A Momentous Occasion

The heir to the royal thrown was married on April 29. Tuning in with billions, not millions, of viewers worldwide, I was absolutely enthralled with every detail spoken by the endless press coverage. Although many highlights are dieing to be discussed, this is a blog about style and beauty. Thus, it is necessary to comment on Kate Middleton's dress, reminisent of Grace Kelly's stunner so many years ago.

Kate's Sarah Burton creation

Kate's inspiration?

Designed by Sarah Burton, kept secret until the day itself, the dress was marvelous. Burton is the designer of Alexander McQueen. Kate has a lovely sense of style and her statuesque frame pulled off the look perfectly. I specifically loved the laced sleeves and cinched in waste. The look was traditional yet glam. For her makeup, Kate did it herself. She desired for William to recognize her. With her hair in soft waves, donned with a sparking tiara she borrowed from the Queen, Kate looked effortless.The tiara was made by Cartier.

With the bride looking stunning and the crowd sporting the traditional English hats, (shout-out to Philip Treacy) the event was a milestone of classic meeting modernity.

I am placing my bets: wedding dresses like this are going to fly off the shelves!
