In 2011, Catherine, Princess of Wales, wore a second stunning wedding dress to celebrate her marriage to Prince William. But only 300 guests saw it.
Thirteen years ago, Kate Middleton captivated the world as she walked down the aisle with her father, wearing a breathtaking wedding gown designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.
While her first dress made global headlines, Kate also wore a second dress at a private evening reception. According to a royal expert, this dress reflected how she truly wanted to express herself. Kate chose the British McQueen brand for its craftsmanship and respect for traditional workmanship.
The Palace stated at the time that she wanted a gown that combined tradition and modernity with the artistic vision of Alexander McQueen. The first dress, made of elegant French Chantilly and English Cluny lace, cost a staggering £250,000 and became an iconic symbol of her wedding day. However, her second dress, though less publicized, was just as special.
Stylist and royal fashion expert Miranda Holder explained that some royals change into a second wedding dress after the ceremony. This allows them to leave behind formalities and fully express themselves. Speaking to The Express, she said that having a second dress allows brides to show who they really are and how they want to feel after the formal ceremony and official photos.
Kate’s second look, while still formal, was simpler and more relaxed. Holder described it as “simple and sweet,” with a “very pretty” cardigan, but noted that Kate didn’t seem to have the chance to fully relax.

She is the TV star who slept with over 700 men
The reality TV star, Belinda Love Rygier, says that her sex addiction “ruled her life” and led her to sleep with over 700 men.
She explained how she managed to overcome her addiction and have a normal life.
Belinda “Love” Rygier, who started her TV career by participating in the 2017 season of The Bachelor Australia, said that she is following a recovery program and has been out of a relationship for 15 months.
The 38-year-old woman shared that at one point in her life, she would go out six nights a week just to seek new sexual partners.
During the peak of her addiction, dating apps were not available as they are today, the Australian presenter confessed.
Confessions of a Former Sex Addict
Belinda was invited to a radio show and confessed that she “didn’t realize she had a problem until she healed from it,” according to Mirror.
“When I recovered, I was convinced that there was an unresolved trauma from my past that caused my sex addiction,” she said.
Although her sex addiction had taken over her life, the woman says she was a “functional addict,” with a successful career that operated smoothly, keeping her secrets hidden.
The TV Star says she has “lost count” of the number of men she has slept with over the years but is certain it has exceeded “the figure of 700.”
However, she said she is “not ashamed” of the number of sexual partners she has had and still has a “high sexual desire.”
“Men were very good at telling me what I wanted to hear; it was about feeling beautiful, validated, and loved, rather than making love,” she said.
Why she is now practicing sexual abstinence
Belinda continued, “Society has declined, and we use sex for the wrong reason, which is quick or momentary validation from others.”
She confessed that she can no longer engage in sexual activities without having a strong emotional connection. “I will have sex again, but with someone I have a connection with.”
The TV star is now a “love guru” on social media and often appears on media programs to offer words of wisdom to her thousands of followers.
