We all know that celeb weddings set the trend of the rest of us poor common folk, and many people quite rightly predicted the boom in lace detail following the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Given how she's set up a fashion label as well as a vintage clothing boutique with her sister Sarah Owen, all eyes were on the sometimes-wacky-sometimes-uber-chic Lily Allen to see what she would be wearing on her big day.
And I have to say... I was rather taken aback.
We all know that vintage is 'the' by-word in wedding culture at the moment, and many brides spend hours traipsing around charity shops in a bid to find their perfect antique dress. In her line of work, I would be very surprised if Lily hasn't come across a dress or two like this, so why go to all the bother (not to mention expense) of making this 'modern' vintage, lacy oddbox.
Especially those Princess Leia earmuffs. We can all see the Rag Time influence in this dress, but this detail feels overblown and over the top to the point of being ridiculous. It seems such a shame too when the rest of the cap headdress looks rather pretty.
For a high profile fashionista wedding such as this, fashion etiquette cannot be entirely forgotten, but that's exactly what the bride's business partner Sarah seems to have done. That is FAR too much cleavage on show. And who told her that those shoes go with that dress?? Okay so she's got to draw attention to her outfit in order to get notice for her business, but is upstaging the bride really the way to go?
Having said all that, given the rough year Lily's had, it's nice to see her with a beaming smile on her face. No matter what a bride looks like or does, we should always wish her well. Marriage is a tricky business and the wedding is just the start.
