Dress Code for the Royal Wedding
Dress Code for the Royal Wedding
A morning ceremony
Invitations for the royal wedding were mailed out last week, and loads more details about the impending nuptials are coming in, such as who will be attending the big event and what guests will be wearing! While rumors are swirling that wedding outfitter Bruce Oldfield will be designing Kate Middleton's gown, we now know for sure what attendees must wear to the Westminster Abbey wedding, as the dress code was printed on the invitations: "uniform, morning coat or lounge suit." Sounds stuffy and conventional, but this formal attire can actually be quite fun and even colorful. Check out some examples of each, plus info on the spectacular hats Middleton has requested!
Queen Elizabeth II in "morning dress"
Typical "morning dress" is clothing that fits somewhere between ultra-formal and business wear. It is traditionally worn until 6 p.m., and for women, it usually includes a hat and, often, gloves. Mini-dresses are forbidden in this dress code and if pants are worn they must be accompanied by a coat. The Queen is well-known for this look—especially her bright coats and matching hats—as exhibited here. Her hands are covered and her blouse matches the flower atop her head. Nice attention to detail!
Middleton's take on morning dress
Kate Middleton wore this a blue printed coat and hat to a wedding in 2009.

The first lady wore a lemongrass Isabel Toledo coat over a matching shift dress with green gloves to the inaugural events in 2009.
Morning coats
These are, by definition, single-breasted coats where the front is cut away, leaving “tails” in the back. They were originally designed to make it easier for the wearer to ride a horse.

What a handsome dude. We love Kate Middleton's outfit here as well, but it may be too casual for the occasion.
Morning coat and hat
Prince Charles has upped the ante on his formal attire with the addition of a top hat.
Lounge suit 
These suits typically consist of striped or checked pants, a waistcoat, and a formal shirt and tie. Oh, why hello, good sir!

Uniforms
Prince Andrew is Commander in the Royal Navy and wore a naval uniform at his wedding to Sarah Ferguson. He will be attending Kate and Wills' wedding—and most likely wearing a uniform—but his ex-wife Fergie did not receive an invitation.
Hats!
Awesome milliner Philip Treacy has been enlisted by Middleton to make custom hats for some of the guests, and possibly her veil. This is one of his creations on the bride-to-be.

Celebrities Worst Fashion Mistakes
We all have our regrets, epecially when it comes to fashion!
Many celebrities and fashionistas attend runway shows at New York Fashion Week, but even the most fabulous women make style missteps from time to time. We hit the tents and asked every star we could speak with the same question: “What was your worst fashion moment ever?” Some celebs were reluctant to answer, but many laughed and happily shared their past outfit disasters. Here are their honest and hilarious answers along with many of the horrible looks in question—yes, we tried our best to track them all down. Sorry, ladies!
Jennifer Love Hewitt, actress
“It’s very easy. I wore nude suede pants, and a corset that was short with my stomach showing to “The Beach” premiere. Why I did that I have no idea. And I crimped my hair with it on top of it. It was absolutely horrible. I’m surprised they didn’t kick me out of the business.”
Linda Gray, actress and former “Dallas” star
“There’s a picture of the whole cast in front of Southfork [Ranch] and a wardrobe lady said, ‘Oh here, just put this on’ and I said, ‘But it feels like a dish rag!’ It felt like a dish cloth. [Ed: note Gray's yellow top, above right.] And she said, ‘Oh no. Nobody’s ever gonna see this picture.” It’s famous. And every time I look at that picture and I have to sign it, I cringe, and I think, I will never put something on just because they think it’s right... And of course there were all the shoulder pads in the ‘80s. They were so big I couldn’t get in the door!”
Jill Zarin, star of “The Real Housewives of New York City”
“A Gucci top for one of my interviews on ‘The Real Housewives.’ I look like my grandma... on not a good day. It just made me look very top heavy, and that’s when I decided to get my boobs reduced. I looked horrible.”
Kristi Yamaguchi, champion Olympic figure skater
“Oh yeah, a lot! A lot of skating costumes. Olympic year, which was ‘92 so you have to remember it was early ‘90s, I wore this lame costume that was red, white, and blue, and it was really kind of atrocious, looking back. [Laughs] With the ‘90s mall hair.”
Julia Stiles, actress
“Oh, I have so many fashion regrets, but we don’t need to dwell on those. I try to move on from those. Probably all of college was a big fashion regret. I just think I hadn’t quite grown up yet, and I dressed a little too sloppy.”
Kelly Osbourne, singer/model/tv host and daughter of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne
“Probably what I wore to the Clive Davis party a few years ago, because I had this wig on, and I looked terrible.”
Sofia Coppola, director
“Oh yeah. Yeah, of course. Everyone does [have fashion regrets]. I don’t really want to describe it for you, but I’ve had my moments.”
Gabrielle Union, actress
“Oh god. Probably what I wore to the “Bring it On” premiere a thousand years ago.”
Ramona Singer, star of “The Real Housewives of New York City”
“I had boots like these these but they were very fitted, but they were like, fake snake. And like, what was I thinking? They were poly snake boots. They were like a python look. At the time I thought they were cool, but looking back a season later, I’m like, ‘what, was I crazy?’”
Rose McGowan, actress
“Well, I have worn some things that don’t square with my personality, because my family nickname is Miss Priss. I’ve tried a couple things that aren’t so prissy, which is odd for me.”
Kellie Pickler, singer and former “American Idol” contestant
“My mullet! I used to have a mullet. Yeah, that wasn’t pretty.”
Eva Amurri, actress and daughter Susan Sarandon
“When I was in middle school, I wore a lot of cropped tops during the Britney Spears era, and that’s probably not the best look for a 12-year-old.”
Ashanti, singer
“It was for one of my first appearances on MTV. It was a leather corset and it had, like, these strings dangling down, but on camera it looked like I had a hairy stomach. I really didn’t like that."
Michelle Tractenberg, actress
“I wore a head-to-toe leopard ensemble for one of the “Charlie’s Angels” premieres, but I was 15 so I think that was OK. And then to a “Toy Story” premiere I wore a crushed velvet olive green head-to-toe catsuit with, like, spiders on it and faux fur sleeves. That was a classic, yeah, I need to bring that back into style.”
Lo Bosworth, former star of MTV’s “The Hills”
“Trucker hats! [Laughs] I wore them in high school.”
Keri Hilson, singer
“It’s probably not too far in the past. That always happens. I didn’t love what I wore on VH1 Divas. Not the threesome performance with Jennifer [Nettles], and Katy [Perry], not that. But what I wore for my solo performance, I didn’t love it. It’s all about flattering, and it looked like I had a diaper on. When I saw photos then I really knew how bad it was.” (Said "diaper" outfit pictured right.)
June Ambrose, celebrity stylist
“Recently I had on a pantsuit and photographers on the red carpet don’t tend to shoot you from the angle you want, and I looked like I was four feet tall. But in the past, back in the day: a pink cow print Fendi coat.”
