Kate’s bridal style.
The speculation had been almost frenzied – who would design the wedding dress of the century? Would it be Alice Temperley? Bruce Oldfield was a popular choice for a time, but then tailed off towards the end? Would Kate use Daniella Helayel of Issa, one of her favourite designers? There was a late surge for Sophie Cranston, but on Friday morning at 11.00a.m, the whole of the fashion world shrieked with pleasure at the news that Kate Middleton had chosen Sarah Burton from the House of Alexander McQueen to design her wedding dress. And what a beautiful dress it was! Kate Middleton looked truly regal as she walked down the…

Kate’s shopping trip – next stop Whistles…
Kate Middleton made a second fashion odyssey to the Kings Road yesterday on her quest for more bits and pieces for that honeymoon. This time, one of Kate’s purchases was the ‘Kate’ blouse, the £125 blouse that Kate wore on the engagement photographs by Mario Testino, which has recently been reissued by Whistles. There has been much amusement about the fact that Kate has bought a blouse she already owns, but I can’t see what the fuss is about. I often buy things I like and feel comfortable in again, and Kate may well have been buying this for someone else (Kate and sister Pippa seem to have similar tastes…).…

Pippa Middleton- Focus on the style of the Chief Bridesmaid.
Whilst all eyes will be on Kate Middleton on the 29th April, life will never be the same again for the chief bridesmaid. Pippa Middleton is Kate’s only sister, and is favourite to become Kate’s chief lady in waiting after the big day. Younger than Kate, but possessing the same dark good looks, glossy mane of hair and impeccable dress sense, Kate’s sister is said to be pretty, witty and sparkling. Like Kate, Pippa favours neat dresses just above knee-length, and has a great line in fascinators. She has that glossy, groomed look and is always immaculately turned out. If Kate Middleton could become the new Jackie O, then the…

Princess Marina – The first Duchess of Style
We live in an age when royal princesses can be seen as style icons. Princess Diana, Princess Margaret, Princess Grace of Monaco and Queen Rania of Jordan have all been admired for their fashion choices and style, and it seems that Kate Middleton is about to join their feted ranks. But the original style Princess is hardly remembered today. She was Princess Marina of Greece, who married Prince George, the youngest and most handsome son of George V in 1934 and became the Duchess of Kent. Marina was a tall, beautiful women with an impeccable sense of style. No ingenue when she married the Prince, but an independent women of…
