A Look Back at Prince William and Kate Middleton's Royal Wedding
14 years ago today, the Prince and Princess of Wales, Prince William and Kate Middleton, had their royal wedding at Westminster Abbey in London, marking one of the most highly anticipated royal weddings since then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana got married in 1981. The couple's wedding brought together much of the royal family, including Prince Harry, who served as his brother's best man, as well as Queen Elizabeth II, the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and many others. More from WWD Kate Middleton Suits Up in Holland Cooper on Wedding Anniversary With Prince William for Scotland Trip Kate Middleton and Prince William's 14 Most Iconic Matching Moments: A Celebration of Style and Love How Ukrainian President Zelensky Chose His Clothes for Pope Francis' Funeral Leading up to the event, much speculation surrounded which designer Middleton would tap for her gown. The honor ultimately went to Alexander McQueen designer Sarah Burton, who went on to dress the princess on numerous occasions over the last decade before departing McQueen for Givenchy in September 2024. Middleton's dress embodied the modest, ladylike style she's become known for during her time in the royal family. The Victorian-inspired dress was designed with an ivory lace bodice paired with a high lace collar and long lace sleeves. Her satin skirt featured a nine-foot train, which was carried by her sister Pippa Middleton, who equally made an impact at the wedding in a fitted ivory-hued dress also designed by Burton for Alexander McQueen. Lace was a crucial design component of Middleton's wedding gown. The dress featured lace that was handmade at London's Royal School of Needlework based at Hampton Court Palace and was appliquéd with individual flowers that were hand cut from the lace. The bodice and skirt were designed from hand-cut English lace and French Chantilly lace. Buckingham Palace released a statement on Middleton's dress after the royal wedding, stating the dress 'pays tribute to the arts and crafts tradition. Ms. Burton's design draws on this heritage, giving the cut and the intricate embellishment a distinctive contemporary and feminine character.' Burton also released a statement on the wedding dress: 'It has been the experience of a lifetime to work with Catherine Middleton to create her wedding dress, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. It was such an incredible honor to be asked, and I am so proud of what we and the Alexander McQueen team have created. I am delighted that the dress represents the best of British craftsmanship. Alexander McQueen's designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day.' Middleton paired the Alexander McQueen dress with Queen Elizabeth II's Cartier Halo Tiara, which the queen's father, King George VI, commissioned in 1936 for his wife shortly before he assumed the throne. The tiara is set with 739 brilliant and 149 baton diamonds, according to the Royal Collection Trust. The accessory follows the tradition of royal women borrowing from Queen Elizabeth II's extensive tiara collection for their royal weddings. The Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, wore the Queen Mary Bandeau Tiara at her royal wedding to Prince Harry in 2018 and the queen's granddaughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice wore the Greville Emerald Kokoshnik Tiara and Queen Mary's Fringe Tiara, respectively, at each of their weddings. After their ceremony at Westminster Abbey, Prince William and Middleton joined other members of the royal family on the balcony at Buckingham Palace where they shared a kiss as spectators cheered them on from below. Later in the day, the couple held the evening reception, where Middleton again looked to Burton to design her dress for that occasion. Burton's design was more modern than the first, featuring a sweetheart neckline, jeweled belt and satin skirt. Middleton paired the dress with a white cardigan. 14 years following their 2011 nuptials, Prince William and Kate Middleton spent their anniversary on the first leg of a two-day trip to Scotland. The couple opted for casual, suit-style outfits on the first day of their tour, with the Princess of Wales wearing a double-breasted blazer in brown, courtesy of Holland Cooper. Over the course of their 14-year marriage, Prince William and Kate welcomed three children — Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, who just celebrated his seventh birthday. The last few years of the couple's marriage have also seen health struggles and challenges. The Princess of Wales publicly disclosed her cancer diagnosis in March 2024. In September 2024, Kate Middleton revealed she completed her chemotherapy treatment. 2025 has seen the royal return to public duties at a steady pace.

Former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist Dave Navarro marries Vanessa DuBasso in gothic castle wedding in Scotland
Rock guitarist Dave Navarro married actress and fashion designer Vanessa DuBasso on March 29 at Scotland's Dunskey Estate. The couple, together for eight years, chose the Edwardian castle for its "moody, ethereal charm," according to DuBasso. The ceremony featured a gothic, darkly romantic atmosphere, with chandeliers hanging from trees and gold candelabra at the altar. DuBasso wore a Victorian-inspired white gown with black accents and angel wings, symbolising Navarro's nickname for her, "breathing cherub." Navarro donned an all-black ensemble from Generation Tux. Photo: People Guests, including comedian Pete Davidson, enjoyed a reception in the castle's dungeon, dining on pasta, filet mignon, seafood, and traditional Scottish desserts. The wedding cake, inspired by the Swedish princess cake, featured white icing with black cathedral patterns and roses. Post-wedding festivities included gun shooting, owl encounters, a barbecue in the woods, and a beach bonfire. The couple plans to honeymoon in Edinburgh, exploring historic castles and searching for holy relics, a lifelong fascination of Navarro's. Navarro and DuBasso met when Navarro saw a movie trailer featuring DuBasso and reached out through a mutual friend. DuBasso recalls being drawn to Navarro's "green chestnut eyes, tattoos, and dark comedic humour," describing it as love at first sight. The couple credits their relationship with personal growth and overcoming struggles, with DuBasso stating, "Dave saved me from myself." They look forward to settling in a nature-immersed home, away from the chaotic world, to create their "little life."

