The most famous dress that ever was—at least in this century—is finally going on public display. There’d been a lot of speculation that the lace Alexander McQueen dress Sarah Burton made for Catherine Middleton’s royal wedding to Prince William would make its way to the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the opening of the McQueen exhibition. It didn’t, but it will be out and about in Buckingham Palace starting July 23rd and running through October 3rd. The Fiona Cairne-designed Royal Wedding Cake—a traditional English fruticake—will be on display in the Royal Dining Room as well, all in celebration of the Palace’s summer opening.  A collection of Faberge eggs will also be on display, for an extra dose of royalty.
