Net-A-Porter:
Samantha Cameron's emerald green pleated Burberry dress sold out on the online luxury retailer's web site within minutes of her arrival at Westminster Abbey. Cost: £495, only slightly more expensive than Kate's Issa engagement dress.

David Beckham's top hat:
He carried it both entering and exiting the cathedral but never seemed to place it on his head. Either he wanted to show off his new haircut or he was worried about being chided in the locker room.
