Long Live McQueen!



 I know that it may seem incredibly predictable, but what kind of fashion blogger would I be if I did not cover the Royal Wedding. Wouldn't you expect me to regale you with stories of love and romance, of princes and princesses, of Kate Middleton's Cinderella like tale? If that is the case, you'd better stop reading now.

Don't get me wrong, I respect and adore the tradition that is the Royal Family, but most importantly I respect the display of fashion that came from this event. The wedding was a impromptu runway affair, and I, the adoring aficiando. Of course, the highlight being the gorgeous lace bodiced Alexander McQueen gown chosen by the now Duchess of Cambridge (dseigned by Sarah Burton of the House of McQueen). I must say that in a Victorian dress echoing Grace Kelly, Kate Middleton was, to put it plainly, stunning.



Unfortunately, some often fashion forward guests seemed a bit unsure of appropriate royal wedding attire. The fabulous Victoria Beckham underwhelmed in her own design. After three children she should have maternity chic down packed. Why, therefore, did she insist on this shadow casting navy frock? Fortunately, in any good marriage there needs to be balance, and David Beckham took the reigns from his wife in royal appropriate Ralph Lauren.


 Lastly, English socialite, Tara Palmer Tomkinson, made a fervent attempt to literally outshine the bride by nabbing every electric blue item in the UK. Sadly, her attempt to channel the Duke Blue Devil within left onlookers a bit overcome by the cobalt queen.

Hopefully, these missteps will not cost these ladies invites to future royal affairs. In the meantime, I must offer the decree: "off with their threads".
