Kate Middleton Did Do Her Own Wedding Makeup

I have to be honest, I had no interest in following this Royal wedding....until I saw a clip of how stunning Kate Middleton looked in her gown.  A vintage-inspired v-neck ivory gown by Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton featured long, lace sleeves and a sweetheart style bodice. The bodice, skirt and underskirt were constructed out of French Chantilly and English Cluny lace while the skirt was a luxe ivory and white satin gazer.

She wore a Cartier tiara, loaned to her by the Queen. And Middleton's parents bought her matching Robinson Pelham earrings.

So, just who is this Sarah Burton?  The 36-year-old Brit was mentored by the late designer McQueen for 14 years. When McQueen died in 2010, Burton transitioned from assistant to creative director of his company, debuting her first collection as head designer during the Spring 2011 shows in Paris.
