Future Queen Consort Catherine: Betting McQueen.
A few weeks ago I wrote about how one reporter claimed to have the inside scoop on Kate Middleton's dress for the wedding. The running rumor was that it Sophie Cranston of Libélula.

And while I don't think that it is just a rumor that Sophie Cranston will be doing a dress for Kate... I don't think she's doing THE dress. Sophie Cranston has sweet dresses. A little bohemian - which I of course love. She just doesn't have the high glamour that is needed for the dress Kate walks down the aisle at Westminster in. No, I think Sophie Cranston is doing one of the dresses that Kate will be wearing at one of the many parties/functions being thrown after the wedding tomorrow.
My bet is that it is Sarah Burton of the House of Alexander McQueen doing the dress. And here is why...
- The original rumor from a few weeks back was that it was McQueen. Till a denial came. (But they are always instructed to deny it.)
- Plum Sykes, who was a personal champion of McQueen in his early days and personal friend to him, had her wedding gown designed by McQueen a few years back. Plum let is slip on Good Morning America a few days back that Kate has looked at her McQueen gown. Why would she do that if she wasn't seriously considering McQueen?
- Style.com's "Look of the Day" has featured McQueen ALL THIS WEEK. Sure, one could argue that next week's opening of the McQueen exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC is the prompt for this... But I think it is also an indication of, "We know something you don't!"
"Look of the Day" - Tuesday
