The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

To all the little girls that were ever told the Cinderella story wasn't true, well this wedding definitely proves that Cinderella does exist and its Kate Middleton! The ONLY difference is this Cinderella was already a millionaire. From the white horses, to the red carriage, our Cinderella definitely had a beautiful royal wedding with people cheering and waving flags at the sight of her. Posh Culture watched the wedding live from our living room as we "awwwwed" and "aaaaaaahed" at this remarkable event. Now, because we are a fashion blog, we cant help but talk about the fashion that got us going CRAZY!!! The star designers of this event were Alexander McQueen for the Duchess's wedding dress and Phillip Treacy for the numerous hats worn by the guests.

The Wedding Dress

Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen did an incredible job with the dress, it was definitely fit for a princess. The beautiful french lace, the v-neck line that wasn't too revealing and the satin embodied with more lace at the bottom. This dress was phenomenal!

The Hats

Posh Culture couldn't get enough of the hats worn by the guests to the wedding and Phillip Treacy was the designer of most of these hats. He gets an A+ for creativity and diversity because no two hats looked the same and we sat at the edge of our seats every time we saw a Philip hat coming through!

By the way the Cathedral was absolutely beautiful!!

This event was the wedding of the decade and tells us that every girl can definitely have a Cinderella story with her prince on her side!! Sigh

Posh Model Spotlight: Chanel Iman

With a name of two big fashion icons put together, it is no surprise that Chanel Iman is a flourishing high fashion model making a name for herself in the fashion industry. Born December 1st 1990 in Atlanta Georgia, Chanel signed with the prestigious Ford Modeling agency at the age of 13. Since then, "designers and major fashion houses from New York, London, Milan, and Paris put her in their A List lineups, from High Fashion to Haute Couture. Designers include Marc Jacobs, Ana Sui, Phillp Lim, and Valentino. (Chanel man website)." In 2007, She was featured in vogue magazine as one of the world's next top models and was one of the first black models in 8 years to walk for Gucci. She is the youngest and most successful African-American fashion model of her time!

Posh Music: Move Your Body by Beyonce

Posh Culture will like to applaud Beyonce for her contribution in First Lady, Michelle Obama's health Campaign, Let's Move!

Let’s Move! is a comprehensive initiative, launched by the First Lady, dedicated to solving the problem of obesity within a generation, so that children born today will grow up healthier and able to pursue their dreams. ~ Lets move! website

The video is lively, fun and will definitely make kids break a sweat. Beyonce took her hot single Get Me Bodied and changed it to a good work out song for kids. For that, this video is Posh Culture Certified!

Gucci Obsession

Since Gucci released their 2011 spring collection, the buzz of the collection has definitely gone global from the red carpet in the big city to Vogue magazine cover in Japan. This collection screams "daring" as Gucci was not afraid to mix colors adding a touch of gold to finish the look. The collection seems to be a mix of royalty and safari inspired looks with the royal silk colors and the gold beaded dress with feathers for the finishing touch. We picked a few of our best looks from the collection to share with you guys! Enjoy!

Both Beyonce and Naomi Campbell wore one of the dresses from the Gucci collection on the covers of big magazines and there has been question of who rocked the look better. We say it looks hot on both of them..
