Kate Middleton

Apologies in advance for the royal pun here, but Kate Middleton is undoubtedly the queen of colour. We can probably assume that she’s following in the footsteps of Queen Elizabeth, who always wears bright colours so that she can be spotted in a crowd. Or maybe Middleton just likes her brights (and has brushed up on her spring/summer 2022 fashion trends via our bumper report). Either way, she’s been known to wear trendy colours right as they’re gaining steam, and that was certainly the case today at the annual Commonwealth Day Service at Westminster Abbey. This time, the buzzy colour trend we’re referring to (which happens to be quite pretty and flattering on everyone) is cobalt blue. It’s a hue we spotted all o...

Who doesn’t love a good royal tour? Kate Middleton travelled to Denmark solo but then joined forces with Crown Princess Mary of Denmark in Copenhagen, offering double the royal fashion. The Duchess of Cambridge attended a variety of events, including a meeting at Amalienborg Palace. However, during her visit, there were two particular looks that stood out to us. First up was the look she wore to the Copenhagen Infant Mental Health Project at the University of Copenhagen. For the outing, Middleton looked sharp in a red tweed blazer and on-trend black wide-leg trousers, whilst carrying a cute patent top-handle bag.  Alarm bells began going off in our heads—had we seen this blazer before? Yes, we had! And not just on Middleton, either. The Duchess had indee...

While browsing through H&M’s new arrivals for a story—yes, it’s is part of my job—I saw a sporty sweater that looked incredibly familiar. Then it hit me: none other than Kate Middleton has worn a similar version before. And upon further digging, I found a photo of the late Princess Diana in the very same trend, too. Is that kismet or what? Varsity jumpers are certainly nothing new, but H&M has a knack for translating trends into extremely affordable pieces that are widely accessible. So when I come across a royalty-approved trend at a £20 price point, I knew I had to share. Scroll down to see how Kate and Diana styled the preppy sweater trend and shop it for yourself.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for D...

This week, the Duchess of Cambridge visited the offices of a charity called Shout, which is a text service in the UK that provides mental health support 24/7. Her appearance was to mark the milestone of reaching over one million conversations. How impressive is that? For the occasion, Kate Middleton wore a dress by Derek Lam along with suede boots by Ralph Lauren.  Her outfit combo reminds me of Anna Wintour’s (and just about every other fashion editor’s) very specific uniform: a printed midi dress and knee-high heeled boots. Wintour has worn countless variations of this combination, switching up details like sleeves, prints, and boot styles, though Middleton is no stranger to this formula either. She has chosen it for countless occasions and engagements in the pa...

Try as she might, no amount of Zara jumpers and Accessorize earrings could make Kate Middleton actually seem relatable—no offense, duchess. It’s just that a royal-sized budget, jewel-encrusted tiaras, and worldwide fame is a tad out of reach for the average person. That said, you certainly don’t need to spend big bucks to recreate many of the Duchess of Cambridge’s outfits, including her most recent one. Middleton was photographed with Prince William at an event for Church on the Street, a charity that aims to lift people out of poverty. For the occasion, she wore a Massimo Dutti coat, Iris & Ink jumper, and skirt, and Missoma earrings. Her camel coat, in particular, stood out because it’s such an expensive-looki...

No one makes fast fashion look expensive quite like Kate Middleton, but after looking into the contents of the outfit she wore at her and Prince William’s first public outing of 2022, it’s clear that she’s outdone herself this time. For an official visit to the Foundling Museum in London, Middleton did what she does best—i.e., rewearing her favourite wardrobe items from affordable brands like Zara and the UK-based label Jigsaw.  In addition to her sold-out blue coat from the latter brand, which she first wore in January 2020, Middleton grabbed a £20 black turtleneck jumper from Zara and a pair of matching Jigsaw trousers that just so happen to be majorly trendy right now. The high-waisted slacks are wide-leg and ...

If the Duchess of Cambridge knows anything, it’s how to put together a Christmas Day outfit. Not that we’d expect anything less from Kate, but ever since her first appearance in 2011 with the royals at their traditional Christmas morning church visit, the duchess has been getting it right year after year, serving us some serious festive-dressing inspiration when we need it most.  Like any good winter outfit, her looks always centre around a statement coat that says cosy but refined. Sometimes she pairs her outerwear with suede boots or classic courts, and there’s nearly always a fabulous headpiece, her go-to drop earrings and a hint of faux fur. As the duchess settled into royal life, her Christmas Day outfits only got better and better. You only nee...

Kate Middleton‘s sister Pippa never needed an introduction again after that bridesmaid dress, but now there’s yet another chic member of the family to keep an eye on. In September, Alizee Thevenet married Kate and Pippa’s brother, James Middleton, and she has a cool, relaxed kind of style that I think you’ll love. Thevenet is French, works as a finance director in London, and from the looks of her Instagram, happily co-parents James’s five dogs. How cute are they?  Thevenet and Middleton recently attended a carol service at Westminster Abbey hosted by the Duchess of Cambridge. For the royal affair, Thevenet stayed true to her French roots and wore a suit by Sèzane, an affordable Paris-based brand. The label has long been my favorite for und...

Last week, we were treated to a rare red carpet appearance by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, and now we’re spoiled with a glam showing courtesy of Kate Middleton and Prince William. The couple arrived at the Royal Variety Performance at Royal Albert Hall in London, and they dressed to the nines for the occasion. The Duchess of Cambridge rewore her green Jenny Packham gown that we first saw on her tour of Pakistan in 2019, while the duke complemented her emerald dress with a jewel-tone velvet blazer. Middleton’s intricate dress is made with hundreds of sequins and definitely turned heads on the red carpet. Sequins, of course, are a trend that comes back with a vengeance every party season, so I rounded up some of my favourite ways to wear them below.  You Deserve to M...

With its epaulettes detailing, regal navy, red and white colourway, and smart fit, Kate Middleton‘s classic winter coat was an elegant and fitting choice for commemorating Remembrance Day today in the centre of London. As is tradition, the Royal Family attended the Remembrance Day service at The Cenotaph, and despite the Queen being noticeably absent due to a sprained back, the Duchess of Cambridge held a central position in the balcony alongside Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, and Sophie, Duchess of Wessex. All had oversized poppies pinned to their winter coats and the trio also chose subtle drop earrings, however, it was Camilla and Catherine who opted in for oversized black hats. Camilla’s was adorned with ostrich feathers, while Catherine’s was a little more pared ...

Kate Middleton is no stranger to skinny jeans outfits. In fact, they seem to be her casual attire of choice—likely because they look polished and classic, which describes her aesthetic in a nutshell. She’s particularly fond of black skinny jeans, and those are what she wore today in Scotland during the United Nations Climate Change Conference. In addition to her black skinny jeans, Middleton wore a black turtleneck, combat boots, and one of 2021’s most casual winter trends: a quilted vest. Hers is an oversize green vest from Ganni, a brand that has excelled at making quilted nylon outerwear cool.  Quilted nylon vests may be trendy this season, but they’re also quite functional. They’re perfect for the “cold but not too cold” days...
