| 1. It was by Oscar de la Renta | 1. It was by Oscar de la Renta |
| “I don’t really know how to do casual clothes,” the Dominican-born, New York-based designer Oscar de la Renta has said – and he wasn’t kidding. His dresses are all about ruffles, prettiness and femininity – a timeless red-carpet celebrity staple beloved by the glossy Park Avenue set. A cream version of this kind of thing, from spring 2012, would suit the occasion very nicely. | “I don’t really know how to do casual clothes,” the Dominican-born, New York-based designer Oscar de la Renta has said – and he wasn’t kidding.

| Today, for the civil service, Alamuddin wore a sleek cream Stella MCartney trouser suit. For her first post-marriage outing, she wore couture Giambattista Valli. Being embellished cream lace, and worth tens of thousands of pounds, this is the sort of dress that could threaten to overshadow the main gown – unless that frock was gob-macking, too. A gargantuan cream creation seems likely. | Today, for the civil service, Alamuddin wore a sleek cream Stella MCartney trouser suit.

| Reports that Vogue has exclusive pictures of the dress are apparently false – like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, the Clooney-Alamuddin wedding pictures have been sold to People magazine to raise money for charity.

| Just a few innocent months ago, Alamuddin was papped on her way to work wearing mismatching shoes. That sort of thing looks unlikely to happen again, sadly, if her wedding week wardrobe is a sign of things to come. Designers in her suitcase include Alexander McQueen (a red silk gown from the Resort 2011 collection), Dolce & Gabbana and – according to fashion trade newspaper WWD – travel clothes by Stella McCartney. | Just a few innocent months ago, Alamuddin was papped on her way to work wearing mismatching shoes.
