Rank Catherine's wedding guest outifts!
I wasn’t sure if you wanted me to rank all her wedding guest outfits as a royal because if so I’m going to need a list (she’s attended many but I can’t remember them all off the top of my head). But here’s my ranking of her outfits at royal weddings as a member of the RF (including Pippa’s).
1. Hussein and Rajwa’s wedding (June 2023)
With a look this good, there is only one way to go from here: down. This is one of Kate’s colours, it’s Elie Saab, beautiful design, perfect tailoring with the perfect styling. This is an all-time favourite look so of course it would top the list.
The hair! Ugh! Sickening, I tell you. Sickening! Also there’s something I love about a bride and a guest wearing the same designer. Rajwa and Catherine (most likely unknowingly) both wore Elie Saab and the design house must have been beside themselves not only for creating the bride’s dress but being able to claim two of the best dressed people (with max coverage to boot) there! What a slay - I would have given everyone the next couple of days off!
The best part about it is that it looks like a dress a member of the Jordanian Royal Family could have selected for themselves and that’s on diplomatic dressing. Every time Catherine selects Elie Saab, an angel gains wings.
2. Eugenie and Jack’s wedding (October 2018)
I like that she didn’t go for the obvious orange or brown or green for an autumnal wedding. She chose a berry shade which is still seasonal but not necessarily on the nose. It’s truly a crime that this entire outfit has never made a comeback.
A little commotion for the hat. She looks like a very delicious, sophisticated berry.
A little commotion for the hair. It is truly a perfect outfit.
3. Peter and Harriet’s wedding (June 2026)
This just gives Senior Royal Princess Attends Wedding vibes. I think I audibly gasped when she stepped out of the car. There’s something quite mature but soft about it.
The hat was so beautiful. It’s kind of giving Mary Poppins if she was invited to sweet, countryside wedding. It’s the first time she’s worn this kind of hat to a wedding before which I thought it marked some difference in her wedding appearance attire although I don’t really know how to describe it.
I didn’t love the collar but everything else works so it’s not big enough of a problem to rate it further down. Everything flows as it should and nothing is out of place. It’s the most confident she’s looked in a while and it makes me happy that it’s coming after a particularly terrible season of her life. She’s getting back to herself - slowly but surely!
4. Pippa and James’s wedding (May 2017)
If you’re attending your baby sister’s posh village wedding as a very famous royal duchess (with your Prince husband, Prince son and Princess daughter in tow no less) but want to balance the scales between knowing that you cannot escape attention and coverage but also wanting your sister to shine as the bride and one-half of the reason the event was even happening - this is what you wear. Also, this was fully a big sign of where her style was headed. My only tiny gripe is I feel like the top part could have been better fitted.
The hair deserves recognition per usual. There’s something quite expensive but understated about her whole look.
The hat remains one of my favourites. Blush is truly one of her colours. I loved three generations of the CEs matching. Everything about this wedding felt very intentional and the outfits were no different.
5/6. Zara and Mike’s wedding (July 2011)
It’s okay, not really noteworthy. But I understood trying to keep a low profile as the newly married-in female member of the royal family. Her own wedding was only 3 months before this and she was on every newspaper, tabloid and magazine. Wearing something she had already publicly worn to someone else’s wedding was a good shout.
The real star is this hat - hence why it scores extra points. Catherine, for whatever reason, has a penchant for wearing really bold, slightly odd hats whenever she wears this coat. Yes, it has happened three separate times. Why? We will probably never know.
One more time for the real star doing some heavy lifting. She needs to bring it back with the quickness.
5/6. Harry and Meghan’s wedding (May 2018)
This is a completely fine outfit. There’s nothing noteworthy or special about it (especially in comparison to the rest) and I’m guessing that was precisely what she was going for. Kudos to her because I would have skipped it (especially in hindsight). Only a deep love for the couple combined with the absolute certainty that there wasn’t any other date available would have made me stuff my bra, put on some heels, dress up and play wrangler to bridesmaids and pageboys 26 days after expelling an 8 lbs 7 oz. baby from my vagina. This probably would have been number 5 but the Pringle hat (and the fact that she might have been happier and far more comfortable on that day) pushed it down.
She did look absolutely beautiful though! If I’m going to be completely honest, perhaps this look should be above the one before it since it’s objectively better but the day has really just been tainted by future events unfortunately. Let’s just say that it’s objectively No. 5 but subjectively No. 6.
Forever salty that we don’t know what she wore to James and Alizee’s wedding because it would 100% have been on this list!
