Top 10 Kate Middleton Style Moments

Kate appeared at the London premiere of this family film to support Action on Addiction, one of the many charities she patronizes. The future queen looked stunning as always, in a white lace and crepe gown by Self-Portrait. The A-line dress was boasted a scalloped mock neckline, with a pleated skirt that flowed thanks to a thigh-high slit. As it was early November, Kate completed the look with a bright red poppy pin – which is worn in Commonwealth nations in honor of Remembrance Day.

Individually, these pieces are pretty basic, but as an ensemble it’s a classic combo. For her appearance at a SportsAid Athlete Workshop, Kate recyled a look she’d worn to the London Olympics, pairing dark blue skinny jeans with a matching navy blazer. And her cork Stuart Weitzman wedges balance the whole thing perfectly; they’re not too dressy, but not as laidback as a flat. Kate’s pretty active, but just because you might have to play a little volleyball doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice style.

Alongside Princes William and Harry, Kate was all business in a red Armani power suit while attending the official opening of this universal technical college. And the ensemble fit her perfectly, with its dramatic darting and zipper front closure detail. Accessorized with her signature beige Rupert Sanderson pumps and a coordinating clutch by Etui Bags, the look was both striking and professional. Plus, the bright, primary color and modest use of jewelry were enough to catch the eye without distracting from the scholarly event.

No one does maternity wear like Kate Middleton! Stepping out for Trooping the Colour – which is unofficially known as the Queen’s birthday parade – Princess Kate donned a soft pink coat with ornate pearl buttons, created by one of her favorite designers: Alexander McQueen. And Kate’s outfit – complete with jaunty hat! – added some color to an already colorful day. At eight months pregnant, it was her last public appearance before the birth of Prince George, and she made sure it was a memorable style moment.

The whole family wore blue for their 2016 visit to Canada! When the Royals de-planed in British Columbia, Kate wore a cobalt blue, bespoke Jenny Packham dress with gathered shoulders, fluted sleeves and a collar that dropped into a V-shape in back. Appropriately, she also wore maple leaf accessories – the most obvious being a platinum and diamond brooch, on loan from the Queen. But look closely at her hat and you’ll notice it’s bursting with Canadian pride too. All in all, a subtle, stylish way to honor their host country.

As patron of the National Portrait Gallery, the Duchess of Cambridge was in attendance at their annual gala event in 2017, and her emerald green dress was a piece of art in itself. Designed by Temperley London, this floor-length gown with lace overlay was accentuated at the waist by a monochromatic bow belt. In fact, lace seems to be a favorite of Kate’s, leading to a resurgence in its popularity. With her hair down in a cascade of bouncy curls, you almost miss the Kiki McDonough earrings.
