Fit for a Queen

I am getting sooo excited for the royal wedding this month! I cannot wait to see what dress Kate has chosen. Although there have been whispers about all sorts of names designing the wedding dress of the year, I really hope that the rumours about Sarah Burton designing it are true. An Alexander McQueen dress would be so perfect for the occasion: modern, edgy, elegant and most importantly English!

Here are some of my personal favourites from the collection of designers' sketches of ideas for the royal wedding dress:
Vera Wang

Valentino

Lela Rose

J. Mendel

Gucci

Doo-Ri Chung

Badgley Mishka

Karl Lagerfeld

They are all so beautiful and I can't wait to finally see what she wears on the big day! I think Kate is a perfect example for a future Queen. Not only is she intelligent, kind and very classy, but she is also beautiful and has a  great sense of style. I love how she always manages to look on-trend and very modern while still exuding elegance, class and grace. She is a great role model for the country. 

Just for fun, here are a few of my favourite Kate Middleton looks from this year:


This Burberry trench by Christopher Bailey sold out literally within a day in every single size! This post box red suit by Italian designer Luisa Spagnoli also sold out within a day of Kate wearing it. 

 

The black Libelula coat that Kate wore in January sold out within hours of her wearing it, and the website received thousands of hits. The waiting list for the coat was 300!! The Temperley dress she wore in December was gone within days, and sadly was never re-stocked.


The official engagement white silk Reiss dress. 


Issa has been a long-time favourite of Kate. Not only did she rock an Issa royal blue dress for the official engagement pictures and announcements, she also has worn many other designs over the years. The dresses fit her perfectly, and are sleek, feminine and sexy yet wonderfully classy as always. I'm very excited to see what the future Queen and global trendsetter has in store for us in 2 weeks time!
