Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress

Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen created this dress, which featured hand-stitched lace with the national flowers of the country. "It was exactly the right dress to wear," InStyle fashion director Hal Rubenstein said. "Everybody had a crush on her at the time, but when you saw this, you just melted and fell in love. It was a home run, bases loaded with two outs in the bottom of the ninth.” The dress then went on display at Buckingham Palace and drew over 600,000 visitors.
