Liam Payne‘s girlfriend Kate Cassidy broke down in tears as she stumbled upon a dress and pair of shoes she wore to a wedding with the One Direction star.

The singer sparked an outpouring of grief when he fell 45ft to his death from a hotel balcony in Argentina in October at the age of 31.

Liam had been dating influencer Kate, 25, for two years when he died – and she had been with him in Argentina until two days before his death.

Taking to TikTok on Thursday, Kate shared that she had finally braved looking trough boxes of her things from her last few weeks with Liam.

It was during that time that she discovered a yellow gown and worn white stilettos – which she had worn to a wedding with Liam in August.

The discovery made Kate emotional as she recalled the wedding, and shared a sweet memory of ‘dancing the night away’ with Liam.

‘I’ve had these boxes sitting down here in my basement for probably three or four months now,’ she said.

‘I have just been absolutely dreading opening up these boxes and going through these things because they’re just like the things I had in the last couple of months and weeks with Liam.

‘So I’ve really been procrastinating opening these boxes and sorting through these boxes and that’s what I’ve been doing for the past hour, just organising and getting my things together and packing up my stuff.

‘And um… [chokes up] I open this box – I’m really trying to pull it together right now – and I found this dress.’

Kate continued: ‘This dress actually brings me so much peace and comfort because the memory that me and Liam had in this dress was a memory I will never forget.

‘We went to this beautiful wedding and it was my very first wedding I’ve ever attended.

‘Oh my god we just had the best time… and the best part about this is in another box these shoes, and I remember the next morning and I said to Liam “Oh my god look at my shoes they’re so ruined, I don’t know what to do with them” – and when I tell you these shoes were practically almost new before I wore them this night, we just literally danced the night away.’

She added: ‘We were just dancing all night, walking around this venue, exploring, and I just can’t even believe I didn’t throw these out. And I’m so glad I didn’t.

Madison Donnan revealed the extraordinary lengths Liam went to just weeks before his death to make it to the wedding referenced by Kate.

The influencer wed businessman Matthew Kenner in a lavish ceremony in Paris in August, with Liam flying from a far-flung unknown location to get to their nuptials in time.

Madison wrote: ‘We are still in disbelief that we lost our dear friend Liam. He was a talented singer, songwriter, and most importantly, a cherished friend whose spirit lit up every room he entered.

‘His infectious laughter and genuine interest left a lasting impression on all those who had the privilege of knowing him.
