Let’s start off with none other than the Duchess of Cambridge herself: Kate Middleton. Her wedding dress was absolutely iconic!
The designer added some extra padding around the hips, below the mid-section. This was done in order to accentuate the bodice’s tiny waist and give it a Victorian feel. In fact, this little detail has become Alexander McQueen’s signature with his designs back in the 1990s.
