The Royal Dressing

A week has passed, and sitting here in what remains of the afterglow of a spectacular royal wedding, I'd like to take a quick look back at the fashion that marked the occasion... 


For me the chic-est dressed at the Royal Wedding has to be Princess Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece. She wore Chanel couture in soft grey and a daring hat by Philip Treacy. The look was topped off by the most delectable peep toe platform Mary-Jane's by who else but Christian Louboutin in matching grey suede.



 


















A close second was Princess Letizia of Spain who wore a pleated chiffon dress by Felipe Varela. This was a very soft feminine outfit echoed by her loose curls worn under a traditional shaped tulle hat by Pablo y Mayaya. The choice of hat showed us that less sometimes, is more. Princess Letizia stayed faithful to Spanish design throughout and chose heels by Magrit an established family-owned brand from Alicante. 




 








Neither of these women chose to wear jackets and their outfits were matching from their hats to their handbags. I think there's something modern and fluid by choosing not to wear a jacket and having everything coordinated keeps it chic.
