IT'S OVER THE TOP AND WE LOVE IT!

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West did NOT pull a fast one tonight and tie the knot at Versailles, they just celebrated with friends and family at the most famous palace in the world!

Guests were invited to the Chateau de Versailles for a private concert by Kim's fave, Lana del Rey, who performed her hit song Summertime Sadness among other tunes.

Former Vogue editor-at-large Andre Leon Talley outlined the entire day in his diary submission for Vogue.com, writing about lunch at Valentino Garavani's Chateau de Wideville:

    "Kim and Kanye’s entourage, a processional of nine black cars, came down the grand parterre promptly at 1 p.m. lead by one of Valentino’s staff in a golf cart. Out stepped the bride-to-be in a long gray and oxidized Valentino bronze lace dress with the most beautiful gray suede stiletto court pumps, her hair in a ponytail and her beautiful daughter, North, in her arms dressed in anthracite gray and tights, no shoes. The groom escorted his bride-to-be—also in Valentino, made cool with a black leather shirt buttoned to the top, and black shiny oxfords. As the staff, about five men in black suits, stood with green umbrellas in the misty drizzle, the black fleet of cars continued to pour out Kardashian family and friends."

The fashion detail (which we love) goes on and on in Talley's piece, but we'll skip to the end of the day's first event, teasing the evening festivities:

    " As the helicopter whirred overhead, and Kanye’s personal film and photograph crew took pictures, the family and bridal party slowly piled into the cars to get dressed for a 6:00 p.m. departure from Paris to an unknown destination. When asked about certain details, Kanye said only “I don’t know what you are talking about?” like the cat that ate the canary (yet this cat had a solid pavé diamond and gold grill inlaid on his bottom molars). You couldn’t call it a rehearsal dinner—it called for black tie and starts at 7:00 p.m. Destination unknown to every guest, who gets his own personal security and chauffer. Off to the next big moment."


Of course that turned out to be the dinner, drinks and fireworks at Versailles for which, Talley says, Kim and Kanye will become "legend":

    "... it’s a moment of wonder every second. Each guest has his own personal chauffeur with an S500 Hybrid Mercedes-Benz. Private planes are at the ready for some destination in Italy tomorrow. And to top it all, Versailles with a V, and then some. Mr. West turned it into his home. He threw a great party, ending in lavish fireworks near midnight."


Off to Italy!!!
