LOS ANGELES, Calif. --
The biggest mystery of the Royal Wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton appeared to be solved, but on Thursday, following a statement from Libelula, the designer of the bride?s wedding dress remains a mystery.
Many reports had surfaced in recent days suggesting that Sophie Cranston of Libelula was the woman behind Kate?s gown, but on Wednesday, the company released a statement indicating otherwise.
?For the purpose of clarification we are not designing Kate Middleton?s wedding dress. We, like everyone else, can?t wait to find out who it is,? the company said in a statement.
It is possible that Sophie may still be designing ? or at least creating ? Kate?s dress ? just not under the guise of Libelula. However, there are also reports that the blushing Buckleberry bride designed her own gown for the ceremony on April 29.
Just days ago, the Daily Mail reported that Kate designed her dress and it will feature a 10 ft. train, ivory satin and lace with pearl buttons.
A source told the paper that Kate used her art history degree ? particularly her knowledge of the renaissance ? in the designing of her bridal gown. The paper also reported it will have a ?nod to the iconic Emanuel wedding dress worn by Lady Diana Spencer.?
Sophie?s name had come up as the woman who would create the dress ? based on Kate?s design ? but today?s statement from Libelula casts somewhat of a doubt on that rumor.
Other designer names that have been bandied about in recent weeks have included Alice Temperley (a favorite of many celebrities) and Bruce Oldfield, whose looks the late Princess Diana enjoyed wearing.
Kate previously worked for Jigsaw, a clothing retailer.
