The wedding day
Loved being at the BBC press stand for BBC5live and BBC Radio 2 during the Wedding. the sense of occasion was amazing and really quite moving.
Looking forward to guesting on 5live again on the breakfast show in the morning 7.55am. We will be chatting about the Dress and the guest fashions- who got it right and who didn’t. Am I hearing a cry of Eugenie and Beatrice- so wrong- oh dear……..
Mother of the bride Carole Middleton and step-mother of the groom, the Duchess of Cornwall – perfect- appropriate, elegant and stylish- but Camilla’s pockets on the hip don’t flatter her bodyshape
A heavily pregnant Victoria Beckham with a great dress and hat but a six inch pair of Christian Louboutin courts are at least 4 inches too high
Tara Palmer Tomkinson – I like the whole outfit- it certainly makes Tara stand out from the crowd in the same way as the Queen’s yellow does- but the fashion press felt that it was all too much
Princesses Eugenie’s cobalt Vivienne Westwood outfit is just dreadful, especially on a curvaceous figure, whilst Princess Beatrice’s hat is the worst Phillip Treacy creation I have ever seen- The girls look like 2 panto dames. 
Miriam Clegg’s polka dot dress topped off with Carmen Miranda style floral turban – just not stylish
Samantha Cameron in a beautiful ruched, silk-crepe Burberry dress but where is the hat? Just all too casual.
Back in London for a 24hour working visit- Today I met up with a private client for a last minute fit and shop for bridal and honeymoon lingerie-
Tomorrow I’m commenting on The Wedding fashions for guest and Bride on BBC RADIO 5 LIVE sometime between 9.30ish and 11am
But how romantic is this??? …….my client today, in her mid-60’s, is marrying her childhood sweetheart who first proposed to her at the age of 17. She turned him down as circumstances didnt allow- they both married others, had children- then her husband died a few years ago. This first boyfriend appeared again in her life coincidentally 2 years ago and within the first 5 minutes of meeting they both knew that this time it was forever….. so the lingerie we shopped for today is for their wedding this weekend.
Loved this story and it just goes to show that its not just Kate and Wills who are having the wonderful romantic day- it can happen again in your 60’s too…….unexpectedly
You can hear my fashion commentary on BBC radio5 Live with Victoria Derbyshire tomorrow morning. (hope i can fight through the crowds to get to the media stand)!
Loving BOB MACKIE’s artwork.
Just had an exclusive preview of this sketch by the talented Mr Bob Mackie – his vision of our
Princess-in-waiting’s wedding dress. A sketch Bob did of what he envisions Kate should wear
on her wedding day.
QVC asked him, and other designers, to do a rendition for their own Wedding Boutique. See the sketches on QVC’s site.
“ROYAL WEDDING OF A LIFETIME” for the USA TV network, A&E.
will be shown on Mylifetime.com over 6 shows starting Monday 18th April at 11pm (not sure whether that is UK time)
I am appearing in shows 2 and 3. “Tale of 2 princesses at 8pm on 21st April and 9pm “Kate’s gown of renown” at 9pm.
It was such fun filming it as I was given a “Kate Middleton look-alike” to style and show how the real Kate would get the look both in a wedding dress and her day clothes.
Looking forward to the wedding on the 29th when I am commenting for BBC Radio 5 live on the fashions and The Dress.
Here is my hot pick selection of a few brand new season Bob Mackie Wearable Art fashions straight out of the packing box from the USA for my March QVC TV shows this week.
March 10th-2pm/8.50pm/9pm,
March 11th-10am/5pm,
March 12th-8pm
Look forward to seeing you on air – hope you love the new styles as much as I do!
Loving the artwork with the bold splash of colour- flattering neckline and sleeve length
A twist on the classic denim jacket – perfect for the summer – day or evening with the pretty flower embroidery detailing. Dress up or dress down!
Love the colour – pink is one of the hot trends for this season. The neckline is so flattering with the instantly slimming black vertical panel.
100% polyester floaty top which has that 70’s vibe that is hot off the catwalk

Kate Middleton’s sense of style
I’m filming an interview tomorrow with Renegade Pictures, for a series commissioned by A&E Networks in America which looks at the background & build up to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
I’ll be talking about Kate’s sense of style, how her choice of outfits has changed over the years, and how it might evolve in years to come.
The latest trend in celebrity fashion, as demonstrated by Cheryl Cole at the National Television Awards, is the “side boob”. The Sun were quick to pick up on it, in their article here.
To help you get the look, Ultimo have produced the “side cleavage bra” – you can buy this online now from my Red Carpet Undies website.
