Kate's Dress

The other Kate, the one that married her Prince on Friday, has placed herself in fashion history designing a stunning dress alongside Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton.

The stunning dress captured the world's attention and will go down in history as one of the most elegant dresses of all time.

I simply can not fault the dress - it is perfect - perfectly suited to Kate.

See what the world's best designers thought of the dress:

Karl Lagerfeld: “She is very elegant. The dress is classic and goes very well in the Westminster decor. It almost reminds me of (Queen) Elizabeth’s wedding; the Royal weddings in the 50s. The proportion of the train is good. The lace is very pretty. I like the veil a lot,” he said on France 2 television.

Donatella Versace: "Kate's dress was beautiful. She looked very regal."

Christian Lacroix: “I like the dress very much, simpler than expected. A combination just in between the 1956 Grace Kelly and 1947 Queen Elizabeth dress[es]. I love the modest veil with the Queen Mother’s 30s scroll tiara and balanced volume of the whole gown. She’s radiant; she never was so beautiful. And Prince William’s red Irish uniform is gorgeous.”

Viktor & Rolf: “Kate’s dress was simply elegant. Her hair down was a beautiful and natural touch, and the tiara was stunning. She looked as at-ease as humanly possible and was radiant. Our compliments.”

Hubert De Givenchy: “The dress is very simple and very nice. The veil is a little flat, but because she has such a lovely face, she can afford to wear it this way. She is very pretty.” About choosing a dress from McQueen, whose founder committed suicide last year, De Givenchy said: “It’s a lovely thought, a nice tribute.”

Peter Copping of Nina Ricci: “Very much in a royal tradition, reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth’s – and a little bit Grace Kelly. She looks happy, radiant and natural.”

Elie Saab: “It was a very elegant dress, subtly refined and discreet, in keeping with her style. I would have liked it even more with a little extra volume and a longer train.”

Mark Badgley of Badgley Mischka, speaking for himself and James Mischka: "James and I have goose bumps! The dress is perfection and will stand the test of time. It is a classic Grace Kelly look. The skirt is divine. We love the hair down and the veil. The proportion is beautiful."

Alexis Mabille: “Kate’s dress is a classic; very elegant and pure…. It reminds me of Princess Grace’s wedding dress in a modern version with deeper cleavage, the draping at the back in reference to McQueen.”
Ralph Rucci of Chado Ralph Rucci, who noted that the dropped torso and panel construction of the skirt was especially beautiful: "I love it. I'm so glad she went with Sarah Burton, who is brilliant. The dress encompasses all the necessities of the protocal a future Queen should represent. It rings in a youthfulness that reflects the future monarchy."
