Westminster Abbey Red Carpet Continues...
Proper Becks: David and Victoria BeckhamFootballer and all-around HUNK,
David Beckham--and his wife
Victoria--were "special guests" of
William and Catherine and EVERYONE was awaiting their arrival. They stood with the rest of the invited guests in the
"You Are Not Real Royalty" line--it's like an "Economy Class" Airport Security Line (as opposed to Premium Class). Needless to say, they acted and looked very Posh & Proper.
David, always a dandy when it comes to style looked handsome in his
Morning Suit with top hat and silver satin cravat. Although many are docking him style points for apparently wearing his Office of the British Empire Medal on the wrong lapel!! Que Horror!
Besides those
SKY HIGH Stilettos (hello, isn't she like 6 months pregnant??), Miss Victoria wore...
A tent-like dress from her own
Victoria Beckham Fall/Winter 2011/12 Collection, seen above on the runway in brick red. Hers was a dark (almost black) navy blue. Her hat was from
Philip Treacy. I really thought Mrs. Beckham was going to wear a
"Va Va Voom" fitted dress that she would have had custom made to fit her growing tummy. But nope, she went the comfy route.
The Other Queen: Sir Elton John and his partner David Furnish also went the
Posh & Proper route, both choosing to wear elegant
Morning Suits--as was suggested...strike that!... REQUIRED, in the Wedding Invitation. Many people expected Miss Elton to be all crazy and wear a fuchsia
Versace suit but really kids, he hasn't done that in years and he knows that a Royal Wedding is NOT the place and time for that. I liked how Elton was the one giving you hints of color with his lemon yellow waistcoat/vest and violet tie. Proper...but with a "twist".
Cobalt Lady: Tara Palmer-TomkinsonSocialite, "It Girl", TV presenter and all around "British Paris Hilton"
TPT (as she's dubbed in the UK) wore cobalt blue HEAD TO TOE, with her dress matching her hat, gloves, shoes and clutch. When I first saw her on TV lining up in that
"Economy Class Westminster Abbey Line", I was like
"WHO is Miss FIERCE???". Leave it to Tara to not want to blend in. No pastels or blush colors for her, darling! I think she's FAB!
I love women who KNOW they have an "Inner Drag Queen" and aren't afraid to use it! Especially at Royal weddings! How did she get invited again???
Swedish Class: Crown Princess Victoria in Elie Saab Spring/Summer 2011--and her husband, Prince Daniel of Sweden (she's going to be Queen someday!) was one of my favorite royals at the
William & Catherine Wedding. She looked every inch a "modern/next generation" princess. No fussy suits, no coat-and dress combination. Nope, just a sexy, side gathered salmon-colored dress from Lebanese designer
Elie Saab and a variation on a dress from his
Ready-to-Wear Spring/Summer 2011 Collection. A wide brimmed hat and matching shoes finished off her look.
Why, though, is there something about Daniel that makes me want to slap him upside the head? Like a student who's trying to get one over on me...that's what he reminds of...Just sayin'
The New Grace Kelly: Prince Albert of Monaco with his fiancée, Charlene WittstockAnd then there's
Prince Albert's fiancée, the statuesque
Charlene Wittstock, who was born in the former British colony of Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). Their upcoming nuptials on July 2, 2011 is
THE next "Royal Wedding of The Century" in case you wanted to know and Armani is designing her wedding gown. Until then, we can all live in the splendor that is Charlene above as she arrives--Prince in hand. Dove-gray princess seamed coat, stand-up Peter Pan collar, gloves, clutch, nude heels and sleek wide-brimmed hat. Her mother "done taught her right". She knows what it takes to look like a Royal darlings. Seriously.
