All eyes were on Pippa Middleton today as she walked up the aisle in her amazing Giles Deacon wedding dress, which she paired with a custom Stephen Jone veil, Maidenhair Fern tiara and gorgeous Manolo Blahnik wedding shoes with pearl detail.
But everyone was dying to know what Kate would wear too, seeing as it definitely wouldn't be a bridesmaids dress (protocol oblige). It turns out the Duchess made a subtle nod to her own wedding day, by choosing an outfit by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen.
The pale pink silk midi dress featured bell sleeves and a cinched waist, and she accessorised it beautifully with a matching fascinator and suede heels.
Normally everything she wears sells out instantly, but sadly this one is custom made, so you won't be able to buy the exact one. However, we found this very similar style, also by McQueen.
We reckon it'll go fast though, so be quick if you want to recreate Kate's wedding guest look.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).
Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.
However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.
Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
