Karlie Kloss has shared new pictures from her star-studded Western-themed second wedding to Joshua Kusher in Wyoming over the weekend, and the snaps reveal that the British delegation of guests included royalty and a pop star.
Princess Beatrice and Ellie Goulding were both on the dazzling celebrity guest list for the event, showing their support for newlyweds Karlie, 26, and Joshua, 34, alongside other stars including Katy Perry, Orlando Bloom, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, and Diane von Furstenberg.
In fact, the wedding was a bit of a reunion for Beatrice, Ellie, Karlie, Joshua, and a few other world travelers who all took a trip to Jordan together last year.
Sweet: Karlie Kloss and Joshua Kushner had an extravagant wedding weekend in Wyoming from June 21 – 23, and new photos from the celebration reveal that the groom was on crutches for at least some of the time

Karlie and Joshua first said ‘I do’ back in October in a small, intimate wedding ceremony in upstate New York, but this weekend, they celebrated with friends for three days packed with activities on Brush Creek Ranch in Saratoga, Wyoming.
While some of Karlie’s famous friends were noticeably absent — including Taylor Swift, Jourdan Dunn, Toni Garrn, Cara Delevingne, and Ashley Graham — she did invite the group of friends that she and Josh traveled to Jordan with in April of last year.
That lavish trip included Beatrice, Ellie, Meghan Markle’s designer pal Misha Nonoo, actress Nora Kirkpatrick, and Kirkpatrick’s husband, the American filmmaker Bryn Mooser — all of whom were in Wyoming for the party this weekend.
In fact, Beatrice even scored the seat of honor right next to the bride and dinner on Sunday night, and joyfully sang along with Ellie during karaoke on Friday.
Karlie and Princess Beatrice may seem like unlikely friends, but the pair have been close for years, even going as each other’s dates to a wedding in France in 2016. And when Karlie first got engaged, she shared a photo of a Facetime call in which Beatrice reacted to the news.
And it seems that whole group from the 2018 trip to Jordan is part of Karlie’s core friend group, including the royals they met up with there: The wedding guest list also included Crown Prince Hussein of Jordan, who acted as tour guide for the trip, and was in Wyoming this weekend with his sister Princess Salma.

The long weekend was packed with festivities for guests who’d traveled out. On Friday, June 20, the celebrations kicked off with a night of karaoke, with guests including Ellie and Beatrice singing along to songs in the ranch’s lodge.
On Saturday, the fun kicked off with paintball during the day and ended with line dancing inside in the evening. The group danced to hits like Cotton Eye Joe before heading outside for a fireworks display.
And on Sunday, guests were treated to some horseback riding before changing for the final big dinner. Inside, tables were set with enormous floral displays as guests sat down to eat — with Joshua sitting to Karlie’s left, and Beatrice on her right.
After they ate, the young crowd — which did not appear to include the bride and groom’s parents, or much family at all — hit the dance floor to bust a move.
Karlie even did a split, though the groom was a bit less agile, and seems to have been injured: In one photo Karlie shared, Josh balanced on a pair of crutches while dancing with her.
The night ended with revelers swaying in a circle to songs like Hey Jude and Lean on Me.
Surprisingly, Joshua’s brother Jared Kushner and his wife Ivanka Trump do not appear in any photos from the Sunday night party — however the mother-of-three did share an image of the couple that appeared to have been taken at the ranch where the celebration was held.

Not there? Interesting, Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner don’t appear to have been among the guests
On Monday, Ivanka posted the picture of herself cuddled up with Jared, indicating that the couple had traveled out west to celebrate Karlie and Josh.
But according to one wedding guest who reportedly spoke to People, Ivanka and Jared only actually stopped by on Thursday night, and didn’t attend any of the official wedding activities.
It’s unclear if Ivanka and Jared weren’t invited to the party, or if they simply declined to come.
Though they both attended Karlie and Josh’s actual wedding back in October, they may have wished to avoid a room filmed with Trump critics this weekend.
The Wyoming party guest list was stacked with stars who have been openly critical of the president and his policies.

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher both campaigned for Clinton in 2016, and each has made numerous critical comments about Trump, both in interviews and on social media
Gorgeous: The rustic but luxe party was held on Brush Creek Ranch
On the podcast WTF with Marc Maron last year, Mila admitted she had a ‘blowup’ argument with a member of Ashton’s family during the election, with Mila arguing that Trump would set back women’s rights and Ashton’s family member insisting he wouldn’t. The dispute, she said, grew quite heated.
‘To this other person it wasn’t a question… Like, “He’s not going to do anything against women’s rights.” I was like, “No, but he is. These are the things that will happen if he wins.” And it just wasn’t of a priority — not that it wasn’t even priority, I shouldn’t say that, it wasn’t probable [to this person] that anything was going to happen’ she said.
‘That’s not the point of this, the point was something else. And I was like, “Right, but by default this is the s*** that’s going to go down,’ she went on.
She also admitted to making monthly donations to Planned Parenthood in Vice President Mike Pence’s name, and has been critical of the White House’s response to Syrian refugees, citing her own reasons for emigrating to the US as a child.
‘The whole Syrian-refugee thing — we came here on a religious refugee visa, and I’m not going to blow this country up. I’m clearly paying taxes, I’m not taking anything away,’ she told Glamour. ‘So the fact that people look at what’s happening and are like, “Pfft, they’re going to blow s*** up”? It saddens me how much fear we’ve instilled in ourselves.

