  • Paris Hilton took inspiration from the Hollywood star and Princess of Monaco in her recent wedding to Carter Reum with a custom Oscar de la Renta gown
  • Princess Sofia of Sweden’s dress looked like Kate Middleton’s Alexander McQueen piece, which featured handmade lace appliqué and a 2.7-metre-long train

In 1960, the queen’s sister Princess Margaret wed Antony Armstrong-Jones in a silk organza Norman Hartnell gown that had a similar shape. The long-sleeved gown also featured a V-neckline, which Brides magazine writes was risqué at the time.
