When Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker celebrated their wedding in Portofino, Italy, in May 2022, the event became a definitive showcase for archival fashion.
The Kardashian-Jenner family arrived in the coastal village wearing a curated collection of vintage Dolce & Gabbana, blending gothic romance with Mediterranean style.
The weekend-long celebration followed the couple’s Las Vegas “practice” run and a legal ceremony in Santa Barbara. However, it was the Italian festivities that truly set the tone for the family’s shift toward high-fashion nostalgia, particularly through their choice of statement footwear and runway relics.

Their guests, comprising family and close friends, were pictured boarding the Regina D’Italia, a yacht previously owned by Dolce & Gabbana, en route to the pre-nuptial lunch at The Abbey of San Fruttuoso.
Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker: Gothic Archival Style
Mr. and Mrs. Barker opted for coordinating gothic looks, with Travis in a full-length long-sleeved black robe and a silver chain necklace, and Kourtney in a black mini dress from Dolce & Gabbana’s Spring/Summer 1998 collection.

The television personality showcased her legs in the tiny vintage piece, which featured an embellished image of the Virgin Mary on the front. She styled the look with a short black veil trimmed in blue lace, elegant black opera gloves, and sleek black open-toe heels.

For the evening celebration, the petite socialite made sure to turn heads in a risqué sheer red maxi dress from the fashion house’s Spring/Summer 1998 collection.
Showcasing her curves, the dress featured a bodysuit with a cowl neckline and a see-through sheer maxi skirt. She skipped the jewelry to allow her sultry outfit to do the talking and simply added a red fur stole around her shoulders.

Boosting her height by a few inches, Kourtney rounded out her head-to-toe red ensemble with red sandals from Dolce & Gabbana. These sandals are embellished with pink flowers and crystals at the heel and feature a strappy design set atop a 4-inch heel.
Meanwhile, her husband, Travis, flaunted his body tattoos beneath an open black jacket with sequined trim. He paired it with black trousers, black shoes, and D&G sunglasses.

Kim Kardashian: Sheer Silhouettes and Barefoot Harbor Walks
The Skims founder attended the occasion without her boyfriend, Pete Davidson, who recently bid farewell to Saturday Night Live after eight seasons.
Showing off her hourglass curves, Kim wore a form-fitting black maxi dress with a sheer overlay, an asymmetric one-shoulder neckline, and sheer long sleeves.
She wore a black bra underneath and finished off her look with two silver cross necklaces and a pair of black heels with thin crisscross straps.
The television personality was later pictured walking barefoot along the harbor, with her stilettos in one hand.

Continuing with the dark theme of her look, the reality TV star styled her newly dyed platinum locks straight and glammed up with eyeliner and nude lipstick.
Kim held hands with her eldest child as she made her way to the yacht. North West wore a peach corset over a nude shirt paired with pink lace trousers and a fur-trimmed longline sheer coat.
With her long tresses braided, she accessorized her look with a massive pair of dangling earrings, a cross pendant necklace, an embellished clutch, and a pair of white sneakers.

For the Friday dinner, Kim put on a busty display in a Spring 1991 gray cutout suit that featured a crisscross halter top, half sleeves, and fitted leggings that covered her pointy heels.
She wore her platinum hair down and opted for her signature makeup look that included a swipe of matte nude lipstick.

Khloé Kardashian: Earth Tones and Emilio Pucci Statement Boots
Khloé, who had recently attended her first-ever Met Gala, showcased her slimmer figure in a super-tight chocolate brown bodycon mini dress.
The tan number featured a cleavage-baring Bardot-style neckline, a sexy underbust cutout, long sleeves, and a thigh-skimming hem.

She carried a large leopard-print tote that matched the leopard-print scarf wrapped around her waist and boosted her height in a pair of Emilio Pucci Spring 2011 thigh-high tan suede boots with a lace-up front and peep toes.
The Good American founder wore her blonde tresses in beach waves and added a swipe of nude lipstick to her beauty look.
She glammed up with chunky gold earrings, matching gold cuff bangles, and two gold necklaces, including a Tiffany & Co. cross pendant necklace.

The day before, Khloe displayed her wild side in a two-piece leopard print Dolce & Gabbana ensemble. She highlighted her cleavage and trimmed waist in a 1998 bustier corset top, which she paired with a 1997 leopard-print maxi skirt.
Her tresses were swept back into a bun while her features were highlighted with bronzed makeup.

To amp up the look, True’s mom accessorized with large cross earrings, layered necklaces, a bracelet, and several rings. She carried a black alligator Hermes Kelly pochette bag and hid her eyes behind black sunnies.

A pair of Tom Ford “Padlock” sandals rounded out her evening look. These sandals feature open toes, metal stiletto heels, and are defined by the gold padlock charm on the ankle straps.

Kendall Jenner: Floral Prints and Dolce & Gabbana ‘Keira’ Sandals
Also wearing an archival Dolce & Gabbana look was supermodel Kendall Jenner.
The 818 Tequila founder highlighted her slender figure in a sleek two-piece tan floral outfit from the Italian luxury fashion house’s Spring 1997 collection. It featured a fitted midi skirt that clung perfectly to her frame and a matching blouse that gave a glimpse of her toned abs.

Keeping things classy, the rich model accessorized with a Dolce & Gabbana Tradition pendant necklace in yellow 18k gold and shielded her eyes behind black rectangular sunglasses.
Wearing a swipe of red lipstick, Kendall carried a ’90s small textured-leather bag from The Row and slipped her feet into a pair of beige satin “Keira” heels from Dolce & Gabbana’s new Foundation line.
These elegant sandals feature thin crossover straps, wraparound ankle straps, and 4-inch stiletto heels.

For her dinner party outfit, Kendall flaunted her model legs in a Spring 1995 strapless black dress with a see-through tulle skirt.
She styled the gothic outfit with a chunky studded red cross choker and completed the look with open-toe kitten heels.
Joining her was her boyfriend, NBA star Devin Booker, who looked dapper in an all-black outfit that included a tee, a jacket, trousers, and black boots.

Kylie Jenner: Rose Prints and Gianvito Rossi Clear Plexi Flats
Like her sister Kendall, Kylie also chose a floral look for the pre-wedding lunch. She slipped her hourglass figure in a form-fitting floral pin-up dress from the label’s ‘90s collection.
The silk-satin taupe number had red rose prints, a square neckline, and thin spaghetti straps. She paired the look with white cat-eye sunnies and a Dolce & Gabbana natural-wicker-and-leather box bag.
Kylie brought her four-year-old daughter, Stormi, whom she shares with Travis Scott. She wore a summery white Dolce & Gabbana dress paired with white Nike sneakers.

For her beauty look, the beauty mogul wore her long raven tresses straight and painted her plumper lips with bold red lipstick.
She then added a large pair of drop earrings and completed her summery outfit with barely-there flat sandals from Gianvito Rossi.

The “Metropolis” slingback sandals are handmade in Italy and feature clear Plexi straps, open toes, and leather soles.

On Friday evening, Kylie headed to Ristorante Puny in a full Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2001 look.
She showcased her curves in a fitted black halter dress cut above her knees, paired with striped leather knee-high stiletto boots and a matching black-and-white striped bag.
