We pulled out the most crucial style tips from Gwyneth and Elizabeth just for you.
If there's one couple we (always) keep close style tabs on, it's definitely Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. On Monday, the royal pair celebrated their second wedding anniversary, and while it feels like yesterday that we were floored by her custom Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding dress, their second year as husband and wife has been filled with superchic — not to mention, monumental — moments for both. While Kate has become a master of high-low styling, favoring everything from Topshop and Whistles to Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen, William is just as good at donning a cool mix of dapper suits and more casual fare. Lest we forget, the couple is expecting their first child in July, which means we're on baby bump watch, too! To fete William and Kate's wedding anniversary, we've rounded up their best fashion moments in the two years since tying the knot. Here are more than 150 photos to commemorate.

When the focal point of a beauty look is a giant cage mask, as it was on Alexander McQueen's Fall 2013 runway, you'd think that there wasn't much you could do with hair and makeup — but not at Alexander McQueen. Models at the show were done up in such a way that they resembled monarchs of the Elizabethan era. Ash-gray pin curls and matte pink lips stood out behind embellished cages. God save McQueen!
The look: Pin curls, flawless skin, matte pink lips.
Trends: Natural makeup.
Who would wear it: Queen Elizabeth I.
If you're only going to send 10 looks down the runway, as Sarah Burton did for Alexander McQueen's Fall 2013 show, those looks had better be something spectacular.
Sarah Burton said it all in just 10 exquisite looks for Alexander McQueen's Fall 2013. Ten breathtaking and bold nods to Elizabethan-era drama that we'll wait anxiously to see on the red carpet. This is not the stuff of Kate Middleton's wardrobe — the slim-cut pencil skirts and peplum-trimmed military jackets — it's a tour de force of the most intricate and beautifully crafted kind. White dresses were covered in pearls and decked in frothy white feathered sleeves and collars. Black high-collared, corseted confections, finished with caged legwear and delicate face masks were so awe-inspiring you hardly even noticed Karlie Kloss underneath all the detail. There was complexity in every look, and not just in the measure of materials (organza, lace, feathers, studding, netting, leather). It was all at once ethereal, powerful, regal, and incredibly beautiful. Burton makes crafting something otherworldly entirely possible; the bigger task is finding a real-life event worthy of wearing her work.
Salma Hayek delivered sexy in a less overt package via her high-neck Alexander McQueen number. It all started with a beautiful gold-embellished collar and ended with plush midnight blue velvet that hugged her curves. In the accessories realm, Salma carried a gold McQueen skull box clutch and wore a gold crown in her hair. Are you into Salma's ensemble?

Amanda Seyfried stood tall in an Alexander McQueen creation that was made just for her for the 2013 Oscars. The gown featured a dramatic high neck and a keyhole cutout that provided a sliver of sexiness. The stunning embellished detailing and subtle sheer skirt supplied a double dose of intrigue. Seyfried kept her baubles to a minimum, sticking to a pair of dainty earrings and one ring. How did she do tonight?

Rooney Mara and her costar Jude Law are currently touring the globe promoting their movie Side Effects, and for the latest premiere in Berlin, the actress chose a beautiful black Valentino Couture dress with a square neckline and asymmetrical hem. Upon her arrival, the actress covered up in an equally sleek black and white coat. So far, Rooney's promotion ensembles have been dark and moody, with mainly black pieces, but she did show off her lighter side in a white Alexander McQueen dress at the NYC premiere.
