Princess Style Diary: Princess Beatrice
Princess Beatrice had a rough go at it back in 2011, when her squiggly Philip Treacy wedding hat put her on the fashion map — “worst hat ever,” was it? Maybe. But as a major royal (she’s William and Harry’s first cousin, granddaughter to Queen Elizabeth II and even Kate has to curtsy to her), Princess Beatrice has worn her fair share of toppers and there are inevitably some questionable picks in the mix.
Royal Wedding: Princess Madeleine of Sweden and Christopher O’Neill
Swedish Princess Madeleine fell in love in the Big Apple. Now she has said “yes” to New York banker Christopher O’Neill in a lavish and emotional wedding ceremony in Stockholm.
Madeleine was wearing a stunning white lace-top dress designed by Valentino Garavani when she tied the knot to British-American O’Neill on Saturday in front of around 470 European royals and top New York socialites.
Celebrity Wedding: CaCee Cobb and Donald Faison
On Dec. 15, Jessica Simpson served as the maid of honor at best friend CaCee Cobb’s wedding in LA. And in new exclusive photos obtained by Life & Style, the women are lovely as they pose underneath the glimmering sun in their beautiful gowns. CaCee, who married longtime boyfriend Donald Faison, stuns in her beautiful white wedding gown as Jess stands dutifully by her side in a black beaded number. One thing that matches between them? Their smiles.
Royal Bride: Prince Laurent of Belgium & Claire Coombs
Although details of the bridal gown have been kept top secret, royal watchers believe the dress will be created by Edouard Vermeulen. The prestigious designer was responsible for the wedding dresses of both Princess Mathilde and Princess Laurentien, the wife of Prince Constantine of the Netherlands. It has been confirmed that Claire will wear a vintage veil of Brussels lace which was worn by three generations of royal brides, beginning with Queen Paola’s grandmother Laura Mosselman du Chenoy in 1877. The veil will be paired with an antique tiara, a gift from the king and queen.
Celebrity Wedding: Amber Ridinger and Duane Mclaughlin
It was a big night for JR and Loren Ridinger. Daughter Amber married Duane McLaughlin in a no-expense-spared $5 million wedding. The young lovers made it legal at Ritz Carlton’s Reserve in Puerto Rico. The bride wore a dress by J’Aton Couture, custom powder blue bottom Louboutins and jewelry by Jacob & Co. The groom honored his grandfather, who was the first African American Navy Seal by wearing his naval uniform. Preston Bailey created a chapel erected completely of pink flowers for a fairy tale feel.
