Kourtney, 43, was pictured walking hand-in-hand with her fiancé Travis, 46, as they kicked off their pre-wedding celebrations. The mother-of-three wore a thigh-skimming black mini dress from Dolce & Gabanna, complete with sweetheart neckline, elegant opera gloves and a striking appliqué of the Virgin Mary on the bodice.

Fans on TikTok were seriously divided over Kourtney's unusual bridal attire, and were quick to leave their hot takes in the comments section of a fan's video.

"The theme is not it, it's giving Halloween and doesn't fit the Italian summer vibe," wrote one fan, as another commented: "It feels very Addams Family".

"I love the drama," voiced a third fan, while another noted: "This is fully a Dolce and Gabbana wedding, Kourt is wearing a black version of the D&G dress she wore to their small ceremony last week."

The MailOnline revealed Kourtney and Travis will tie the knot on Sunday on the secluded terrace of the ancient Castello Brown fortress.

Final preparations were underway over the weekend to prepare the romantic venue in the Italian village of Portofino. The wedding will be the third for the couple, after their whirlwind "practice" ceremony in Las Vegas last month, which was followed by their legally-binding ceremony in Santa Barbara.

It is predicted Kourtney's wedding dress will also be designed by Dolce & Gabbana. At her last ceremony, the star stepped out in a Dolce & Gabbana lace bustier dress which she customised to include a gold and red heart motif on her bodice.

We've tracked down the mini, and it is available to buy in sizes XS to 4XL for $1,825 (£1,200) – which is very reasonable considering the average UK bride spends $1,609 (£1,313) on her gown, according to Hitched.

The bride accessorised with sheer gloves and a matching veil which was fastened to her elegant updo. The couple both wore matching burgundy velvet shoes, and Travis paired his pop of colour with a black suit and sunglasses.
