Were you up at 5 am to see the royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William? It was beautiful. But the suspense was all about Kate's dress - and, like the whole universe was hoping ...
SHE WORE MCQUEEN!
Sarah Burton, creative director for Alexander McQueen, did both Kate's dress and Pippa's dress (which I loved... I think a lot of us were expecting a silhouette closer to Pippa's for Kate's gown). Now for the pictures!

Kate had an 8 foot train (Diana's was 25) - rumor has it Kate opted for a short train since she didn't want to outdo Diana and because she isn't of royal blood. |

Kate made a beautiful bride. The edging on the veil was divine! |

Good shot of the lace edging on the bodice. Kate also stuck to the rule of wearing sleeves in Westminster Abbey - but proved she was a modern girl by 1. wearing Alexander and 2. having the sleeves sheer! |

I was rather in love with her sister's dress - the shape, cowl and unique edge treatment were understated and gorgeous. |

Hand-covered buttons down the back of Pippa's dress. |

Hmm. |

And Queen Elizabeth's Bentley Arnage (custom designed) - new dream car. The color, the shape in the back, the length, the car was divine. The rest of the royal family rode in Rolls Royce Phantom VI cars. |
If you didn't watch the wedding, I highly urge you to. The ceremony was gorgeous, the choir was amazing, and the speakers were wonderful. Kate and William are adorable together!
