All eyes will be on Kate Middleton come the royal wedding Friday — and what she chooses to wear. The gown designer and details have been kept hush-hush, but we asked some designer visionaries to create their ideal look for Middleton on her big day.
“I thought of Kate Middleton as a young, modern royal bride. I designed a dress that’s youthful and very much of our time. It’s made of hundreds of hand-pleated silk-gazar layers — very appropriate for the occasion.” — Rolando Santana (Sketch No. 1)
“This gown suits Kate’s modern sensibility while maintaining the traditional elements needed for a royal ceremony.” — Lela Rose (Sketch No. 2)
“The design features an ivory peau-de-soie ballgown with a fitted draped bodice featuring a bateau illusion neckline of Chantilly lace. The skirt is accented with lace appliqué, embroidery, and pearl and seed beads. For a designer, it’s exciting to create a wedding gown for a true princess with such a modern, chic sense of style. The gown is reflective of Kate’s young, fresh style, with a nod to tradition." — Amsale Aberra, designer of Amsale (Sketch No. 3)
“The gown [I] have envisioned Kate Middleton to wear for the wedding ceremony has a modern, body-conscious silhouette yet captures the elegance and grandeur befitting a royal bride with crystals amidst layers of tulle floating behind her down the aisle. It combines the richness and elegance you expect for a royal wedding, yet has the modern, fresh, light feeling for a young woman of today.” — Anne Bowen (Sketch No .4)

The royal wedding, for all it's been in the news, isn't until Friday. Do you have wedding fatigue?
No. I love hearing about every detail. Absolutely. Didn't we cross an ocean to get away from the monarchy? If you think of it as the world's primmest reality show, it's kind of interesting.
