A social networking site called BeautifulPeople.com polled over 127,000 people in order to rank the most beautiful royals (according to the New York Post the site generated images randomly, two at a time, allowing users to vote hot-or-not style). It’s no surprise that Princess Grace of Monaco came in at number one. It is surprising that princess-to-be Kate Middleton snagged the number three spot, one ahead of Princess Diana.

Lindsey Wixson Wore Jason Wu and a Matching Wrist Corsage to Prom
By Leah Chernikoff
Models are so done up and scowl-y in editorials and on the runway that it’s easy to forget that most of them are under 20. Model-of-the-moment Lindsey Wixson is just 17. So it’s nice to see the gorgeous Wichita, Kansas native looking like a “normal” 17-year-old girl dolled up for prom (“normal” is relative seeing as how most 17-year-olds don’t have Jason Wu custom-making their prom dresses, nor are they trailed by CNN).
This photo comes courtesy of Modelinia, but click through for more photos from CNN’s Alina Cho who attended prom with Wixson, and a close-up shot of Wixson’s clutch and corsage (that she tweet pic’ed herself).

We spotted prairie girl-inspired looks–think Peter Pan collars, voluminous maxi dresses, and Americana plaid prints–on the fall 2011 runways of Steven Alan, Y-3, Rodarte, Marc Jacobs, and Chris Benz.
Though fashion folk have been stocking up on these styles, it’s undeniable that the trend is pretty man-repelling. Recently, an outfit comprised of a sweater layered over a black maxi-skirt prompted one of our friends to dub us “Amish.”
Luckily, for those of us hoping to give the look an edge and some sex appeal, former Project Runway runner-up Daniel Vosovic imagined what would happen if the prairie girl moved to New York City. The result is his fall collection. We recently got an up close and personal look.

Even if She is Designing Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress, This Won’t Be Sophie Cranston’s ‘Jason Wu Moment’
I’m far from convinced that Libélula’s Sophie Cranston is the designer of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, but let’s speculate. Let’s say that Cranston has been afforded the opportunity to make the most talked about dress since Diana married Prince Charles.
Will this be Cranston’s “Jason Wu moment,” as HuffPo royal correspondent Yvonne York declared? Will fashionites the world over be clamoring to get a piece of Libélula post-April 29?
Hardly. And there are several reasons why.
