Paris Hilton, Donatella Versace and more arrive at Britney Spears’ wedding
Celebrity guests have been pictured at Britney Spears’ wedding to Sam Asghari, after a “scary” gatecrashing saga earlier in the day.
Celebrity guests have been photographed at Britney Spears’ intimate wedding to fiance Sam Asghari.
The pair tied the knot Thursday night, local time, surrounded by about 100 people made up of friends and family, according to a report from TMZ.
Guests include Donatella Versace, who designed Spears’ wedding dress, Drew Barrymore and Paris Hilton, who has publicly shown support for Britney during her conservatorship battle.
According to People, Madonna and Kathy Hilton were also among the guests, with sources revealing Britney walked down the aisle to Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love.
Hilton was photographed emerging from a car wearing black sunglasses with sparkling frames, which matched the design of her floor-length dress. Her husband, Carter Reum, was seen in the car beside her.
Meanwhile, Donatella wore a pale blue ensemble, paired with an iconic gold Versace pendant necklace, and Drew Barrymore stunned in brown with gold accessories.
After the ceremony, Asghari’s manager, Brandon Cohen, gushed over the couple.
“I am so grateful to have Sam in my life and can’t wait for the future they will build together,” he told People.
“I am very ecstatic this day has come, and they are married. I know he wanted this for so long. He is so caring and supportive every step of the way,”
It comes after reports barely any of Spears’ immediate family were invited to her third wedding.
TMZ reported Spears’ brother, Bryan, would be in attendance, but her parents and sister Jamie Lynn didn’t receive invitations after their fallout over her conservatorship battle.
Details about who would walk Britney, 40, down the aisle were still in talks when the TMZ spoke to sources.
Britney’s nuptials — and the very selective guestlist — made headlines earlier in the day after her first husband, Jason Alexander, attempted to gatecrash the event.
Bizarre scenes played out on social media today as Alexander broke into the pop star’s house and live streamed his actions to horrified fans.
He was briefly married to Britney in 2004 after a spur-of-the-moment Las Vegas ceremony.

“Someone phone the cops already,” wrote one follower who tuned in to the livestream.
“I’m so scared,” said another.
Alexander could be heard arguing with a member of staff who repeatedly ordered him to leave. “Don’t put your hands on me – where’s Britney?” Alexander asked.
Alexander was eventually apprehended by police, and was photographed being tackled on the ground by a law enforcement officer.
Britney’s lawyer, Mathew Rosengart, later confirmed he was taken into custody and arrested.
He’s not the only ex of Britney’s who didn’t score an invite, with Kevin Federline, the father of her two children, also missing out. Britney’s sons Preston, 16, and Jayden James, 15, reportedly won’t be in attendance either.
Federline’s lawyer told Page Six: “The boys are not going to be in attendance at the wedding.”
“They think the focus of this day should be on Britney and Sam, and they are very happy for her moving forward.”
Ahead of the nuptials, Spears shared video of her and Asghari, 28, riding in a Rolls-Royce where she showed off what appeared to be a bridal-themed manicure and glasses of Champagne, Page Six reports.
In November, Spears revealed that Donatella Versace would be designing her wedding dress.
Personal trainer Asghari proposed to the Crossroads star at her house in September 2021 after dating for about five years.
The pair were first romantically linked after they met on the set of the singer’s Slumber Party music video in 2016.
They took nearly “five months” to reconnect after her video shoot, Spears said in a radio interview in 2017.
“I was like, ‘He was really cute, this guy was really cute,’ so I called him,” Spears recalled about digging up his phone number. “He’s just a really fun, funny person.”
“It was the humbleness that attracted me,” he said in a GQ interview in June.
“She was very humble and she had a beautiful soul.”
Britney revealed in April that she and Asghari were expecting their first child together.
Two weeks later, Britney told fans that she suffered a miscarriage.
