The Royal Wedding Photos

Here's some more gorgeous photos from the royal wedding.  I still can't get enough of Kate's dress and her sister Pippa is stunning.  Also, that cake?  Amazing!

OBSESSED: Alexander McQueen Fall 2011

If there was any doubt Sarah Burton couldn't live up to the name of Alexander McQueen, I would imagine it vanished Tuesday when she showcased her fall collection.  With rumors swirling that Burton will be dressing Kate Middleton on her wedding day, I have to wonder if the gowns at the end were a preview of what's to come for the royal wedding.  If Middleton really does wed in Alexander McQueen, I think it will show a new side to the royal family, a younger more modern side, that she has already done a great job promoting.  Also, I'll do a separate post later, but the shoes in this collection were insane.  Sarah Burton has really proven herself with this beautiful collection. 

Designers dish out the sketches for Kate Middleton's big day

So, the announcements have been made, the pictures have been taken, the venue (Westminister Abbey) may or may not have been decided on, but what everyone is wondering is what is Kate Middleton going to wear?

WWD posted 30 looks designers have drawn for Kate, and they range from extravagant to bare bones.

Now, Kate has thrown fashionistas off in the past two weeks because in the photos below she opted to wear a look from last year and do her own makeup even though she probably had tons of gorgeous clothes at her disposal.  Her knack for staying true to herself is going to throw designers off a little, and God forbid, a future princess pull a Carrie Bradshaw.  I don't think the royal family is going to want "the bride to wear a dress by no one."

However, in all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if Kate went ultra simple because Diana went ultra extravagant, and let's face it, no one can beat Diana's train (nor does Kate probably want to).

Out of all the designs below here's my top 5 not in any particular order:

1.  Badgley Mischka

2.  Monique Lhuillier

3.  Gucci

4.  J. Crew

5.  Tory Burch

(If I thought Kate would be going for opulence, I'd pick Valentino hands down, and Prabal Gurung and Jason Wu's designs are stunning in a not over the top way as well)

Regardless, I'm sure Kate will make the right decision and will look beautiful (especially in any one of these designs) on her wedding day.
