All Hail McQueen!

Even the guard is saluting the dress

Kate Middleton looks delighted and of course why shouldn't she ? She is marrying a prince and wearing Alexander McQueen. On the 29th April 2011 all eyes were on Kate Middleton as she approached Westminster Abbey. What dress would she wear for the most hotly anticipated event of the year? It makes sense that Kate choose Sarah Burton for McQueen; there is no doubt that this was a day when homage should be paid to a very talented British designer. And it certainly was a triumph. The dress suited an occasion which was all about elegance and sophistication. The fact that the train was shorter than the usual royal wedding dresses shows that Kate wanted the modern twist in the fairytail!
