US supermodel Kendra Spears has completed her transformation from all-American girl-next-door to Islamic princess, marrying Prince Rahim Aga Khan in a lavish ceremony in Switzerland.

The 25-year-old model – who is now known as Princess Salwa – looked stunning on her wedding day, dripping in diamonds and wearing a traditional ivory dress covered in intricate gold embroidery.

Prince Rahim is the eldest son of His Highness Aga Khan IV, the current Imam of Shia Ismaili Muslims who is worth an estimated $800 million.

The happy couple married on the shores of Lake Geneva.

Their engagement was announced in April.

The engagement news came as a surprise as it was not known the couple was even dating.

Kendra converted to Islam ahead of the nuptials.

At 6ft tall, Kendra is a statuesque beauty.

Her days of striding the catwalk scantily-clad are now over.

Kendra was discovered on MySpace when she was 19 and quickly became a superstar.

Kendra has modelled for Chanel, Louis Vuitton and Dolce & Gabbana.
