At Friday’s Royal Wedding, Kate Middleton and her sister Pippa became the most famous Alexander McQueen wearers in the history of the world. More than a year after his untimely death, British fashion designer, Alexander McQueen is sweeping the fashion world. Lead by famed Creative Director, Sarah Burton, who personally designed Kate and Pippa’s gowns, style moguls are in full out McQueen mania.
The Met Gala which took place last night is often called the Oscars of fashion. It is no surprise that McQueen dominated as Best Picture because this year’s gala honored the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s latest fashion exhibition entitled Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty. Gisele Bundchen (Pictured – Photo: Kevin Mazur, Getty Images) looked stunning in this red hot McQueen number. Sarah Jessica Parker also dawned Alexander McQueen. Madonna and Gwyneth Paltrow gave Stella McCartney an honorable mention on the red carpet, but no one can seem to get McQueen off their minds. Is it just me or is the world going British? I guess every Aspiring Socialite is a McQueen wearer in the making. Props to Sarah Burton on where she has taken the line. However, I hesitate to think that these two momentous McQueen events coincided by accident.
