“Marry Prince William? I’d love that. Who wouldn’t want to be a princess?” – Britney Spears
Sorry Brit, that ship has sailed.
This Friday, April 29th marks one of the biggest days in nuptial history. Prince William of Wales KG FRS (William Arthur Philip Louis; born June, 21st 1982), the elder son of Charles, Prince of Wales, and the late Diana, Princess of Wales – will marry Catherine Elizabeth “Kate” Middleton (born January 9th, 1982). In full royal-fashion, their Westminster Abbey wedding has earned the UK a bank holiday. After their engagement was announced last year (November 16th, 2010), the world has been counting down to the big day. Who will Kate be wearing? It’s rumored to be the British fashion house of the late Alexander McQueen. 4 more days… until the festivities begin at 4am EST.
Matt Lauer and Meredith Viera will host a NBC Royal Special Wednesday, and E! News will also be on the scene. Not to mention the blogosphere and press coverage from the 1,000 BBC and 400 CNN workers assigned to the wedding. For those of us without an invite (or plane ticket), we can wake up in the early North America hours to our TVs and royal-high-tea. I’ve already got a date.
And for the countless women (myself included) following Kate’s style – her red suit above is Luisa Spangoli, paired with a Hollie de Keyser belt purchased from a Knightsbridge boutique. Her trench coat is by Burberry – selling out within one day of her wearing it (how Oprah-effect). And finally, her hot-blue dress worn while attending a wedding at St Andrews with William is by Issa. Her go-to London designer also responsible for her November engagement announcement dress. While Kate’s turned down offers to grace the cover of VOGUE, and keeps quiet while William shines – we can’t help but LOVE this girl next door turned princess and future Queen of England. Not bad.
What will she be wearing next? Her family’s new coat of arms. It just keeps getting better for Kate.
While celebrities and those in the fashion industry get to preview clothing two seasons ahead at the runway shows (Rachel was front-row no less!), spring-summer 2011 is finally here for everyone! And the colors are bright. Rachel’s bright berry pink Christian Dior Spring 2010 RTW Silk Georgette Dress is right on trend. Paired with her “Lady Dior” Clutch, Christian Dior Pre-Fall 2010 Triple Buckle Pumps, and black fitted blazer – there’s no question, Bilson’s at her berry best.
Rachel is no stranger to berry pink. This color works on her and she knows it. When you’re trying on color this spring, remember to keep everything else neutral. Black is safe against strong brights – and a blazer can always come off into the day or evening… Rachel’s sexy hair doesn’t hurt either.
It’s Lá Fhéile Pádraig!! Irish for Saint Patrick’s Day. One day a year when EVERYONE’s Irish… or can at least get a little feisty. So while green nails are a trend gladly left in 2010, today they’re a DO!
Looking for an $$$ investment bag to take you from the office, school run, lunch – to wherever your night takes you? Roberto Cavalli’s “DIVA” tote IS IT. Rachel first introduced us to this bag when she wore it last fall at his 40th anniversary party in Paris – and now, it’s available to the rest of us. The dashing diva will get a lot of mileage out of the black, and for the daring… consider perforated cream. Big enough to fit your iPad, laptop, water bottle, camera, or even gym clothes.
This bag’s luscious leather, leopard silk lining and gold hardware say it all. Subtle branding with RC’s logo is a regal logo I can’t help but love…with it’s inherent structure it’s a timeless classic.
Jessica Alba, Penelope Cruz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Katie Holmes, Cameron Diaz, Rachel Bilson, Jennifer Aniston, Nicole Richie, Halle Berry, Drew Barrymore all rock the red carpet… PERFECTLY.

3 – Nicole Richie reminded us why she’s California-cool in a pair of denim cutoffs, white collarless shirt, black Winter Kate crochet vest, opaque tights, and black suede Christian Louboutin booties promoting her Winter Kate line at Bloomingdales in New York last February.
