Best and worst dressed mothers of the bride

Fashion expert reveals which famous mums got the wedding dress right or wrong.

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.”

Verdict

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

Verdict

Carole Middleton's style is timeless and polished.

Verdict

Victoria Beckham's gown was unconventional but missing structure.

Verdict

Kate Robbins' cape dress was modern and chic.

Verdict

Tana Ramsay's emerald gown was too dark for a daytime wedding.

Verdict

Hillary Clinton's gown felt slightly over-the-top for the ceremony.

Verdict

Doria Ragland's mint-green dress was a beautifully judged ensemble.

Verdict

Princess Anne's look was a royal success.
