The Duchess of Cambridge is a very big fan of lace it showed back when she married in 2011 and last year, during the Diamond Jubilee and her tour of Asia. Catherine turns to different designers when it comes to lace. Above, there are the names fo the designers that Catherine wore in the past two years.

Other royals also have a love of lace, Crown Princess Mary has worn more than two lace dresses. Last year she wore two dazzling numbers! The Hereditary Grand Duchess wore a lace dress (I think) for her wedding. Princess Letizia wore a lace dress last year and a evening gown with a lace top a while back.

Royals Love: Belts

I've noticed looking through royal maternity wear, that many royal women love belts. So, here are some Crown Princesses wearing belts (note, there's not a lot of pictures):

 Everyone knows that Catherine loves her belts! Last year, she wore 27 belts on 88 engagements (there could be more though). There's only 88 that I know of. Her belts are fashionable though, she must have a least 100 different belts... I want to see them all.

 Letizia doesn't usually wear belts as often as most princesses or royals. She wears them ocassionally, and when she does wear them. Man! They look good on her!

Mary is a royal who usually wears belts but sometimes doesn't. Her belts are nice, I like them, I swear I have that belt in the middle... Awesome! I don't really have a lot to say...

Maxima is known to wear tiny belts, normally around the size of an inch or two, or something like that.

Victoria hardly wears belts, that's why when I came across Victoria, I had to look on Google. Her belts are nice looking though. Then again, how can a belt not be ugly?

Royals Love: Elie Saab

Elie Saab is an incredible fashion brand, created by a Lebanese designer. It's praised by many people around the world (including me) for the embroidery, designs, and cut of the dresses. Elie is an impedible designer, and his work is loved by many royals:

On October 20th of 2012, Elie created the wedding dress of Stephanie, Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg (formerly, Countess Stephanie de Lannoy). The wedding guests wore a lot of amounts of Elie Saab (probably due to the fact that the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg is a big fan).

Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden is a very big Elie Saab fan, she wore a dress by Elie (above) to her pre-wedding concert on June 18, 2010. Victoria wore Elie Saab to other important events, the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the wedding of the Prince and Princess of Monaco, the Nobel Prize Awards last year and in 2010, her daugther's christening in May of last year.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg is a big fan, like Victoria. She's worn Saab at the wedding of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the wedding of her son, Guillaume (above, Civic service), a visit to Germany, and to the Nobel Prize awards in 2011 (same dress, different occasion).

After the royal wedding in Luxembourg, the Royal Order of Sartorial Splendor showed different royals who wore Elie Saab and it looks awesome!
