Did you like Kate’s dress?

By Amelia Robinson | Friday, April 29, 2011, 10:24 AM

Kate, the new Duchess of Cambridge, was more Grace Kelly than Princess Diana in the her spectacular Alexander McQueen wedding gown by designer Sarah Burton.

She married Prince William on Friday morning, April 29, in London. Read more about the wedding here.

Kate’s striking v-neck, scallop lace dress’s train measured 8.8 feet. It reminds many of the dress Kelly wore for her marriage to Prince Rainier of Monaco in 1956.

Kelly’s gown, made by costumer Helen Rose and the wardrobe department of MGM, was “truly designed by Hollywood,” says Brides’ Martini Bratten.

Diana’s famed silk taffeta, ivory wedding dress had a 25-foot-long train and 10,000 tiny mother-of-pearl sequins and pearls. She wore it for her wedding on July 29, 1981.

I declare Kate’s dress awesome, but what do you think?
