Kate Middleton’s Stunning Looks

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, has been known for her poised and elegant fashion choices, often sharing her strong sense of style with audiences near and far. As a trend-setter, Kate has been gracing the public eye with her sartorial choices since her engagement, but there are some looks that truly stand out. Read on to explore some of Kate’s most stunning looks over the years.

Royal Tour Fashions

One of Kate’s most poignant style moments came on the family’s first official overseas tour in 2011. On the tour, Kate’s fashion focused on expressing a British aesthetic, while staying true to her personal style. Stand-out looks included a separates look from Reiss and a red undulating gown from Jenny Packham at a formal function to the glamorous, almost futuristic feathered gown from Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen for the BAFTA Awards.

Imperial Glamour

Along with Royals such as the late Princess Diana and HRH the Queen, Kate pays special homage to imperial glamour. Her penchant for luxurious gowns and subtle jewels is evident in her red carpet choices, a la her cobalt blue Jenny Packham gown at the Australian State Dinner and her backless silver sequin gown from Alexander McQueen at the premiere of her brother-in-law’s film, Spectre. Kate’s also yearns for traditional cuts and fabrics such as intricate embroidery and lace for more formal and semi-formal engagements.

Smart Day-Time Dressing

Arguably, Kate’s best day-time looks exude a smart, yet sophisticated effect. Often opting for lower shoe and heel heights, the Duchess’ sophisticated skirt suits, midi-dresses and separates are often paired with contemporary coats and hats from the likes of Stuart Weitzman, Lock & Co and Emilia Wickstead. In addition, Kate’s looks often include minimalistic jewellery pieces, and often no-earrings as to not outshine her young daughter’s, HRH Princess Charlotte, who she is often seen with.

Overall, Kate Middleton has proved time-and-time again that she is one of the most stylish royals in history. With each event and tour, she elevates her style choices while maintaining her timeless elegance. From her most glamourous gowns to her smart day-time dressing, it is clear that the Duchess of Cambridge is the final word on style.
