In brief
Fashion expert reveals which famous mums got the wedding dress right or wrong. Fashion expert Caroline Baxter rates Annabel Croft's perfect wedding dress versus Hillary Clinton's over-the-top choice for her daughter's wedding. Originally reported by Dailymail.
Annabel Croft
Annabel Croft, 60, picked a copper Zimmermann gown for her daughter Lily Coleman's London wedding to Felix McCorquodale.
“I have a romantic, feminine look, so that’s what I wanted to go for. I love floaty fabrics. Surely whatever the occasion, you want something that suits your character?”
Carole Middleton
Carole Middleton wore ice-blue and blush pink ensembles for her daughters' weddings, with a timeless style.
“The hemline sits neatly at the knee, complemented by nude hosiery.”
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham designed a liquid silver metallic gown for her son Brooklyn's wedding to Nicola Peltz.
“Developed using the finest metallic yarn from my favourite mill in como, italy.”
Kate Robbins
Kate Robbins chose a cape dress for her daughter Emily Atack's wedding in Spain.
“Kate looks fantastic in berry tones, which bring warmth to her complexion and complement her hair beautifully.”
Tana Ramsay
Tana Ramsay picked an emerald green strapless gown from Victoria Beckham for her wedding to Adam Peaty.
“The colour felt a little dull against tana's complexion.”
Hillary Clinton
Hillary Clinton wore a $15,000 Oscar de la Renta gown for her daughter Chelsea's 2010 wedding.
“The combination of frills, ruffles and curls feels overworked, when a sleeker, more polished approach would be far more flattering and in keeping with her style.”
Doria Ragland
Doria Ragland wore a mint-green shift dress with white floral embroidery for Meghan Markle's wedding.
“Meghan was adamant about having an american fashion house represented at the wedding since she's american.”
Princess Anne
Princess Anne wore a butter yellow hat and floral dress for her son Peter Phillips' wedding.
“Princess anne gets it absolutely right. Her deep understanding of fashion, coupled with her long-standing commitment to re-wearing clothes she has owned for decades, means she knows exactly what works for her.”

Annabel Croft's dress was the perfect choice for the early autumn wedding.
