the entire event, but one detail created split opinions among fans: Kourtney’s wedding dress.

One YouTuber named Hope Allen, whose channel has over 2 million subscribers, loved Kourtney’s non-traditional short dress and decided to order a cheaper dupe.
“I think the contrast of the short dress with that huge veil is stunning,” she said.
Revealing that the designer of Kourtney's was Dolce and Gabbana, Hope added that the dress reportedly cost around $2,000 – though she believes it was likely way more than that given the famous designer tag.
“Let’s see if our replica can live up to the grandeur of this look.”

Hope got her look-a-like dress from a local designer called .
Her dupe definitely resembled the reality TV star’s look: it had a sheer corset with lace floral details, long gloves, and a dramatic veil.
“Incredibly well made.
“I am really impressed. So beautiful.”

The only problem was that the dress was a little too see-through for her liking. She decided to add nude shape wear underneath, which made the dress significantly less chic.
“But, this dress with a white bodysuit underneath, I think, would actually create a really similar look [to Kourtney’s].”
Because Hope got a bundle deal from Arin Concept for a few dresses, she did not know exactly how much this one cost individually. But, she said, the dresses on their website range from $500-$1,500.
“By a lot of standards, that isn’t cheap. But when it comes to couture, custom gowns, that’s actually a pretty good price.”
Next, Hope tried to replicate Ariana Grande’s dress—which was by designer extraordinaire, Vera Wang.

“Guess how much it costs? $150,000.”
Hope said that while that price might make sense for some very intricate dresses, she doesn’t understand why Grande’s simple, silk, slip dress was so expensive.
She went for a dupe instead, which she fell in love with.
“The dress is stunning. Like the top of it and the silky material.
“Why would you spend $150,000 when you can get this for a couple hundred bucks?”
The third celebrity wedding dress she imitated was Paris Hilton’s.

Hilton rocked an Oscar De La Renta gown on her big day, which was estimated to be around $25,000.
Hope said this look was her favorite out of all the celebrities, so she was excited about her dupe – which she purchased on Etsy.
The YouTuber was enamored right off the bat.
“It’s unbelievable. It’s literally exactly like it! It’s heavy too.
“For less than $1,000? Look at this detail!”
The long-sleeved, high-neck, floral dress did look just like the one the hotel heiress wore to say, “I do.”
Hope moved onto One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush next.
“This look is a Monique Lhuillier. It costs $3,000-$9,000.”
Bush's dress was extremely unique: with an off-the-shoulder neckline and pattern of small flowers.
The Arin Concept dress that Hope bought resembled the dress overall, and was a good buy if you’re looking for the same vibe.

The last celebrity whose wedding dress she loved was Hailey Bieber’s.
Bieber’s dress, made by late designer Virgil Abloh, likely cost around $60,000.
Hope got her dupe from Etsy.

It was embellished with lace, beads, and pearls – making it look elevated and expensive, like Bieber’s.
The off-the-shoulder dress even included stitching that said “wedding dress” on the back, just like the star’s.
