186 Reasons Why Prince William and Kate Middleton Make the Chicest Pair

If there's one couple we (always) keep close style tabs on, it's definitely Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

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.

    Cameron Diaz's Soft-Pink Jumpsuit — Get the More Wearable Version

    While Gwyneth Paltrow wore a white Tom Ford number at an Obama fundraiser in London, her gal pal Cameron Diaz opted for a soft-pink jumpsuit from designer Emilia Wickstead's Fall 2012 collection.

    While Gwyneth Paltrow wore a white Tom Ford number at an Obama fundraiser in London, her gal pal Cameron Diaz opted for a soft-pink jumpsuit from designer Emilia Wickstead's Fall 2012 collection. She styled her monochromatic getup with a matching pink belt, white platform sandals, a gold cuff, and a white cocktail ring. We absolutely adore Cameron's latest ensemble, but we also recognize that it's not that easily translatable if you're not going to, say, a fancy Obama party. That's why we set out to re-create the look in a more casual way via this J.Crew boatneck top ($33) and these pink trousers from Bloomingdale's ($99). You can also swap the pants for pink jeans for an even more laid-back vibe or get this Asos pink one-shoulder jumpsuit ($87) for something more dressy.

    What Victoria Beckham and Other Fashion Industry Guests (Plus Chelsy Davy) Are Wearing to the Royal Wedding

    >> Plenty of talk has been made of Kate Middleton's wedding dress, but what about her wedding guests?

    >> Plenty of talk has been made of Kate Middleton's wedding dress, but what about her wedding guests? Victoria Beckham is said to be wearing one of her own designs — from the Fall 2011 Victoria Beckham collection — paired with custom Christian Louboutin shoes and a Philip Treacy hat.

    Alexandra Shulman has gone with Christopher Kane for the big day (who Samantha Cameron is also rumored to have chosen), while Anya Hindmarch picked a "classic and chic" Emilia Wickstead look. Harper's Bazaar's Sara Parker Bowles will wear Osman, while her mother-in-law Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, will be dressed by Anna Valentine, the designer who created her wedding dress when she married Prince Charles in 2005. And former Armani muse Lady Helen Taylor is wearing Erdem.

    Prince Harry's on-and-off girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, has chosen two custom looks by Alberta Ferretti: For the ceremony, she went with an aqua green, bias reverse satin dress teamed with a matching faille silk jacket and for the reception party, she'll change into a one shoulder, midnight blue, crepe satin gown with cut-out back detailing, as shown in the sketch above.

     

    "It has been very exciting and interesting working close to a girl invited to such a momentous event," Alberta Ferretti told Vogue UK of the dresses. "Chelsy is a contemporary girl, very determined but also charming and very feminine. Until the very last fitting she was undecided between two different daywear options for the ceremony, so there might be a last minute surprise!"

    And finally, Alice Temperley is rumored to be dressing both the mother of the bride and her sister, the maid of honor Pippa Middleton. Temperley is still considered a frontrunner for the bridal gown, but her PR team says she is out of the country on a two-week holiday. As the Telegraph UK wonders: "Is this a double bluff? Is she really holed up at Buckingham Palace with a team of seamstresses?"
