Kate Middleton's dress resembled Grace Kelly's—but just how similar were they?


When Kate Middleton arrived at Westminster Abbey and revealed her stunning, elegant wedding ensemble, the world gasped. The dress—designed by Alexander McQueen protégé Sarah Burton—was classic and understated, evoking the quieter glamour of decades past. Fashion critics immediately began comparing the look to that of another commoner-turned-princess, Grace Kelly. Upon closer inspection, the similarities are undeniable. But was it intentional? Read on for our (slightly obsessive) investigation.

They were cheered by 500,000 well-wishers who gathered outside the palace, as RAF planes flew past in honour of the new royal couple.
Police estimate a million people lined the procession route from the abbey to the palace.
The bride will now be known as the Duchess of Cambridge.
The Queen is hosting a buffet reception at the palace for 650 guests.

The church service, watched by 1,900 guests, ran smoothly but the prince did struggle to place the wedding ring on the duchess's finger.
Following a long tradition, the ring has been fashioned from Welsh gold given to Prince William by the Queen.
After the couple said their vows, in which she did not promise to obey William, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Most Reverend Rowan Williams, declared: "I pronounce that they be man and wife together, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

They spent a private moment together with their families, as they signed the marriage register.
Prince William has been given the title of the Duke of Cambridge by the Queen, and Miss Middleton has become Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge on their marriage.
The duchess, who managed to keep her wedding dress a secret, is wearing an ivory and lace gown by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. The prince is wearing the red tunic of an Irish Guards colonel - his most senior honorary appointment.
