And the Bride wore ARMANI!!!


Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Wittstock were finally married after much anticipation. Not as much as the wedding of William & Kate, but anticipation none the less. And when Miss Wittstcok walked down the aisle she wore nothing but the best... Mr Georgio Armani himself! And might I add it was a beautiful gown. The boat neckline perfectly complimented Charlene's rather broad swimmer shoulders. Mr. Armani designed Princess Charlene�s off-white duchess silk gown. According to a statement from the designer�s company, the front of the gown was embroidered with flowers, gold-colored stones, crystals and mother-of-pearl teardrops. The neckline was rather eye-catching, severe almost, with an asymmetrical cross-over that seemed intended as a modernizing effect. I found that detail a bit cold. But, overall, the dress was a sophisticated style for a glamor capital.




The wedding was attended by Karl Lagerfeld, along with Noami Campbell, Karolina Kurkova, and many more famous faces. I have to say, Naomi looked so sophisticated and stylish. I loved her dress. Karolina on the other hand looked like she she fire her stylist. I didnt like anything about her look!




What did you think of the Monaco Royal Wedding? And most importantly, the dress!

The Royal Wedding Hats!

Kate Middleton is known for her love of standout hats, or fascinators. This regal accessory was also a popular choice for attendees of her wedding to Prince William. Now don't get me wrong, I love hats too. They can be worn in so many ways, with so many different looks, both casual & formal. However, I do draw the line, & most of the hats worn by attendees of the Royal Wedding cross that line. You know, maybe its just me, I do like simple stuff. I just don't see why anyone would want to wear a forehead hat lol

 Here are some pictures.

The Royal Wedding Dress

?
Bride & Groom looking very happy.
? I can't say that I have been waiting anxiously for this moment, but its here, so I am ready to embrace it. The Royal Wedding has been the most talked about event of 2011 so far. Everywhere you go, every television channel - its all been about The Royal Wedding

? For me, well my main concern is the dress. And i must say, Kate Middleton did not disappoint. The beautifully blushing bride looked absolutely elegant in a long-sleeve lace, ivory and satin gown with flattering V neckline and 8-foot-long train, a simple lace-edged veil and understated (for royal standards) tiara sparkling over her half up, half down hairdo.

The beautiful gown was designed by Sarah Burton, the creative director of British fashion house Alexander McQueen! How fabulous is that! I think the dress was a perfect balance of modernity & tradition. She actually kinda reminded me of Grace Kelly.



The bodice and skirt's lace applique was handmade by the Royal School of Needlework, while the dress is made of ivory and white satin gazar. The pleated skirt was made to resemble an "opening flower", and the bodice, which was "padded at the hips, draws on the Victorian tradition of corsetry." Kate's ivory duchess satin heels were also courtesy of Alexander McQueen. And well, who can forget the bling. Queen Elizabeth II lent Kate the Cartier-designed "halo" tiara, and the teardrop diamond earrings were a personal gift from her parents.

All I have to say is beautiful :)
