Happy Birthday Kate Middleton! We Remember a Year in the Duchess’ Style
As the Duchess of Cambridge, aka Kate Middleton celebrates her thirtieth birthday, we take a look at her sartorial highlights from the past year…

Kate Middleton in Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton
From the moment the Royal Engagement was announced in that blue Issa dress, the British Public (all at Grazia HQ included) have been fascinated by Kate Middleton and her loyalty to the British high street. She’s shifted much more dresses this year than all the other A-listers put together – in fact, we bet far more females will be wearing the Zara lace print dress that Kate wore to a charity concert earlier this month (which sold out in hours!) this NYE than any other designer!

Princess Anne at Zara Phillip’s Wedding
Written by Adele Booth

Mother of the bride…did nobody else believe Princess Anne was by FAR the most clued-up sassy and stylish lady at this weekend’s other Royal Wedding?! Check out the pleated skirt, courts and neutral tones (not to mention a statement jacket alright)- this Princess knows the summer boxes to tick! Forget Beatrice, Eugenie and Catherine for all the attention they have hogged all year- long reign generation Anne and Elizabeth!

CQ Gallery: Zara Phillips Wedding
Zara Phillips married rugby player Mike Tindall at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh, Scotland, right now. She wore an ivory silk dress and full-length veil by royal favorite designer Stewart Parvin. She wore Jimmy Choo shoes and a Greek Key tiara lent to her by her mother Princess Anne, who also looked quite stylish.
Of course the most high-profile guests had been Prince William and Kate Middleton, referred to as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn while in Scotland, as well as Prince Harry. Kate was rather surprisingly wearing white! She wore a cream-colored printed coat, dress and hat. Haven’t you had enough bridal attention, Kate?
Princess Beatrice wore a vibrant blue number with a statement-producing clutch, while Princess Eugenie went with a brown and cream colorway. Katherine Kelly may possibly claim the greatest hat prize in a floppy tangerine topper.

Zara Phillips boards Royal Yacht Britannia for pre-wedding party

Time for an additional royal wedding! The Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips is set to marry rugby player Mike Tindall in Edinburgh, Scotland on Saturday. Tonight numerous royals are expected to party aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia to kick off the festivities.
No word on if William and Kate, to be referred to with their Scottish titles the Earl and Countess of Strathearn even though in Scotland, will attend tonight but they will be at the wedding tomorrow. It will be their very first public appearance given that the Canada Tour.
“Amongst the last-minute preparations at Canongate Kirk, in the Scottish capital: the installation of white roses and beech tree branches, and the delivery of other white blooms, such as carnations and stargazer lilies. And, Zara, Mike and Princess Anne were spotted arriving Friday evening for the rehearsal,” according to Individuals.
Zara Phillips to wed in Queen’s favourite designer, Stewart Parvin
Just when it seems we have had our fill of royal weddings for one year, yet another 1 is rapidly on the approach. Zara Phillips and her rugby star fiancé, Mike Tindall, are set to marry on June 30th.
Rather of waiting until the big day, the daughter of Princess Anne has revealed who will be designing her wedding gown, and no it’s not Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen! She has chosen her grandmother, the Queen’s favourite designer, Stewart Parvin.
According to Grazia, the 30-year-old is expected to wear some thing “modern day and chic,” as oppose to Kate Middleton’s wedding dress which had far more classic, vintage feel.
The Best and Worst Hats and Fascinators of the Royal Wedding
After the dress, the royal wedding is really all about the hats. And fascinators.
Some opted for opulence while others stuck to tradition, and some looked as though they either over thought or put no thought into their head gear at all. Among the best were the devilishly elegant Zara Phillips, Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria, and Queen Sofia and Princess Letizia of Spain.
But there were some who buckled under the pressure, as you will see after the jump.

The List of Royal Wedding Attendees is Out, We Pick Their Outfits For the Big Day
It’s come to the point that Royal Wedding Mania might be a diagnosable disease. While I’ve been trying to remain aloof, day by day it becomes increasingly more difficult to avoid. I was finally sucked in today after the guest list was released, meaning I spent all day picking out outfits for the ten most fashionable attendees (outside the wedding party).
Amongst the Golden Ticket holders (it does feel a little like Willy Wonka doesn’t it?) are the Beckhams, Elton John, Mario Testino, and Joss Stone, naturally.
Click through to see what we hope the Royal Wedding attendees wear, and be warned, our picks are a little (OK, a lot) non-traditional for Westminster Abbey (bare shoulders! gasp!).
