Leaving Clarence House.

I love that dress. Those shoes are ones she has been wearing a lot recently, and I want them as well!

Hope they have a lovely honeymoon!

Awh! Where are they going on honeymoon?

I am a friend

Does anyone else think its just almost a pure copy of Princess Grace's look? Kate was hardly bucking the trend...

Only William knows it's a surprise for Kate.

Kate's outfit leaving clarence house was gorgeous! I'm glad she is staying true to her style, At the wedding she wore earrings her parents gave to her, I heard her being slated on tv for not wearing expensive jewels considering we are in a recession pretty ridiculous comments :rolleyes:

Love the dress on the right too- anyone know who the designer is?

I must be the only one who doesn't like Pippa's dress! It looks frumpy or something..

I thought Pippa looked stunning, nearly outshining the bride!

Kate looked absolutely stunning yesterday! Both of her dresses were gorgeous, the wedding dress especially. And that blue dress is also beautiful!

Although she did look a bit too skinny so I hope she puts on a bit of weight..

Does anyone know if royal brides have to have sleeves on their dresses? I was looking through old photos of previous royal weddings and everyone nearly seems to have sleeves.. and not just cap sleeves, like, elbow length ones at least..

Kate Middleton, obviously.

Then you have

Princess Diana.


Princess Anne.


Princess Margaret


Duchess of York


Queen Elizabeth


Sophie Rhys Jones (Wife of Prince Edward)


Countess of Wessex



Sophie Winkleman


And not just British royalty either..

Princess Maxima of the Netherlands.


Crown princess of Greece.


Princess Martha of Norway.


Crown Princess Mette of Norway.


Crown princess Mary of Denmark.




Mad.. Wonder what that's about.

Pauleta

Its royal protocol to cover your shoulders. The sleeves could be just an old tradition that has fallen with most brides but happened back in the day. I would imagine its about not revealing too much of the soon to be not so virgin bride.


EDIT: I didnt know Big Suze from Peep Show (Sophie Winkleman) was married to royalty :eek:

Sibylla

The official royal photo's have been released.







It's interesting to see Kate's hand on William's knee that wouldn't have been deemed appropriate in previous times, lovely pictures again it should be noted how happy they look.
The Middleton's leaving for home below, looking very happy and relaxed. Kate and William will spend this weekend in England and honeymoon later!

RosyLily

Gorgeous photographs of everyone there....always stylish!:)

Spending a private weekend away in England now before the honeymoon. Apparently, The Seychelles and Kenya are the hot picks for honeymoon destination- The Seychelles because William (supposedly) promised her there that he would marry her and Kenya because he proposed there!

Ahh the official photos are lovely, the one with all the kids is nice. Kate really looks absolutely beautiful. The Middletons are a very good looking family!

The Middletons are a very good looking family and it's nice to see how close they are. Sarah Burton also designed Pippa's dress.

Off topic but given the huge fashion interest there has been in Kate Middleton perhaps a sticky for a 'star style' a thread for a celebrity would be a good idea. If feedback ideas are still being considered. Basically posting pics and discussion on a celeb. Seen it work very well on other forums.

Love the dress from today, They look very happy!

chocgirl

Really loved Kate's dress, it was so timeless and classic. I amazingly for once happened not to be working and was glued to the telly all day.

Had heard several people predict that she'd wear something very slim fitting and for some reason I had a vision of her wearing one of those hideous strapless numbers that are so popular at the minute. Was so surprised when I saw it in the end. I actually love the lace arms in it but I think I heard a commentator saying her arms had to be covered.

They looked like a genuinely happy couple too which was touching. I agreee that the Middleton's are stunning, so dark and beautiful.

I was looking forward to the dress because I knew it couldn't be strapless!:D It had to have covered her shoulders. Long sleeves, doesn't have to be,though royal dresses usually are because it tends to look better than short sleeves. Loved the type of dress Kate wore before now, delighted it will be more popular and widely available now. I'm as thin as Kate so that would be my dream dress.

LadyMayBelle

Anyone know where today's dress is from?

I gotta say i love that photo with the kids!

Sugar Free

Interesting to see the more contemporary one button style being worn by William and Mr. Middleton with their casual jackets. Unless the top button was rolled over with the lapels, which looks unlikely.

