Project Runway judge Michael Kors married his partner Lance Le Pere Tuesday on Southampton, New York's Dune Beach.

"To marry someone as wonderful and special to me as Lance barefoot on a glorious beach is more than I could have dreamed of," the 51-year-old fashion designer told Women's Wear Daily.

Southampton Mayor Mark Epley presided over the wedding ceremony.

The couple met in 1990 when the handsome Le Pere was an intern for Kors' company.
