COUP DE COEUR: THE ROYAL WEDDING OF KATE & WILLIAMS


Kate wore this amazing dress by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen. Kate, now Duchess of Cambridge, wished for her dress to combine tradition and modernity with the artistic vision that characterizes Alexander McQueen's work. The earrings, which were made to match the tiara, were a personal gift to Middleton from her parents for her wedding day. Her handmade shoes, also by McQueen, were composed of ivory duchesse satin and lace. When it comes to her hair, Kate decided to stick with her longtime hairstylist James Pryce of the Richard Ward Salon, and regarding her makeup, it's rumored that Kate did it herself using Bobbi Brown products.

& here are some of the best dressed guests:

Victoria wore a dress of her own Autumn/Winter 2011 collection (and look at the heels!) while David wore a Ralph Lauren Suit.

Pippa Middleton (Kate's sister and bridesmaid) in Alexander McQueen & Queen Elizabeth II:

I love Princess Anne & Lady Diana's dresses, & I can't wait to see what Kate's dress will look like tomorrow aaaand most importantly I'm dying to know what Victoria Beckham & Princess Lalla Salma (of Morocco) will wear to the royal wedding.
