Until the wedding day no one knew who would be the designer of Kate Middleton's gown. Since her engagement to Prince William, this information has been one of the most closely guarded secret of the royal wedding. Kate Middleton, now the new Princes Catherine wore a wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen. The wedding dress is an ivory gown with lace applique floral detail. She is also wearing shoes by Alexander McQueen and wearing a Cartier ‘halo’ tiara lent by Queen Elizabeth.

Why did Princess Kate chose Alexander McQueen? The official royal wedding website posted a statement saying, “Miss Middleton chose British brand Alexander McQueen for the beauty of its craftsmanship and its respect for traditional workmanship and the technical construction of clothing." The wedding gown's train is six feet long and shaped perfect arc when seen above. 

Compared to the late Princess Diana's gown. Princess Catherine's train was shorter. But they are both elegant, beautiful and very simple.