Savoring it: Karlie and Joshua were seen together in the circle thoroughly enjoying the moment
‘Wishing lots of love to the happy couple!’ Derek wrote on the video, which he uploaded on Instagram
‘And going from there to the whole, “Hey, let’s build a wall between Los Angeles and Mexico”… I don’t even have to answer that one. There’s no point. It’s a really great sound bite. And it got him far. Nobody should be mad at him; we did it to ourselves.’
Meanwhile, her husband Ashton was also furious over Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ in 2017 and took the opportunity to tweet about his wife’s experience.
‘My wife came to this country on a refugee visa in the middle of the Cold War. My blood is boiling right now!’ he wrote. ‘We have never been a nation built on fear. Compassion that is the root ethic of America. Our differences are fundamental [to our] sustainability.’
It’s not known whether Mila and Ashton directly crossed paths with Ivanka and Jared, or if stars made a point to avoid them all evening.
Also at the party were Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, the latter of whom campaigned for Clinton and has had a lot to say about Trump — though she prefers not to utter his name.
‘I have this rule that I just say “45.” Everything is an energy. Words. Deep energy,’ she told Paper magazine this year.
Speaking to Vogue, she also said: ‘Misogyny and sexism were in my childhood: I have an issue with suppressive males and not being seen as equal. I felt like a little kid again being faced with a scary, controlling guy.’
Katy has tweeted in support of transgender members of the military, the LGBTQ community as a whole, gun violence protesters, and the Women’s March, and last year called Trump’s tweets about the Camp fire in California ‘an absolutely heartless response.’
Yeehaw! The group spent several days soaking up the sights and sounds of Wyoming, with Karlie getting the chance to hang out with several friends, including Mila (center right), Yael (center left), and Penni Thow (left), who works with Scooter

Katy’s presence was also quite a surprise given that she and fellow pop star Taylor Swift only just resolved their years-long feud.
The pair were publicly at odds for years before making up this year, with Katy appearing in Taylor’s new music video for her song You Need to Calm Down.
And even though Katy was there to celebrate with Karlie, Taylor was noticeably MIA, potentially supporting rumors that the former BFFs are no longer as close as they used to be. This, despite the fact that Karlie has insisted on several occasions that they are still good friends.
Taylor wasn’t the only celebrity not to show her face — in fact, there were surprisingly few models and designers at the event.
Absent from the festivities were almost all of Karlie’s friends in the fashion world. Her closest model pals — Jourdan Dunn, Toni Garrn, Cara Delevingne, and Ashley Graham — did not make the trek out west, despite all four scoring invites to her intimate Jewish ceremony back in October.
Ashley did comment on one of Karlie’s wedding-themed Instagram posts with a heart, suggesting that there was no bitterness over her lack of attendance.
Designers Brandon Maxwell, Jason Wu, Virgil Abloh, Marc Jacobs, Maria Grazia Chiuri, Nicolas Ghesquiere, and new friend Christian Siriano were also missing from the festivities, as were editors including Anna Wintour, Grace Coddington, and Edward Enninful.

Party favors! Derek Blasberg showed off this fun tequila party favor, with a picture he says he took the night Karlie and Josh met
The only designer so far confirmed to have been there was Diane von Furstenberg, who attended with her husband, IAC chair Barry Diller.
Like Katy, DVF campaigned for Hillary and 2016, but she has mostly kept mum about the president — and was one of several designers who said she would be willing to dress Melania Trump while she’s in the White House.
‘Donald Trump was elected and he will be our president,’ she told WWD. ‘Melania deserves the respect of any first lady before her. Our role as part of the fashion industry is to promote beauty, inclusiveness, diversity. We should each be the best we can be and influence by our example.
Also in attendance was actress Roma Downey and her husband Mark Burnett, the man behind Trump’s reality show The Apprentice. Burnett and the president are longtime friends, and Burnett has described the friendship as ‘one of the greatest relationships of my life’ — though he has also professed to be apolitical on numerous occasions.
Rupert Murdoch’s ex-wife Wendi Deng, a long-time friend of Ivanka’s, was also in attendance at the event, posing up for a group picture alongside the bride and groom, and lots of their friends.
It’s most likely that talk of politics was put aside for the joyous event, during which guests donned their best prairie-chic and cowboy-inspired ensembles.
Kloss wore a $1,595 white, off-the-shoulder dress by Jonathan Simkhai, and at some point changed into another dress with a high-low hem. Her husband, meanwhile, wore a dark suit to the party.
Beautiful: Karlie shows off her dress, which featured lots of tiny buttons down the front

