Royal Wedding 2018 - Best Dress Parade

By Liku Layuk Allo - June 03, 2018



How are you fellas? So, everybody must have watched the infamous Royal Wedding right? It was expected that people across the world would tune in on Saturday, May 19 to see the commoner- and American actress, Meghan Markle marry the British royal heartthrob, Prince Harry. People and social media (me included) went crazy on that day; stay still for hours to watch the lifetime event on our TV at home. Well, for me the most fascinating part was to see the guests.

Hundreds of A-list guests and aristocracy mingled and tried their best to pull their A-game, knowing the whole world will be watching. But who really pulled out all the stops? As a fan of classic-royalty-look since I was a little girl, I decided that this fashion-related post will be an exciting writing. So, here are my Top 9-best dressed guests at the big day (why not 10? because I only found 9 that I really like)!


Amal Clooney 


Almost ALL of the fashion pages and webs put Amal Clooney, leading human rights lawyer and wife of Hollywood actor George Clooney as the first in line. And I have to agree with that. Amal STOLE the show with mustard-yellow Stella McCartney dress, matching Stephen Jones hat, and Gianvito Rossi shoes. I have to say when she walked into the screen I gasped. That yellow color was EVERYTHING. Anyone who can wear bright yellow is someone to be envied. Hairdo and make up was very fitting as well. 100 for you, girl!


Lady Kitty Spencer


I saw this woman, wearing a beautiful forest-green dress by Dolce and Gabbana, and I was like: "Omg, who's this regal beauty? Which country does she rule?" Probably the prettiest face among all the guests, Lady Kitty shows the grace and elegance that resembles her late Princess Diana. I guess the Spencer blood can never do wrong.The flower-printed dress combined with matching feathered fascinator (probably the best part of her look) screams nothing but "royalty". The tailoring of the dress was perfect. And the pretty-orange shoes matches the flowers on her dress. 


Another pic to remind you how pretty this woman is. She might be a princess or a queen from a kingdom already. And her fascinator game is ridiculous. 


Pippa Middleton


Pippa Middleton, younger sister of Kate Middleton, looked stunning in a simple, light green and pink floral dress as she arrived with her husband, James Matthews. The color embraces spring time and very suitable with the wedding theme. So much elegance. If I have to choose between all these stunning attires, this dress is probably my personal choice to wear at the royal wedding. The grey (or creme?) suede-shoes and fascinator complemented the whole look perfectly. 


Sofia Wellesley


British singer, James Blunt, successfully scored an invitation to the royal wedding, but it's his wife who stole the show. Sofia became a major head-turnover for that embroidered floral dress from Red Valentino, creme fascinator and black pumps. I LOVE that dress. It was made for a skinny and tall person like her. And the embroidered floral? Next-level. Ribb collar? Yes. She looked pretty and vintage at the same time.


Doria Ragland


The mother of the bride looked simply elegant. This light green suit by Oscar De La Renta, the similar color on the hat, the shoes, and the clutch.. Stunning. The nude stocking was also a sign that the royals (or their stylist) has taught Ms. Ragland well on how to dress like royal.


Carole and Michael Middleton 


The parents of the royalties are stepping up their game, didn't they?? Firstly, I was referring to Carole Middleton, who looked chic in a dress with summer coat by Catherine Walker and matching fascinator. She completed the look with a small nude clutch and matching nude satin court shoes. A pair of diamond earrings could be seen as well. Then I see her husband, Michael, who looked equally stylish with coat, stripped pants, and matching his icy-blue inner and tie with his wife. I think he looked regal. They are my personal choice for the "it" couple that day. 


Sophie, Countess of Wessex


Another fashionable royal with a beautiful blue. I guess now we know why they say blue is "royal color". We have Sophie, Countess of Wessex, who once again demonstrated her classic style alongside her husband, Prince Edward and her two children. Sophie was the picture of elegance and grace. Pairing an embellished top with a baby blue duchess satin skirt, the stylish Countess finished her look with a Jane Taylor headpiece in the same hue. Media says, Sophie has been known for her classic dress sense and always gets her outfits spot on for the particular occasion. I love her whole look. Spot on, Ma'am.


Carey Mulligan


The actress attended the wedding wearing a dress from Erdem. Yass people, I think you can guess my mood now? I tend to approve the ladies in light color and floral aside from the rest! Carey happily joined the list of beautiful "floral ladies" and seemingly accurate as well on explaining the "spring-summer theme". Featuring a tie-neck, ruffle sleeves, a sash belt and all-over floral embroidery, Carey's maxi is the perfect choice for a wedding in the sunshine. The star topped off her look with a pair of grey suede heels, and toted a sophisticated white clutch. Carey swept her blonde tresses into a sleek updo, which was complemented with a white headpiece. The red lips was perfection. Me likey her so much.

Last but not least.....


David Beckham


Oh, hello. 
Honestly I am not Beckham's biggest fan, but, does this even need an explanation?

Looked even better than the groom himself, a man coming to a wedding like this must be judged as a crime. Guys just simply admire him and realize they will never wear a suit and shades this well and just accept that. He wore a three piece suit from Dior. And a flashy sunglasses. And killer smile.



Seriously.


What?


Bye, Victoria

Just like they say, David Beckham is like a fine wine. He just gets better with age. He was the Beyonce of the wedding guests. 


So who was your favorite best-dressed guest from the royal wedding? Let me know!
