Do you think Kate Middleton will leave the British designers behind and go with one of these gowns?

Kate Middleton Wedding Dress Sketches: Karl Lagerfeld, Missoni, Rachel Roy

Karl Lagerfeld

K-Lag wants Kate Middleton to sport an open front Victorian dress with high boots. Imagine Karl Lagerfeld walking her down the isle, rolling deep with a posse consisting of Blake Lively and all his little man toys in Victorian outfits. Ah, one can only dream for such ridiculousness.

Missoni

Kate Middleton getting married in Missoni? Can you picture it? So long as the reception is decked out with decorative pieces donning the fashion house’s signature zig-zag print. Again, dreaming.

Rachel Roy

Love Rachel Roy and what she does with floor-length gowns. Surprised more celebrities haven’t enlisted her to create their bridal looks.

Have you seen Prabal Gurung, Monique Lhuillier and Vera Wang’s sketches?

Quote Du Jour: Michael Kors on Kate Middleton- “I would liken her to [Michelle] Obama and Carla Bruni”

Michael Kors

“When Barack Obama first became well known and everyone started looking at Mrs. Obama, I thought to myself, ‘This is a very different, modern-looking couple.’ When I designed the outfit for Michelle’s first official portrait, no one thought she would wear matte jersey, but she did. Past women in the same position had always worn a tailored suit. When I look at Kate I see a changing of the guard in what is considered elegant. She likes to look easy but chic. I would liken her to Obama and Carla Bruni in that way. All these women are in situations where they are shaking off the formal suits of their predecessors.”

Rumor: Kate Middleton Chooses Bruce Oldfield to Design Wedding Dress

Bruce Oldfield, designer to London’s elite and Princess Diana herself has been tipped as Kate Middleton’s wedding dress maker.

Paddy Power, an Irish bookie, saw an increase of royal wagers placed on Bruce Oldfield. These bets were bigger than the rest starting at 500 pounds.

“Although we didn’t expect a betting plunge on the dress designer to happen quite so soon, when the stakes changed from fivers and tenners to hundreds of pounds, it appears as though the cat is out of the bag”, said Power.

A spokesperson for Oldfield denied the comment but when the dress battle began last month Oldfield told WWD, “If I was lucky enough to be asked, I’d be delighted. I’m already dressing her peers.”

She would look gorgeous in one of his dresses.
