Royal Wedding Roundup

lunchtime quickie: 8 links you'll lovecanada (Apr.29.11)

   


* Nothing says "British" to us like a bevy of seriously inventive hats. (Well, except for these, maybe.) Props to these 18 guests for rocking the most fascinating fascinators and creative chapeaus of the day. [Buzzfeed]

* Hearts may have been united today, but records were broken. Over 10.6 million people live-streamed the ceremony on the Net, shattering numbers held by the June 2010 World Cup. [Mashable]

* Fashion-critic Cojo went Cujo on Victoria Beckham's outfit, telling Us Weekly that Posh "looked like an extra in Twilight." We think she looked great, but if we had to choose a pop-culture doppelganger, we'd probably go with this one. [Us Weekly]

* Forensic lip reader Ruth Press caught the Prince telling Kate "You look beautiful. Yes, it looks fantastic, it's beautiful." as she walked toward him. Which might just be the understatement of the century. [Telegraph UK]

* Did Pippa Middleton steal Kate's thunder with her dress? We loved the look, but wasn't it more of an assist than a goal? [Globe and Mail]

* Kate Middleton worked hard to keep her dress veiled in secrecy, but so did Alexander McQueen designer Sarah Burton. In her official comment on working with the queen-in-waiting, Burton mentions her pledge to keep the gown a secret. We just wonder -- did she start that homemade-dress rumour, too? [Racked]

* While it's traditionally expected that the bride's family pay for the wedding, things should be a little different when you're marrying a Royal, right? Well, sort of. The Windsors are fronting the brunt of the massive wedding bill, Kate's family will still make a contribution to the day. And that, folks, is what we call a drop in the well[Globe and Mail]

*Kate's dress is sure to inspire some long-sleeve love in future brides. Want the look for yourself? Check out Flare's uncannily prescient collection of gowns with covered-up arms. [Flare]
