At this week's Burberry show, the Telegraph newspaper's influential Fashion Editor Hilary Alexander said the designer of the dress Middleton will wear when she marries Britain's Prince William on April 29th is likely to be an unknown.
"I think she's got someone she's discovered, like her own secret discovery, and it'll be made in absolutely top secret conditions and we won't know until on the day but I suspect it'll be something beautiful," Alexander said.
Most fashion experts agree that Middleton will most likely choose a British designer, although no specific requirements about home-grown talent are stipulated by Buckingham Palace.
British designers who have been mentioned besides Oldfield include Matthew Williamson, couture wedding dress designer and the bookies' favorite Phillipa Lepley; as well as former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, who has only recently begun to design her own clothes after years of wearing luxury labels.
Speculation around Beckham heightened after it was revealed that she and her soccer player husband David had been invited to the wedding.
The paparazzi have already surrounded Oldfield's shop in London's Knightsbridge since Middleton, her mother and her sister were seen leaving the showroom. According to vogue.co.uk, Oldfield greeted Middleton himself.
Oldfield no longer shows at London Fashion Week but due to the increased media attention and demand from potential brides and "Kate wannabes," he has put photographs of some of his classic but modern wedding gowns on his website.
