<p>Businesswoman Michelle Mone wore a bespoke, low-cut corset to receive an OBE at Buckingham Palace &#8211; and revealed that she hopes to design Kate Middleton&#8217;s bridal lingerie.</p>
<p>The creator of Ultimo lingerie designed the risque black outfit, which revealed a sheer bra underneath, especially for the ceremony.</p>
<p>It was only completed 24 hours earlier, leading to last-minute worries for the co-founder of MJM International, who admitted the ceremony was &#8220;so nerve-racking&#8221;.</p>
<p>Admiring her medal just after receiving it, the Glaswegian entrepreneur said: &#8220;I designed it a few weeks ago but it was only finished last night, so my husband brought it down. I didn&#8217;t even have a chance to try it on. I wanted to wear an Ultimo creation, but I did think: &#8216;Should or shouldn&#8217;t I wear it?&#8221;</p>
<p>In the event, she said Princess Anne did not comment on the outfit, which also included a long black jacket, black trousers, a colourful leopard-print hat and Christian Louboutin heels, but talked to her about business instead.</p>
<p>Mrs Mone&#8217;s firm is launching a range of bridal dresses next year, but she said they would not have time to design Kate Middleton&#8217;s dress for her wedding to Prince William. But she said she would like to provide lingerie for the April 29 wedding, adding: &#8220;I have designed Kate&#8217;s bridal lingerie for her, and I&#8217;m going to send the designs to her. I think Ultimo fits with her image.&#8221;</p>
<p>The Royal Wedding was on the minds of other award recipients at the palace, including cake-maker Michelle Turner, who received an MBE. Mrs Turner, from Gerrards Cross, Buckinghamshire, has already created cakes for the Queen&#8217;s Diamond Wedding anniversary and Prince Charles&#8217; 60th birthday.</p>
<p>Asked if she had been approached regarding the wedding cake, she smiled and said: &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t possibly comment.&#8221; The 40-year-old, who set up the Little Venice Cake Company in 1999 and made the wedding cake for Madonna and Guy Ritchie, said she had &#8220;hundreds of ideas&#8221; for the cake, and added: &#8220;I&#8217;ve seen William born and grow up, and I&#8217;ve always thought: &#8216;Wouldn&#8217;t it be amazing if &#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re a down-to-earth couple, and the cake needs to reflect their personalities. There is also a huge sense of history and occasion, so it needs to be very formal as well. I don&#8217;t think there would be frills, bells and whistles, but very classic and understated, with a sense of history and heritage.&#8221;</p>
<p>Harold Tillman, chairman of the British Fashion Council, who received a CBE, also had ideas on Miss Middleton&#8217;s wedding dress. He said: &#8220;She&#8217;s so beautiful, anything she wears will look stunning. We would like it to be a British designer. I understand there&#8217;s a shortlist. We have several really excellent designers. I think she will go simple and elegant.&#8221;</p>
