A wispy white veil covering her face, a smiling Kate Middleton stepped out of a black rolls royce in a long lace sleeved gown with a train at the Westminister Abbey here where she will marry Prince William on Friday.
Her wedding dress was kept under wraps until the very last moment, sparking speculation around the world over whether she would follow in the footsteps of her late mother-in-law, Diana, and wear an elaborate gown with frills.
But Kate, 29, stuck to her trademark fashion sense with a simpler cut, white gown that flared gently from the waist. The rounded train, smaller than Diana's 30 years ago, was held by a bridesmaid as she entered the church. She was wearing a tiara.
