Harry and Pippa look good also.

Pippa and Harry would look quite cute together

 

[littlepaperstars]

Yes but she's in a huge Abbey, on camera and about to be present to thousands of people in the crowds. There needs to be definition in the make-up too. People want to be able to see her. There's a degree of theatricality and consideration of scale to the make up too. On a side not Pippa and Harry are having a good chat walking out lol I'm so glad the weather has held out, they look so adorable together, it's lovely.

PARIS – Designers around the world tuned into the watch the royal wedding, and discover Catherine Middleton’s dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

Many cited likeness to bridal gowns worn by Queen Elizabeth and Grace Kelly, and remarked on its traditional allure.

Broadcasting live on France 2 television, Karl Lagerfeld said: “She is very elegant. The dress is classic and goes very well in the Westminster decor. It almost reminds me of (Queen) Elizabeth’s wedding, the royal weddings in the Fifties. The proportion of the train is good. The lace is very pretty. I like the veil a lot.”

Here’s what other designers had to say:

Christian Lacroix: “I like the dress very much, simpler than expected: A combination just in between 1956 Grace Kelly and 1947 Queen Elizabeth dress. I love the modest veil with the Queen Mother’s Thirties scroll tiara and balanced volume of the whole gown. She’s radiant; She never was so beautiful. And Prince William’s red Irish uniform is gorgeous.”

Hubert de Givenchy: “The dress is very simple and very nice. The veil is a little flat, but because she has such a lovely face, she can afford to wear it this way. She is very pretty.” About choosing a dress from McQueen, whose founder committed suicide last year, De Givenchy said: “It’s a lovely thought, a nice tribute.”

Peter Copping of Nina Ricci: “Very much in a royal tradition, reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth’s – and a little bit Grace Kelly. She looks happy, radiant and natural.”

Ann-Sofie Johansson, head of design at H&M: "Kate Middleton’s dress is beautiful. She looks absolutely stunning today at the royal wedding. The lace together with the long sleeves really showed the craftsmanship and hours of work that has gone into creating a dress like this. The dress suits Kate Middleton perfectly and Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen surely lived up to my expectations. I also think that the lovely flower bouquet will set the trend for many brides to be"

Mark Badgley of Badgley Mischka, speaking for hinself and James Mischka: "James and I have goose bumps! The dress is perfection; and will stand the test of time. It is a classic Grace Kelly look. The skirt is divine. We love the hair down and the veil. The proportion is beautiful."

Antonio Marras, Kenzo: “McQueen was a brilliant choice. The choice of the label and the style of the dress was a very clever mix between edgy fashion and tradition - all in a very British way. You could see references to Grace Kelly or Queen Elizabeth's dresses, but in a simpler, more modern way. I loved her hair down. It looked perfectly natural and noble. Truly royal."

Alexis Mabille: “Kate’s dress is a classic, very elegant and pure…. It reminds me of Princess Grace’s wedding dress in a modern version with deeper cleavage, the draping at the back in reference to McQueen.”

Harry looks really good too, and quite cute with the kids.

Did you notice how Kate is always looking down when William is saluting. Is that some kind of rule?

 

[dennab216]

She did. There is an article out there somewhere. I know but seriously if she had the right make up she would have reach the heaven because from A to Z that wedding was perfect. She was glowing and I am just a bit disappointed that face wise her sister looks better than her

Btw the dress of Pippa is also McQueen

EDIT : yes and no. It's not a rule per say but William is "paying tribute" to the flags and HRH Duchess of Cambridge can't "salute" so she looks down

I'm pretty sure it's protocol yeah

Loved that procession, but if the balcony scene is scheduled an hour from now, I think I might nip to the shops inbetween.
