While Meghan Markle’s Givenchy wedding dress is the main fashion fascination of the Royal Wedding so far, she wasn’t the only one who stepped out in style on her big day.
Her sister-in-law, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was dressed for the occasion, sporting a primrose yellow wool silk tailored dress and coat by Alexander McQueen that was perfect for the festivities and that she had previously worn to both Queen Elizabeth II’s birthday and Charlotte’s christening, proving that some style statements should definitely be repeated.

INSIDE THE APPLE-MICROSOFT DEAL
“Apple was a pioneer company, but if it is to survive, it must reinvent itself to suit a computer culture that has moved on to other things.” CHRIS RANSFORD Woking, England

Ann Coulter and I were well into a bottle of white Bordeaux–and I believe she was chewing her fourth piece of Nicorette–when it happened. From what little I knew of her–mainly her propensity for declamations such as “liberals love America like O.J. loved Nicole”–I thought it impossible for Coulter to blush. Many of her fans would later tell me it was her fearlessness they admired, her fully unburdened sense of outrage against liberalism, against anyone left of Joseph McCarthy (whom Coulter flattered in her best-selling book Treason: Liberal Treachery from the Cold War to the War on Terrorism).

If you chose the women and girls in your life, you are right only for the last question–and even then, not by the margin you might expect.
