    Ok..no-one's mentioned it yet so I will...

    ...Tara Palmer Tomkinson.

    Gorgeous colour outfit...Kingfisher blue BUT her hat pointed at the very thing she dislikes about herself the most???

  • I didn't like it but since I'm not Kate Middleton my opinion doesn't matter. Nor does anyone else's who isn't Kate Middleton.

    I didn't see Tara P-T.

    The bride looked stunning and I thought the dress suited her and her own style perfectly. I don't think for one moment that the designer imposed anything upon her that she didn't want or like. I suspect that left to her own devices she could have designed it herself and still end up looking as beautifully elegant. Discrete good taste and understatement seem to be awfully old-hat these days and I think that it's a pity. Maybe the duchess will bring it back into fashion. I do hope so

    I think the York girls must have had Fergie as their stylist! She dropped some clangers in her day and they seem to following in her footsteps.

    Princess Anne - OMG. She is well known for recycling her outfits and wearing the same things for years to come but hopefully that monstrosity will be consigned to the back of the wardrobe for ever.

    What should Kate have been wearing instead?

    A strapless boob tube type with a HUGE tulle skirt and littered with swarovski crystals?

    Her dress will look just as stunning for many many more years to come ~ it's best that she didn't choose something fashionable, look at lady Di's dress. Very (80s!) with it at the time, but looking at it now, it's just like a bundle of rags and didn't look good at all.

    Her dress was fine but her stage make up was hideous.

    And what was with that ugly kid bridesmaid?

    I thought Kate looked stunning but the bridesmaid dress would have looked better on Kate and would have had the wow factor. Also thought Camillas outfit looked wonderful. Beatrice and Eugenie looked like the two ugly sisters from a panto. The Queen looked fabulous as always.

    I loved it - thought it set the tone for her reign as the future queen. It was classic elegant and showed off her very neat figure, without being a topless bottemless backless frontless monstrosity that some of the royal crowd seem to think its appropriate to fall out of nightclubs in.

    She looked happy, radiant and stunning - the abbey was dressed beuatifully in her style too, fitting of a princess. Far better than either dress in the 80's from the previous royals and she reminded me hugely of a young Grace Kelly - now there is a fashion icon in whose footsteps to follow.

    I thought that she looked absolutely stunning, the dress was classic & classy. A beautiful elegant young woman.
    The bridesmaids & page boys were gorgeous.
    The Princes looked (does anyone use the word dashing?) like Princes.
    Just what the country needs after all the doom & gloom.
    Could anyone decipher what Harry said to William after he took a look at Kate walking down the aisle?