Heard her blue dress is from Zara (@ €70 afaik) and wedges from L.K. Bennett. I'm definitely getting that dress....so simple and pretty!

BTW, I wouldn't mind a sticky thread of Kate's style...I'd def rob a couple of her looks!:D

The Lovely Muffin

For anyone who might be interested, I think Pippa's blue blazer is from Zara, although I could be wrong.

Sibylla

I agree especially since she tends to shop at affordable high street shops it's easier to emulate her look!

Does anyone have a link for the blue dress?

The Princess of Spain was wearing a pale pink bandage dress by Felipe Varela teamed with matching shoes and a charming cloche hat.

This is similar to Kate's dress. Kinda hard to tell with the jacket though.

And these are Kate's wedges shoes, but in a different colour. They are by designer Lanvin.

http://theshoegoddess.com/2011/01/lanvin-patent-espadrille-wedge-pump.html

They are by designer Lanvin, the style name of the shoes is "Lanvin Patent Espadrille Wedge Pump".

The wedges are actually LK Bennett, they are not Lanvin.

I found these online, the Lanvin wedges, similar to Kate's.

Great idea Sibylla, I had no interest at all in the wedding but have to admit i'm in love with Pippa's dress.

Was Queen Rania of Jordan not at the wedding? I thought she was supposed to be going.....she is simply beautiful...a true style icon!

Perhaps a 'royal style' thread would be good so we could incorporate pippa and Queen Rania.

Thanks for the link Purple Bobbin!

99% sure that it's the dress. Can't seem to find it on the Irish Zara website though!

Never mind...I found it!:o

Structurally Sound Mentally Unstable

Probably not real, but funny all the same.

Look at Harry's Union Jack undies :pac:

Oh could you post a link please, I can't find it anywhere.

phasers

Purple bobbin posted a link in her original post

I think it sold out almost immediately after she was pictured wearing it though.

Lollers

True, I just thought Lilly rose had found it on the Irish Zara site. Wires crossed it seems.

I will pop into Zara Dundrum tomorrow on the off chance they might have it.

Welp I checked out Zara Dundrum today and they were all sold out of Kates dress. Lots of the Pippa blazers still there though.

Apparently the makeup was done by Bobbi Brown : http://beaut.ie/blog/2011/her-royal-hotness-pippa-middleton-the-glory-of-her-ass-oh-yeah-and-her-bobbi-brown-makeup-too/

Tayla

Pippa did look absolutely stunning at the wedding, it seems like the tabloids and beauty websites are really milking it though just to have something new to report on, the rest of the time she doesn't look anything special.

Imo although Pippa looked better on the wedding day than the bride, in real life Kate is so much more striking than Pippa.

toodleytoo

Pictures have come out of Pippa dancing in her bra and a skirt on a night out... wonder what the Queen will think

The Lovely Muffin

William and Kate had their first Royal engagement today after arriving back from their honeymoon.

Love Kate's dress, it's so classy and elegant yet so simple.



Michelle looks lovely too, love her hair.

The Lovely Muffin

Just found this, info about Kate's outfit that she wore while meeting the Obama's.

Resis website is down.... Inundated with purchases I imagine!

RosyLily

Kate's dress is fab! I love it.
Pity I can't find her post-wedding dress from Zara online anymore!

Acoshla

Just a pity she's so thin, a bit of curves would have improved that dress no end. Look at her little arms!

Toto Wolfcastle

Her upper arms are quite thin. Some people just don't have curves though and can't do anything about it. I think she looks lovely.

Acoshla

She used to be a bit bigger, so it's not her natural state to be that thin.

Toto Wolfcastle

She was never curvy though. I'm as skinny as she is (although she's more toned) and I'll never be curvy.

What size are you? Last time I was in a Zara store they still had mediums and larges left, no small though

Alicat

She was healthier looking back in the day, she is a bit too skinny now. That Reiss dress is lovely but she has a lollipop head in it!


She looks much better here on the right;

I tried it on. Tbh, up-close, it looked nowhere near as nice as in the pictures. It was made from a very cheap polyester. I've nicer dresses from Penney's! :eek:
It's a pity, as I loved the colour and would have bought it, had it been better made.

I have the Reiss dress on hold, but I'm in two minds as to whether or not to get it. I'm not made about the material, but I love both the cut and colour
