The Bridal Shower

Amanda Weiner, Senior Accessories Editor
"This Altuzarra dress says understated elegance, perfect for almost any occasion, including a bridal shower. Its fitted silhouette, crew neck and longer sleeve length are slimming, but the unexpected slits feel fresh and modern."

"This Dior little black dress is just right for her rehearsal dinner, it will probably be a perfect contrast to whatever she chooses to wear for the wedding day."

"Kim and Kanye are friends of Givenchy and designer Ricardo Tisci and sit front row at many of his shows. This dress from the Fall 2014 collection was a standout for the coming season and a perfect amount of drama for the night before the wedding."

The Wedding Day

“Riccardo Tisci famously referred to Kim as the 'Marilyn Monroe of our age', and the super-celeb has worn her fair share of Givenchy from the red carpet to the street. Which is why I feel pretty good about placing my bets on Tisci for the Big Day. I love this off-the-shoulder couture gown he did for Spring 2012. It reminds me of Kim in that it has a flair for the dramatic but also will show off her famous curves. I say pull it out of the archives!”

The Wedding Day

Kerry Pieri, Senior Digital Editor
"Call me a traditionalist, but I really don't think wedding number 3 calls for white. Kim's already had her princess bride moment(s), which is why I think it's time for her fashion moment. She's embraced high fashion and her betrothed is committed to it and what could illustrate that devotion more beautifully than this feathered, high-necked breathtaking gown from Sarah Burton's first collection for McQueen. And it's light gray."

The Wedding Day

Chrissy Rutherford, Digital Editor
"While Kim tends to be very trendy from day-to-day, I envision her as a romantic bride, especially when getting married in the City of Love. Olivier Theyksens was a true master of romantic fashion during his tenure at Rochas. This exquisite beaded and ruffled gown immediately came to mind."

The Wedding Day

Sarah Lindig, Associate Digital Editor
"It may be a long shot, but I’d love to see Kim in something understated and timelesson her wedding day. This Carolina Herrera gown is fitted and flattering for Kim's feminine form, but with an old-fashioned appeal that makes it entirely classic."
"Kim probably shouldn't wear all white—it's her third wedding, after all. And this floral Giambattista Valli gown has a sizeable slit, which is perfect. Because she's Kim, after all."

The Wedding Exit Look

Joyann King, Digital Director
“After my statement wedding dress prediction, I would like to see Kim in something more classic for her wedding exit look. A Jackie O. tweed suit from Chanel would stand the test of time that this photograph requires.”

The After Party

Megan Reynolds, Senior Shopping Editor
"While Kim's strictly body con past has subsided, her sex appeal hasn't. I think her after party dress will be something she can dance in while showing off her stereotype-shattering figure."

The Morning After Brunch

"A day after brunch in Paris calls for Balenciaga, and this streamlined turtleneck look says proper married lady in the best way possible."
