| The Duchess of Cambridge and The Duchess of Cornwall before the Wedding Supper |
One McQueen was not enough. The Duchess of Cambridge chose to change into another exquisite McQueen gown for the wedding supper. With her hair down, a jewel encrusted belt and an angora bolero sweater, she looks like a happy bride ready to party.
While neither gown really looks like the avant-garde stuff of a McQueen runway show, no doubt both gowns have the details of workmanship and tailoring that define the McQueen label.
Sarah Burton must be ready to collapse with exhaustion. She only has a few days to recover before the Costume Institute gala and the official opening of the McQueen exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Wednesday. The Met blog is up and running if you want a sneak peak before my review. Check it out here.

Although I think she yet again and as ever, looks incredibly graceful and stylish and understated, I confess to holding out a wee bit of hope that she might splash out during the evening affair and 'ruffle-up' the party dress a little more a la McQween. The wedding dress - so decidedly understated and classic gave her the perfect platform to shine as a person and not as a mannequin, but the black tie affair called for a little more 'razzle' me thinks.
I love this gown as well...I don't know why though, I just have this feeling she changed into something more fun for the party Harry planned into the wee hours with friends..wonder what the fashion scoop is on that?
Was thinking of you Ingrid while watching the Royal Wedding. I am sure you were loving the design, execution, and results. Both dress were lovely, her wedding dress is growing on me and I thaought the reception dress was adorable, youthful, and elegant.
It was a fun day to watch. Much love XO
Another gorgeous creation from Sarah Burton. I have to say I'm not a diamanté fan, but the shape of the gown is gorgeous, and I love the angora bolero.
