Karl Lagerfeld envisions "a Victorian wedding dress, with a twist—high boots and open in the front," for Kate Middleton's marriage to Wills.
On Yahoo today, there's a story about designers envisioning wedding gowns for Kate Middleton.
It's fun to look at their illustrations and ideas, but without knowing much about her, it's hard to guess what kind of style she might go for. It's fun to guess, though, and it amounts to the ultimate fantasy for many women. Leading up to the April 29 event, many will probably be enjoying the vicarious thrill of plotting the perfect wedding along with the royals.
Diana Spencer's wedding gown looked more like a Disney confection than grounded in any kind of reality.
Middleton seems to be a very sophisticated, contemporary but classic kind of woman, so I wouldn't think she would opt for some of the frillier, ruffled designs, and certainly nothing as hideous as what Diana wore. (It was the '80s, a time of universal bad taste if that's an excuse.) Though it is a royal wedding, a good excuse to be over the top.
I liked this design by Rachel Roy, for WWD: I like that it's clean, classic and modern, with a nod to tradition with the big Brit hat. But is it international audience, royal worthy? Maybe a little too intimate, church-y.I'm sold on Monique Lhuillier's fluid, romantic design at the bottom of the page. The designer said, "The royal wedding will be magical. Kate’s dress should be a modern mix of the traditional and contemporary."
