It was the Duchess of Cambridge’s wish that any details pertaining to her gown would be a surprise until her and Prince William’s wedding day. Media outlets immediately started to speculate on who landed the job. Bruce Oldfield? Diana’s wedding dress designers, David and Elizabeth Emanuel? Temperley London? In March, it leaked that Sarah Burton…
I have SO many thoughts about this. First off, this coming Friday marks five years since the royal wedding. To celebrate the union of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, it’s key that we remember moments leading up to and during the greatest live event of our time. Fans (me) were insatiable when it came…
I love the British royal family ever so much, but Queen Maxima is on my overall top five list of favorite royals (Prince Philip’s on that list as well). Today, Queen Maxima and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands kicked off a visit to Bavaria. When they arrived in Munich, Their Majesties popped over to the…
Today, Denmark’s royal family welcomed Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and his wife, Angelica Rivera for a state visit at Copenhagen International Airport. Crown Princess Mary, whose husband, Frederik, is the heir to the Danish throne, joined Queen Margrethe, Prince Consort Henrik, brother-in-law Prince Joachim, his wife, Princess Marie and the Queen’s younger sister, Princess Benedikte.
This is friggin’ precious. Day 4 of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s India tour was easily the most entertaining, because BABY ELEPHANTS and BABY RHINOS. The morning kicked off with an open-air drive around Kaziranga National Park, a World Heritage site.
You wait and wait for a soundbite on these tours, expecting it to come from either the Duke or Duchess of Cambridge. Tonight, that soundbite came from a guest at the Queen’s 90th Birthday Garden Party in New Delhi, who was so delighted to be in the presence of greatness that he plum forgot his…
Tonight, the Duke and Duchess attended a reception at Kensington Palace, where they met young Indian and Bhutanese people living in the United Kingdom. This was an opportunity for Their Royal Highnesses to learn more about each country’s people, culture and history. It was also an opportunity for the guests to be in the presence of…
I remember the first time I laid eyes on it. The date: June 11th, 2011. The Occasion: Trooping of the Colour, the official celebrations of the monarch’s birthday. Ah, what a site to behold. The cinching at the waist, the tiered skirt…it was a coat I shall always covet.
I love me a poofy, dramatic ball gown, so mine eyes were so pleased when Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi wore a Giambattista Valli to the 2016 Bal de la Rose. Tatler‘s Annabel Rivkin put it perfectly: “What’s the point of a ballgown unless it’s pouffy? There is no point. Not really. Because an evening dress becomes…
I’m a little jealous of the Duchess of Cambridge, aside from the obvious reasons (great hair, fit bod, happily married to a prince). You see, children, I envy Catherine’s ability to recycle an outfit and make it look brand-new. Not “gently worn” or “ran a Tide Stick over this grease stain” semi-clean. No, I mean…
