Wedding Dress Worth

Author: Sandy



THE Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress has raised £10 million in ticket sales, after becoming the star attraction of Buckingham Palace's annual summer opening last year. Over 620,000 members of the public attended the display, which focused the gown as its centerpiece, with visitor numbers rising 52 per cent higher than that of the previous year.

Director of the Royal Collection Jonathan said "Unprecedented numbers came to see the Duchess' wedding dress, as the centerpiece of a special display celebrating the role of British design,”

Visitors were also able to see the Robinson Pelham diamond earrings given to Catherine by her parents for the wedding day, as well as her handmade silk shoes and the royal wedding cake designed by Fiona Cairns.

The news comes despite the Queen famously referring to the exhibit as "very creepy" - in reference to the way in which the gown, Cartier tiara and veil were displayed on a headless mannequin.

Author: Sandy

Two of the hats of the Duchess of Cambridge each recovered over double their estimated prices by asking an auction held yesterday in Bermondsey.

Black and White hat by The Phillip Somerville was sold for £3,120 - compared to its £1,000 - £1,500 estimate, which is worn by the Duchess to Prince William’s Order of the Garter presentation in June 2008; While the black Aurora hat, seen on the 30-year-old royal at friend Harry Meade’s wedding in October 2010, sold for £3,600 - rather than its £1,000 - £1,500 estimate. Both the hats are bought by an American bidder, were borrowed for the occasion.

Although the Duchess' wardrobe has made countless headlines this week (reports have suggested that her annual fashion spending was over £30,000), the Queen's eternal style has also had a powerful impact on the shopping world of late. Over the Jubilee weekend, Her Majesty stepped out in three custom-made Lautner handbags - causing the label's sales to rise by 58 per cent.

Author: Sandy




ANAIS GALLAGHER is following the footsteps of Cindy Crawford's daughter Kaia Gerber in becoming a new model star. The 12-year-old beauty clicked in her first photo shoot, with her mother Meg Matthews to accompany her.

Anais Gallagher – who is the daughter of Matthews and her former husband Noel Gallagher - strikes fashion headlines in January this year, when her mother Meg tweeted a black and white picture of Anais taken by Mario Testino. With her heart-shaped face, loose, flowing hair and high cheekbones, Anais was quickly hyped as the next Kate Moss - comments her mother has decided not to respond to.

Gallagher is currently signed with Select Models, the agency that also represents Agyness Deyn and Natasha Poly, although she will not commence professional modeling jobs until she is older. Her first shoot (photographed by Alisa Connan), sees her blowing bubbles, while wearing a pink varsity-style jacket.
