For tonight's private reception hosted by Prince Charles, Kate Middleton changed into another dress by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, the Daily Mail reports.
Her second frock of the day is a beautiful white strapless satin gazar gown with silver diamante embellishment at the waist and a circle skirt. The bride paired it with a cropped angora sweater.
To complement the ensemble, she let down her brunette locks in a cascade of soft curls. The look is more relaxed than her half-up, half-down 'do from the ceremony.
Kate wore a long-sleeved dress with lace appliqué bodice, satin gazar pleated skirt and nine-foot train by the McQueen designer for her marriage service at Westminster Abbey earlier today.
This evening's event at Buckingham Palace, which will include dancing and dinner, is a much more intimate affair, with only 300 of the bride and groom's close friends and family on the guest list.

This woman looks outstanding in everything. I think she may bring angora back with this number...yay!
ReplyI agree, she looks stunning. She carries herself very well.
The angora sweater is nice, however, what's with the lumpy undergarment/bra???
I remember angora from college - wear an angora sweater and every man's jacket within 50ft will have angora fuzz - whether you have danced with them or not! LOL
A vision in white. Stunning. Breath-taking.
ReplyShe looks like a beautiful angel.
Well done, William! :D

Gorgeous....but pointy bras went out in the 60's and THAT was a good thing. Both dresses had sewn in bras that were way too pointy. Rounded woukd have been fabulous. She's so soft...and pointy is hard looking.
ReplyKate is a natural beauty no matter what she wears.
ReplyBeautiful bride and beautiful taste on both of the dresses.
