Princess Diana and Kate Middleton at Wedding Rehearsals

last updated 14 August 2019

What are your weekend plans? If you're counting down the days until a certain wedding, you're not alone. With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials mere days away, it's safe to say we have royal weddings on the brain, so we decided to revisit what Princess Diana and Kate Middleton wore in their last appearances before their big days.

Photographed at her rehearsal at St. Paul's Cathedral just two days before her wedding, Princess Diana looked like the epitome of sophistication in a blue printed midi dress and nude flats. The day before her 2011 wedding, Kate Middleton also went with a patterned dress for her rehearsals at the church, choosing a knee-length black-and-white number. Now only one question remains: What will Markle wear? Scroll down to revisit these throwback royal looks and shop similar frocks.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
