Royal Engagment Photos

photo via
This is, of course, the official royal engagement photo taken by FASHION photographer Mario Testino. I think it's lovely and there has been a lot of buzz about how similar it is to Charles & Diana's engagement photo. Um, really people? If we are going to go there, then the photo is similar to the engagement photos of about one million couples around the world. This is what couples do in an engagement photo. They embrace! So, let's get to what's really important here. What is Kate wearing? The cream silk dress is from High Street retailer Reiss. The dress, called the "Nanette", sold out within hours of the photos being released. Reiss had more made and sent them to retailers in the United States, Hong Kong and the Middle East. They claim they will limit production of the dress, as not to "exploit the situation". Back to the photo - love everything about it - the colors of the room, the ancestral portraits in the background, the romantic blur. Gorgeous.
