British Prime Minister David Cameron’s wife Samantha stood out amongst the guests at the royal wedding in Westminster Abbey as she was among the few women at the ceremony without any headwear.
Cameron, wearing a teal fitted dress with a orange shawl and a huge necklace, just wore a small decoration in her hair.
In contrast, deputy prime minister Nick Clegg’s wife Miriam Gonzalez Durantez wore a distinctive Spanish style fascinator in coral with a black headband.
Most male guests wore the traditional long coat-tails to the wedding and London mayor Boris Johnson, with neatly combed hair for a change, wore a formal morning suit.
The British wedding chic is defined by hats and the female guests at the wedding were wearing a range of hats ranging from large hats to more artistic fascinators.
Princess Beatrice, daughter of the Duke of York, wore a bow detail headpiece and her sister Eugenie wore a feather and dark purple flower embellished blue hat. Princess Anne’s daughter Zara Philips, who is soon getting married, wore an oversized black hat with a large black flower at one side.
Her mother Princess Anne, wore a green and purple jacket, along with a lilac net hat with a flower on the top.
Socialite Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, a friend of Prince Charles who was more in news before the wedding for her nose job, wore a bright royal blue teardrop-shaped pillbox hat by British designer Stephen Jones.
Foreign secretary William Hague’s wife Ffion, who broke her shin recently, came to the wedding in a wheelchair.
