The Young Princesses' Opinion-Divinding Headwear

The young princesses Eugenie and Beatrice rocked up in rather bizarre fascinators at Friday's wedding, mould breaking decisions one might say. Their Philip Tracey choices shocked much of the paparazzi, giving gossips and tabloids lots to talk about, but is it all that bad? My opinion? Yes. Yes, yes, yes. One looked like she had donned an American baked good-esque fascinator, with colour to complete, whilst the other looked like she was wearing a capsized boat with all the trimmings. 

Philip Tracey's designs were found popular with the royal guest list, however some failed to meet the certain je ne sais quoi of a royal wedding.

Royal Wedding - Joss Stone

For someone who doesn't tend to dress to impress, I think Joss Stone's royal wedding attire was rather appropriate.

Joss Stone (pictures left) looked rather handsome in a scarlet coloured knee-length dress with matching clutch in hand, all topped off with a hat. And may I accentuate the hat. It's not like most of other guests who came with a fascinators resembling American baked goods or just a feather, she wore a real hat, and it was gorgeous! She looked so sweet with a delicate light peach hat which was nothing short of beautiful.

And she wore shoes this time! Gorgeous matching peep toes. Good job, Joss.

Royal VS Gypsy - Who did it best?

VS

Well, after having a look at both of the dresses, it's clear to see that both brides had their designers emulate their style for the little ones, but I must say one did it with more class. Kate's designers used a combination of the same silks and English lace on all of the dresses, whilst our favorite Channel 4 gypsy demanded her bridesmaids look like mini versions of herself.




Hmmm...I think a poll is in order.

The Bride

Well, this post is due.  I've decided I'll do a mini serious of brief wedding fashion posts.


To start, THE BRIDE! Oh, Sarah Burton you how done well! The lace, the understated grandeur, and sheer class!  Now seriously, who can deny that this wasn't a gorgeous dress. She still remains modern and modest with covered arms, but is a far cry away from the 80s style puff sleeved Diana dress. Choosing the creative director of fashion house Alexander McQueen, renowned for excellent craftsmanship and impeccable detailing really shows a modern Kate, more than a retired Catherine. 

The veil is made of layers of soft, ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers, which was embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework. The veil is held in place by a Cartier 'halo' tiara, lent to Miss Middleton by The Queen. The 'halo' tiara was made by Cartier in 1936 and was purchased by The Duke of York (later King George VI) for his Duchess (later Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) three weeks before he succeeded his brother as King. The tiara was presented to Princess Elizabeth (now The Queen) by her mother on the occasion of her 18th birthday.
