Lady Kitty Spencer rewears her wedding necklace at Leonie Hanne’s wedding

Lady Kitty Spencer made the strongest accessory case of the wedding season without trying to steal the spotlight. At Leonie Hanne’s civil wedding at The Dorchester in London, Spencer wore an ethereal silk strapless gown with a tulip skirt and sparkly heels, then anchored the look with the same pastel-toned statement necklace she first wore for her own wedding in 2021.

That is the real appeal of the moment: not celebrity nostalgia, but repeat wear with purpose. Spencer, 35, arrived with her younger twin sisters, Lady Amelia and Lady Eliza, as Hanne celebrated in a sculptural Milla Nova gown, styled with help from wedding planner Katharina Landenberger Weddings. Against that polished guest list and the hotel setting, Spencer’s jewelry did what the best bridal pieces do. It carried memory, but it also worked as a fresh finishing touch for someone else’s ceremony.

The necklace has already had more than one life. Spencer debuted it on her wedding day to Michael Lewis in July 2021, during a three-day celebration in Rome that had reportedly been delayed because of the coronavirus pandemic. The weekend opened with a four-course meal at the Galleria del Cardinale on 23 July 2021, before a Jewish ceremony at 6 p.m. the following day at Villa Aldobrandini in Frascati, near Rome. She wore five Dolce & Gabbana looks over the weekend, did not wear the Spencer family tiara, and paired the bridal wardrobe with Bvlgari jewelry.

That history is exactly what makes the necklace worth watching now. Spencer had already worn it beyond the aisle once, pairing it with a gold-and-silver sequined dress, one of her five wedding looks. Seen again at Hanne’s wedding, it read less like a once-in-a-lifetime bridal relic and more like a high-impact signature, the kind of jewel that can move from bride to guest without losing its drama.

For bridal readers, the styling lesson is clear: the best wedding jewelry does not have to be locked away after the reception. Heirloom-scale stones, memorable pearls, and investment pieces can return for another wedding, another dress code, another family photograph, and still feel loaded with meaning. Spencer’s necklace worked because it was beautiful enough to stand alone, and personal enough to make a second appearance feel intentional rather than recycled.
