The Slideshow You’d See at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Wedding

Apr 28, 2011 @ 8:00 pm

You know how many couples now include a slideshow presentation at their weddings of their happiest couple-y moments? While we have our doubts that this kind of thing would happen during the royal reception of Prince William and Kate Middleton, that doesn’t mean we can’t pretend! That’s why we gathered all of the cutest couple moments of the Prince and his Princess-to-be in their near decade-long courtship. So cue up Elvis’ “I Can’t Help Falling in Love with You” and click through to see Will and Kate—the way they were.

TUNE IN! Check back with InStyle.com bright and early Friday morning—we’ll be live-blogging and covering the event as it unfolds!

Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps Celebrate Diamonds and More!

Apr 28, 2011 @ 5:46 pm

Last night’s party for Irene Neuwirth’s diamond collection at Barneys New York drew quite the celebrity crowd, including famous best friends Busy Philipps and Michelle Williams (in Prada) who stole away from the action to rest their feet on the store’s comfy leather chairs. InStyle‘s reporters also hit up a slew of New York events, including a Lenscrafters’ bash hosted by Joan Rivers and Madewell‘s latest store opening, where Alexa Chung gave us the inside scoop on her latest collection for the brand. And in midtown, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kelly Ripa scored spots at the opening of the new Broadway play The Normal Heart. See more from last night’s hottest parties in the gallery!

Monique Lhuillier Named Two of Her New Wedding Gowns ‘Catherine’ and ‘Pippa’

Apr 28, 2011 @ 5:00 pm

Famed bridal designer Monique Lhuillier, who has dressed celebrity brides such as Reese Witherspoon, Carrie Underwood, Pink, and Alicia Silverstone, unveiled her newest bridal 2012 collection recently. Lhuillier named each of the gowns with a woman’s name, as she typically does, but we noticed something interesting this time around. Two of the looks in her new lineup have names with a royal ring to them—Catherine and Pippa! The “Catherine” gown, right, looks fit for a princess with long sleeves, a high neckline, and an all-over lace approach. The “Pippa” dress, left, looks like it could be for a bridesmaid or maid of honor (and Pippa Middleton is the maid of honor at sister Catherine’s nuptials) with a short hemline and a more body-hugging silhouette. Could this be just the start of royal inspiration for bridal? Take a closer look at the two royally-named gowns in the gallery.

We caught up with the show’s costume designer Soyon An for the inside scoop. “This dress was free and floaty, sparkly and cool,” An said of Reinhart’s fluttery Haute Hippie number (right). As for Lauren, the stylist settled on an asymmetrical Allen Schwartz dress (left). “It’s trendy, fun and girly,” An said of the look, which also included Wet Seal earrings and vintage boots.  Click through for more details about their outfits!

Kristin Cavallari’s Engagement Ring

Apr 28, 2011 @ 3:00 pm

Days after announcing her engagement to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, Kristin Cavallari gave the public the first glimpse of her engagement ring! The Hills alum showed off the sparkler, a square-cut diamond in a four-prong setting atop a channel-set diamond band, in Los Angeles yesterday. Cutler, 27, proposed to Cavallari, 24, during a vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. They had been dating since last fall.
