Everyone’s talking about the Duchess of Cambridge‘s Alexander McQueen wedding gown, so it’s only appropriate for other designers to critique it!
Here’s what some of the non-chosen ones had to say:
Christian Lacroix:
“I like the dress very much, simpler than expected: A combination just in between 1956 Grace Kelly and 1947 Queen Elizabeth dress. I love the modest veil with the Queen Mother├óΓé¼Γäós Thirties scroll tiara and balanced volume of the whole gown. She├óΓé¼Γäós radiant; She never was so beautiful. And Prince William├óΓé¼Γäós red Irish uniform is gorgeous.”Hubert de Givenchy:
“The dress is very simple and very nice. The veil is a little flat, but because she has such a lovely face, she can afford to wear it this way. She is very pretty.”Donatella Versace:
“Kate’s dress was beautiful. She looked very regal.”Mark Badgley of Badgley Mischka:
“James and I have goose bumps! The dress is perfection; and will stand the test of time. It is a classic Grace Kelly look. The skirt is divine. We love the hair down and the veil. The proportion is beautiful.”Tory Burch:
“Kate looked stunning. Choosing Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen reflects Kate├óΓé¼Γäós modern aesthetic and style, but the handmade lace details and craftsmanship are a great nod to British tradition. The lace, the clean lines of the dress, Queen Elizabeth├óΓé¼Γäós tiara├óΓé¼ΓÇ¥every detail was stunning.”Donna Karan:
“The dress was extremely elegant. For me, it wasn├óΓé¼Γäót so much about the dress though, it was all about her. She was the most beautiful bride in the world.”Francisco Costa:
“Kate├óΓé¼Γäós dress had a classic elegance with a modern edge. The superb detailing really characterized Sarah├óΓé¼Γäós expert hand.”Valentino:
“I loved the dress..it was very simple and young even if an hint of Grace Kelly’s dress spoke of 1950s! I loved the flounce on the back of the skirt and the little decoration all around the short veil. I loved the choice of the tiara: simple,pretty, very right for the dress and for her attitude..it was used almost as an hairpiece to keep the hair and the veil, not as a heavy decoration. Compared to the famous Diana├óΓé¼Γäós dress, Diana├óΓé¼Γäós was a dress of a fairytale princess.. still a dress everybody remembers.. Kate├óΓé¼Γäós one is a very pretty, modern dress that will be copied everywhere but lacks that fairytale element.”
