For the ceremony, Kate wore a long-sleeved, blush-pink gown by Elie Saab, Vogue reports, and she styled her hair in loose curls. She made an outfit change for the reception, opting for a long-sleeved, sparkly Jenny Packham dress paired with Greville Chandelier earrings that belonged to the late Queen Elizabeth II and the Lover's Knot tiara famously worn by the late Princess Diana, Page Six reports. Meanwhile, William paired a navy suit with a light-blue tie.
Beatrice wore a blue sparkly dress for the ceremony and changed into a pink gown by Reem Acra for the reception and accessorized with the same tiara that her mother, the Duchess of York, wore for her wedding to Prince Andrew in 1986, Daily Mail reports.
