A bespoke Alexander McQueen lace dress, the Cartier Halo Scroll Tiara, Robinson Pelham earrings, a bouquet of sweet william, myrtle, lily of the valley and hyacinth, typically bouncy hair and make-up done by herself - these are the details we have known about Kate Middleton's wedding attire since the 2011 nuptials.
The April wedding all those years ago, which saw the University of St. Andrews sweethearts become the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, has been pored over ad infinitum.
We've wondered what Prince Harry jokingly said to his brother as Middleton walked down the aisle of Westminster Abbey and we've stared countless times at Pippa Middleton's silky column dress with those beautiful buttons down the back.
What had remained lesser-known, however, is what the then 29-year-old wore on her feet. Yep, we admit it, we weren't sure what Kate Middleton's wedding shoes looked like.
Despite every shot imaginable being taken of the bride on her wedding day, the public never got a glimpse of the shoes at the time, but here they are:
In the excitement of the day, and length of her Sarah Burton-designed, Grace Kelly-inspired dress and train, these ivory lace, hand-stitched, slightly round toed Alexander McQueen court shoes were completely missed.
The shoes accompanied Kate’s wedding outfit in the Ballroom at Buckingham Palace during the annual Summer Opening, from July to October in 2011, and images of the footwear soon circulated across the globe.
Perhaps, unsurprisingly, the heels feel very classic, complementing her gown perfectly, remaining elegant, while looking surprisingly comfortable.

Usually, royal brides don't opt to use the same designer for their dress and shoes, however, Middleton shares this break in tradition with her sister-in-law Meghan Markle, who paired her Givenchy gown with Givenchy heels for her 2018 wedding to Prince Harry.
A more fitting style for 2018 and her dress however, the former Suits star wore pointed court shoes, without any ornate detailing.
So there you have it, you final piece of the missing sartorial marriage puzzle for you. You're welcome.
