Kate Middleton Picks Wedding Dress Designer Bruce Oldfield?

Mario Testino

Something Oldfield? Something new?

Kate Middleton has chosen Brit favorite Bruce Oldfield to design her wedding dress, according to a report in People joining the dots between an anonymous royal source and a recent sighting of her family visiting the designer's showroom.

The source says that, per Middleton's wishes, there will be no announcement on the subject until the royal wedding day of April 29. Oldfield was a beloved courtier to the late Princess Diana and designer of Queen Rania of Jordan's wedding dress.

"It's Ms. Middleton's intention to keep her dress a secret for her bridegroom on her wedding day as is a bride's prerogative," says the unidentified palace official quoted by the mag.

Britain's New of the World spotted Middleton's mother, Carole, and sister, Pippa, entering Oldfield's showroom in the tony Knightsbridge section of London last week after lunching at a nearby swanky restaurant.

While the caught-on-camera visit is completely intriguing, it doesn't rule out another plausible explanation: A posh mother-of-the bride dress or attendant's frock, perhaps.

Remember when Chelsea and Hilary Clinton paid a call to Oscar de lat Renta's New York City atelier last summer fueling speculation that Chelsea was wearing de La Renta -- instead of her ultimate choice, Vera Wang -- for her July 31, 2010 wedding. It was the Secretary of State who showed up in a mother-of-the-bride look by the Dominican designer.

Some royal watchers are continuing to speculate that Middleton will use her growing royal fashion clout to catapult a lesser-known British designer into fashion stardom with her coveted commission. The impact could be similar to the sensation she caused with her Issa engagement dress, recent Libélula wedding-guest jacket, or the off-the-rack Reiss and Whistles clothes she wore for her official Mario Testino engagement portrait.

As for Oldfield, he's not talking after issuing a statement in December that said; "Kate has such a gorgeous figure that she would look stunning anything."

Speaking of the princess-to-be causing a fashion sensation, read about the sheer dress she wore when she first met Prince William that is now a valuable piece of royal history.

Golden Globes 2011 Winners & Dresses: Fashion Recap

Golden Globes 2011 Winners & Dresses: Fashion Recap
Natalie Portman (Getty), Helena Bonham Carter (AP) and Scarlett Johansson (Getty) at the Golden Globes

Christmas came late to the carpet of the 2011 Golden Globes, with trends for green and red dresses that made us wonder whether some of the actresses thought they were lining up on the carpet for an audience with Santa.

And what a bad Santa he turned out to be!

Host Ricky Gervais' barbed remarks seem set to be the main water-cooler topic in the aftermath of the ceremony (full recap of all the Moviefone Golden Globes moments here), since the awards themselves were handed out without any major upsets (check here for a full list of Golden Globes winners.)

Some people thought the biggest upset of the night was Helena Bonham Carter's Vivienne Westwood number with mis-matched shoes.

Also controversial was the Viktor & Rolf dress worn by Natalie Portman, who won for the Best Actress in a Motion Picture Drama. Not only did the blood-red rose on the gown seem to reference (spoiler alert!) her "Black Swan" dancer's unique ability to perform a ballet with a dagger-sized shard of glass stuck in her body, she also seemed to embrace the Odette/Odile dichotomy of the character while referencing her sex life with co-star and real-life baby daddy, Benjamin Millepied, in her acceptance speech.

The official description of Portman's dress, as supplied by the press agent, is a "couture strapless, multi-layered column gown in dust-pink silk satin adorned with a hand-embroidered Swarovski crystal red rose." In fact, Swarovski bedazzled everything in sight at this year's Globes, including the stage, which sported 30,000 individual crystals flown in from Austria.

The other fashion stories of the evening were buff dresses and pregnant actresses -- thankfully, Demi Moore stayed home last night, lest she be tempted to combine the two trends like she did on that Vanity Fair cover. (Although Gervais got off his best zinger of the evening at her family's expense, when he introduced her ex-husband Bruce Willis as current husband "Ashton Kutcher's dad.")

Scarlett Johansson opened the show fresh from a hair appointment with whatever salon worked on the Bride of Frankenstein. Maybe she was trying to send a message about Ryan Reynolds -- the soon-to-be-ex-"groom" to her "bride" -- to Sandra Bullock, who has recently been keeping company with the actor. Sandra herself had the other funky hair look of the night, a severe style with bangs that evoked Cleopatra had she been a member of the Manson family. You would definitely not want to have been caught between those women backstage!

Ivanka Trump Debuts Her New Under $200 Shoe Collection–And We Must Be Psychic

Last February, I speculated about Ivanka Trump’s upcoming shoe line, offering the mogul 5 suggestions for the designs. Well guess what? The shoes are out–and I was VERY close. Some of them are nearly identical–I said there’d be salmon pink, champagne, jewels, gold and lace. While they won’t get you any closer to inheriting her fortune, if you’re going to model yourself after anyone, Ivanka Trump is the girl: she’s pretty, smart, powerful and rich–a killer combo. Now for the shoes:

http://www.shefinds.com/files/2011/01/Ivanka-Trump-Bulbi-Pumps.jpg

First up, the shoes Ivanka makes a serious case for in the above photo. While red pumps ($124.95) are not my usual style, Ivanka makes me want a pair like whoa.

la http://www.shefinds.com/files/2011/01/Ivanka-Trump-Doublet-Sandals.jpg

This super sparkly minimalist pair is perfect for black tie parties or weddings. They look like Jimmy Choos for a fraction of the price ($139.95).

la http://www.shefinds.com/files/2011/01/Ivanka-Trump-Dimund-Pumps.jpg

Super pretty and elegant, no one will ever  know you paid less than $400 for them. Get these sandals for $149.95...and by the way, I so called this style in my post last year. Ivanka, are you reading?

la http://www.shefinds.com/files/2011/01/Ivanka-Trump-Indico-Pumps.jpg

Ivanka is so on the money here--not only are nude shoes a  huge trend (and make your legs look longer) but so are kitten heels. Voila--the absolute perfect pumps for work, at just $119.95.

la http://www.shefinds.com/files/2011/01/Ivanka-Trump-Black-Satin-Sandals.jpg

If anyone knows jewels, it's this girl. Not only she grow up in a gilded palace...she also has her own jewelry line. This black satin pair reflects her know-how ($159.99).

la http://www.shefinds.com/files/2011/01/Ivanka-Trump-Citrinia-Sandals.jpg

Could this strappy salmon-colored pair ($99.95) be a nod to husband Jared Kushner, and his salmon-colored livelihood, the New York Observer, perhaps?
