Take a Look at the Best (and Strangest) Royal Wedding Anniversary Memorabilia

Kate Middleton and Prince William‘s one year wedding anniversary is almost nigh, and of course the best way to celebrate the union of two individuals in holy matrimony is with an array of silly, useless products. Yay capitalism!

Whether it’s with auctioning off a slice of year-old wedding cake, or shilling commemorative mugs (that commemorate the wrong Prince unfortunately), there’s no shortage of ways that companies are cashing in on the royal duo’s wedding anniversary. And just think, we have dozens more anniversaries to come just like this…

So, without further ado, click through for a round up of the best and wackiest Royal Wedding Anniversary products out there.

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Matchy-Matchy Style Evolution

Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Matchy-Matchy Style Evolution

This weekend marks the one year anniversary of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Remember that one? Sarah Burton gown, lots of weird fascinators, maid of honor’s spectacular ass? Well, according to reports, the happy (not-yet-pregnant) couple reportedly will celebrate quietly, because unlike their respective siblings, these two don’t really party much. Maybe they’ll just rent a movie and lie around in matching bathrobes.

Which is something they would totally do, and we have the photographic evidence to prove it.

Is It Okay to Wear White to a Wedding Now (When You’re Not the Bride, Duh)? Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss and Kate Middleton All Seem To Think It Is

Is It Okay to Wear White to a Wedding Now (When You’re Not the Bride, Duh)? Kim Kardashian, Kate Moss and Kate Middleton All Seem To Think It Is

Wearing white to a wedding when you’re not that bride? It’s the cardinal wedding sin. Or it was.

Kate Middleton famously had her bridesmaids wear white–and we don’t have to tell you how well that went over, particularly for a certain, um, callipygian Maid of Honor.

Two months later the other Kate–Kate Moss, of course–also dressed her bridesmaids and flower girls (all 15 of them) in white. Guests Carine Roitfeld, Bella Freud, Naomi Campbell and Stella McCartney were also spotted wearing the shade at the wedding.

And now Kim Kardashian has jumped on the bandwagon, choosing white gowns that look remarkably like wedding dresses for her bridesmaids at recent nuptials. And while limited photos of Kim K‘s big wedding have been released, we already know that at least Lindsay Lohan wore white, and apparently the invite called for guests to wear black or white.

So what’s going on here?

Grazia Admits to Photoshopping Kate Middleton

Grazia Admits to Photoshopping Kate Middleton

It’s a sad day when women as slim as Kate Middleton get the photoshop treatment. Alas, this is the world we live in.

When Grazia‘s special edition wedding issue came out shortly after the big event, readers were convinced that the magazine had digitally whittled Kate‘s already-whittled waist. Indeed, The Duchess of Cambridge‘s waist (in the image at left) does look peternaturally tiny. After initially denying the rumors Grazia finally published an apology and explanation in their most recent issue, reports the Daily Mail.

Fashion News Roundup: Alber Elbaz Doesn’t Use the Internets, America’s Worst Dressed Cities, and a Cartoon Supermodel

Fashion News Roundup: Alber Elbaz Doesn’t Use the Internets, America’s Worst Dressed Cities, and a Cartoon Supermodel

America’s Worst Dressed: GQ rounded up the 40 worst dressed cities in America. They call the poll they used “deeply scientific.” Do you live in one of these cities? If so, you should probably move. {GQ}

Stenciled Dip Dye, Coming To A Salon Near You: Bleach is a Brit salon that specializes in zany hair color treatments, including bleaching, rainbow dip dying, and even stenciled words. They originated as a stand in London’s WAH nails but now have their own place in the Oxford Topshop and are making plans to come stateside. Looks like Lauren Conrad was ahead of the curve after all. {Pop}

The First Cartoon Supermodel: UK modeling agency Premier just signed Polly Bean, a character from the satirical comic strip Supermodels to its Special Division. The 20-year-old strip has earned fans like Phillip Treacy and the late Isabella Blow through Bean’s witty commentary on the industry. {Vogue UK}

Seat Changes At Vogue: Rickie De Sole has been promoted from accessories editor to Filipa Fino’s old position of senior accessories editor. Sole’s position will be filled by Leith Speer Barton, Anna Wintour’s executive assistant. So now the question is, who will be Nuclear Wintour’s new Anne Hathaway? {WWD}

Kate Middleton Has Inspired 52% More Brides to Wear a Veil and Other Fun Royal Wedding Facts

Think the only trend Kate Middleton started after the Royal Wedding was an uptick in long sleeved wedding gowns? Think again. According to research released by Brides magazine, 52% of American brides are more likely to wear a veil, and there’s been a 200% increase in inquiries for horse-and-carriage rentals. (Yeah, that’s right. Horse and carriage rentals.) There’s also been a 25% bump in sales of red aisle runners.

The List of Royal Wedding Attendees is Out, We Pick Their Outfits For the Big Day

It’s come to the point that Royal Wedding Mania might be a diagnosable disease. While I’ve been trying to remain aloof, day by day it becomes increasingly more difficult to avoid. I was finally sucked in today after the guest list was released, meaning I spent all day picking out outfits for the ten most fashionable attendees (outside the wedding party).

Amongst the Golden Ticket holders (it does feel a little like Willy Wonka doesn’t it?) are the Beckhams, Elton John, Mario Testino, and Joss Stone, naturally.

Click through to see what we hope the Royal Wedding attendees wear, and be warned, our picks are a little (OK, a lot) non-traditional for Westminster Abbey (bare shoulders! gasp!).

Why Jane Seymour Will Cover the Royal Wedding for ET Instead of Joan Collins

Why Jane Seymour Will Cover the Royal Wedding for ET Instead of Joan Collins

Every entertainment news show is lining up their royal wedding coverage. After all, Kate Middleton and Wills’ big day is just under a month and a half away now.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ET had initially looked at Joan Collins to be its correspondent for the big day (which would be awesome). Unfortunately, when OG diva Collins allegedly demanded a first-class ticket to London from LA, the show set their sights on someone else. Now Jane Seymour will cover the wedding for ET and Sharon Osbourne will be The Insider‘s lady on the scene (though we’d rather watch her daughter Kelly).

Both Seymour and Osbourne have released statement regarding their upcoming gigs:
