Seeing how the English roses Kate Middleton and Kate Winslet are the celebrities usually seen donning <b>Jenny Packham</b>'s feminine gowns, you really wouldn't imagine the label to appeal to the tattoed set. But this sequined pink (pink!) gown absolutely works. Their wedding seems far from an elaborate spectacle, which goes to show that nonchalant God-given style trumps overthinking an event. Oh let us live, love & laugh on the day as confidently and as heartily as this cool Australian couple!</div>

Also, does anyone actually believe they can don such a famous gown and look better than than original wearer? Perhaps few do since only the tiniest size has sold out as of 11pm (Singapore time) - many a gown has sold out faster on NAP's site. <br />

If you're handy with a needle, you could try fashioning these with spare felt & sequins - which might well be the only option available to me since all my initials are already sold out! <br />

Nothing particularly related to fashion, just putting it on record that I am officially freaked out by how much the pooch resembles a doll. How about the Gossip Girl writers work it into the show so <a href="http://www.tvfanatic.com/videos/gossip-girl-clip-dan-chuck-and-monkey/">Monkey</a> has a canine companion? It'd be like <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBGOMUSc3Mw">Lars and the Real Girl</a> - but with dogs. <br />