Inside, where long tables were overflowing with flowers, party-goers danced to pop hits like Madonna’s Vogue — with Karlie herself hamming it up for pal Derek Blasberg’s camera.
Joshua and Karlie — who, like Ivanka, converted to Judaism ahead of her wedding — were also lifted into chairs for the hora, a traditional Jewish dance wherein guests dance in circles and the bride and groom are lifted above the crowd.
Karlie and Joshua’s guests all had sweet things to say on social media, too, wishing them a happy life together.
‘May your marriage be as intense and long lasting as my hangover from this weekend,’ wrote Derek.
‘Wonderful weekend of being loved and celebrating love, congrats to a beautiful union,’ added Orlando, while Scooter Braun wrote: ‘“That was amazing!!!… more!” Great weekend with great friends celebrating 2 great humans!
Kloss’ friend Dasha Zhukova, founder of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art and Garage Magazine, also posted pictures of Kloss and Kushner, captioning them ‘Our best friends’ wedding.’
There was also a bit of royalty on hand for the occasion: Among the guests were Hussein, Crown Prince of Jordan and his sister Princess Salma Bint Abdullah of Jordan.
It’s her big day! The bride is pictured speaking to a bunch of friends dressed up tor ride ATVs outside
A ball! Karlie shared several pictures, including guests goofing around outside (left) and someone — possibly the bride herself — on an ATV

Other images show guests lounging around on the ranch, riding horses, drinking from mason jars, and dancing inside.
Naturally, members of both the bride and groom’s families were there; however, one of Karlie’s sister’s, Khristine, was not in attendance, having attended another wedding that weekend.
The whole affair was certainly a bigger and more extravagant one than their surprise October wedding, which was attended by only 80 guests including Joshua’s two sisters, Dara and Nicole, and his parents, Charles and Seryl.
Jared and Ivanka also attended with their three kids, Arabella, Joseph, and Theodore.
Kloss’ parents, Tracy and Kurt, attended as well, as did her three sisters, Kimberly, Kariann, and Kristine, who acted as bridesmaids.
Kloss wore a bespoke Dior bridal gown at the time, a much more formal number than the dress she wore this weekend. The Jewish Telegraphic Agency said the couple wed in a Jewish ceremony, as Kloss reportedly converted in June 2018 before the couple became engaged.
Though Ivanka and Karlie are now sisters-in-law, it’s unclear how close, exactly, they are.
From Ivanka’s gushing congratulations on social media after their first wedding in October, it would seem the pair got along well. Besides posting about the wedding on her own Instagram account, she also commented on Karlie’s post.
‘So much love for you both as you begin a lifetime together!’
Family: Joshua, who is a ‘lifelong Democrat,’ is the younger brother of White House senior adviser Jared Kusnher, who is married to first daughter Ivanka Trump (pictured in 2013)
Falling out: Before Trump became president and Ivanka took on a White House roll, she and Karlie were occasionally seen together (pictured at the US Open in 2016) – but now Karlie doesn’t follow Ivanka on social media
Loving feeling: ‘So much love for you both as you begin forever together,’ wrote Ivanka after the October wedding, which she attended with her husband Jared and their three children
They do! Karlie and Joshua married in October and when on a South African honeymoon in December
Emotional: Earlier this year, Karlie shared a video showing peeks inside the intimate ceremony, during which she got choked up
Understated: The bride, who wore Dior, accessorized with delicate jewelry and carried a small bouquet
And when Karlie announced her engagement, Ivanka commented, ‘So, so happy for you and Josh. I feel blessed to have you as a sister (!!!) Karlie and look forward to the decades of happy memories we will create together as a family!
Yet despite her repeated social media shout-outs, Karlie doesn’t actually follow Ivanka back on Instagram.
And speaking to Vogue for the magazine’s October cover story, Karlie indicated that as much as she loves Josh, she’s not happy about being tied to the rest of his family.
‘Josh and I share a lot of the same liberal values that guide our lives and the things we stand for,’ she said. ‘At the end of the day, I’ve had to make decisions based on my own moral compass — forget what the public says, forget social media.
‘I’ve chosen to be with the man I love despite the complications. It’s frustrating, to be honest, that the spotlight is always shifted away from my career toward my relationship. I don’t think the same happens in conversations with men.’
Her new husband, Joshua, has also publicly distanced himself from the political work his brother and sister-in-law are doing.
‘It is no secret that liberal values have guided my life and that I have supported political leaders that share similar values,’ he told Forbes in 2017.