Walmart is selling vintage-style heart cakes, sparking backlash from local bakers
What could possibly be controversial about a heart-shaped cake? A debate has been raging on TikTok over Walmart's vintage-style heart-shaped cakes, the retailer's take on the photogenic, Victorian-inspired piped pastries, which have long been popular on social media. Although some of these ornately decorated desserts have been sold at Walmart for years, they recently went viral on TikTok around Valentine's Day due to their affordable prices: from $7 to $25, by many of these videos' estimations. Many comments under these videos have been comparing these Walmart cakes to custom ones they're purchased from private bakeries for $120 and $250. Some local bakers have voiced concern over this steep price difference. 'guys as an at home baker, the ingredients alone in California cost about $45 for one cake, i use clean ingredients and the process takes me about 6 hours for one cake if all goes well,' commented one person under a video showing a $24.98 Walmart cake, adding that they would charge at least $144 for their version. And a now-deleted video by TikToker @birdysbakery, in which the baker decries the availability of the low-cost option while decorating a heart-shaped cake, sent TikTok into a total tailspin. 'What is actually grinding my gears here are the people in the comments under videos advertising the cake, complaining about what home bakers are charging for vintage heart cakes,' the TikToker says. 'I just find that highly disrespectful to everybody who put so much time and effort into their cakes, especially when having a birthday cake is a luxury, it is not a need,' they add. The video also claimed that Walmart's ingredients are of lesser quality, the cakes were 'shipped to them from some warehouse' and its workers won't provide the same attention to detail that smaller bakeries would. The baker also claimed that Walmart bakers at the store are 'probably underpaying their employees.' Walmart did not immediately respond to request for comment. According to the company's career page, the hourly rate for a cake decorator is between $17 to $24, but 'will equal or exceed the required minimum wage applicable to the job location.' This baker's opinions really rubbed people the wrong way, and inspired measured responses, fierce debate and satirical recreations of the video. 'A BIRTHDAY CAKE IS A LUXURY?' one person commented on a repost of the deleted video. 'As a baker who charges $2,000 for a tiny cake that feeds one and a half people, those cheap Walmart cakes absolutely disgust me,' creator Sarah Klait says in her satirical video with millions of views. 'The fact that poor people even have the option to purchase a vintage heart cake for less than $30 is beyond mind blowing and disturbing, because if you can't afford expensive desserts, you definitely don't deserve to eat them,' she continues. 'Who wakes up and says 'I want a cake made by a Walmart employee?'' Caleb Demeny jokes in his viral video. 'Why would you do that versus buy the cake from me at seven-and-a-half times the cost? Make it make sense.' Demeny, whose video has over 5 million views, thinks the Walmart bakery is 'heavily underrated.' 'All of their desserts and bread products have been delicious for years,' he tells 'They're just now starting to get the attraction they deserve. Mostly thanks to TikTok and its algorithm.' And now, perhaps owing to the algorithm, many of Walmart's cake decorators are getting a lot more attention on TikTok. One of these videos, in which a decorator makes a custom black heart cake in her Walmart uniform, has garnered over 2 million views. TikToker Nia Moss has worked in the bakery section of a North Carolina-area Walmart for six years. Moss has been posting her heart cakes on TikTok since 2020 and has garnered modest views — that is, until this debate popped off on the platform. 'Decorate yet another heart shaped cake with me (Walmart version),' reads the caption on one of Moss' videos. In it, she skillfully decorates a custom lavender and white heart-shaped cake with elaborate piped edging. That video has amassed nearly 8 million views, but other videos of hers are now racking up millions of views, too. 'I didn't know what was going on,' Moss tells adding that she knew nothing about the online debate until her video started getting traction. 'People were commenting. 'So this is the cake that they're mad at?' and I'm like, 'What? What cake?'' But now that she's caught up on what's been going on, she has thoughts. 'I think it's pretentious to assume that because we're grocery store decorators, that we don't make good money,' Moss says. 'I've actually applied to other bakeries and they want to pay me like $10 less than what Walmart offers.' Moss has also received an influx of compliments on her skills — and she says she really appreciates the love. 'It's nice that people are finally seeing how much work we actually put into our cake, because I feel like Walmart cake decorators have had such a bad reputation,' Moss says. 'It's nice that we're finally getting recognition for our work.' This article was originally published on
