The famous wedding gown worn by The Duchess is vying to be the Design of the Year at the Design Museum's yearly awards.

When Kate Middleton stepped out on her wedding day, the dress she wore stunned designers and fanatics all over the world. The Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen gown quickly became a phenomenon, with knockoffs produced hours after the royal matrimony.

The much-talked about wedding dress was made from silk and ivory, with detail lace flower cutouts and a slim bodice that showed off Middleton's doll-like physique. Because of the huge impact it had all over the financial and fashion world, it is now up for the most coveted design award of the year.

The wedding gown is up against several other iconic designs that immediately shaped the culture, but many are veering towards the win of this fashionable creation.

The gown, along with several items that The Duchess wore on the day of her wedding with Prince William, was exhibited at the palace during the summer of 2011 for tourists and fanatics to see.

Another design up for the award is the Olympic torch, which was designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, a design duo based in east London. The London setting of the 2012 Olympic games gave this design the worldwide spotlight.

Other contender for the award is the "comedy carpet" in Blackpool that has many "catchphrases" from over 1,000 comedians.
