With it's high neckline, corseted waist, and billowing skirt Lady Kitty's dress has a clear nod to Grace Kelly, the American Hollywood star who became royalty when she married Prince Rainer of Monaco III in 1956. But Kitty is far from the first bride to be inspired by Grace, with many royals sporting similar gowns over the seven decades since. Like Kate and Grace, Margaret also opted for a tiara with her dress - which featured a corseted waist, long sleeves and billowing skirt. The Danish-born royal's dress clearly draws on Grace Kelly's with the same high neck, lace sleeves and puffed skirt. Kitty's main gown, with an intricate floral lace design, a high neck, long sleeves and puffed shoulders, was an echo of her mother's own wedding dress.
