it was too simple for the occasion
Who are you, and what have you done with bon?
I like her dress, and that's new. Even at the time, I didn't like Diana's dress, and I was completely wish-fulfillment wedding dress-oriented at that age.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
I think Kate's dress is going to look timeless in photos forever, pretty much. Whereas Diana's dress, viewed now, is sort of horrifically poufy and princess-wannabe.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Meanwhile in Japan - Super fat kitty trying to lose weight per doctors orders
A very strange video - kitty is working out on some sort of underwater treadmill.
Neatorama sez:
A fat cat in Japan complies with doctor’s orders by starting an exercise routine. I don’t know if it’s the cat’s facial expression, his considerable size, or the appropriate music, but I could not stop watching this video.

I think she looks great. Even though that sort of thing doesn't appeal that much.

Let me be contrary about kate's dress and say it was too simple for the occasion.
I kind of agree. I don't think it was too simple for the occasion, but I think I was expecting something more modern and elaborate from the house of McQueen. It didn't have to be meringue, but I was expecting something a little fashion forward. This seemed like a dress I've seen a million variations of.
ETA: I did not like Diana's dress at the time. And I remember it being very wrinkled when she got out of the carriage.

That poor kitty. It's paying for it's owners stupidity.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But beautiful!
The fashion person I heard on the TV was not psyched about the dress, either, though.

Definitely not fashion forward, but a great callback to Princess Grace's dress and, if it brings backs sleeves, I will be thrilled to pieces!
Loved Pippa's dress as well. They both looked stunning.

The real question is why Chelsy Davy looked so busted. I mean, her family's rich, right? She should know by now how to dress for a fancy royal Do. [link]

That cat looks not nearly as miserable as I would expect at being held half in the water like that.
I completely forgot about the wedding, but the pictures linked here were really enough for me. I imagine there was a lot of compromising on the dress, between what Kate wanted to wear, what Buckingham Palace wanted, and what the designer wanted to show off. The end result is pretty, which is all the opinion I really have.
