UH-MAZING!

This was so worth waking up at 5 am to see. I really wish I would have placed a bet on what Catherine's dress would look like because I would have nailed it! My guess was her dress would reminisce Grace Kelly's wedding dress to Prince Rainier in 1956, lots of lace, long sleeves and a full skirt. Well I'd say Catherine's McQueen creation was definitely a modern day version of the Princess of Monaco's original version. If only Alexander McQueen could have been here today to see his legacy live on.

I have to say I was surprised to see the Alexander McQueen dress Pippa, Kate's sister, wore to the royal wedding. White was a questionable choice but you know it works. I absolutely love the silhouette and the simplicity of the design. The little lace details and button down back are just perfect. Although, I wasn't as impressed with Pippa's second dress choice for the reception (see below). 
Kind of a let down after the bridesmaid dress. Oh well guess she should have gone with another McQueen design. Besides the gorgeous gowns, there was definitely not a shortage of hats among the guests but that will have to be another entry for another day...
