Gallery: Waity Katie to Fairytale Princess

William bought a front-row seat to a charity fashion show to see his friend Kate model. When she walked down the runway in this number he whispered to a pal, "Kate's hot!" The dress recently sold at auction for over $125,000.

Kate is wearing the blue Issa dress and the sapphire ring previously owned by the late Princess Diana. Prince William said about the ring, "It’s very special to me. As Kate’s very special to me now, it was right to put the two together. It was my way of making sure my mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement, and the fact that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together."
