If it’s not her class, grace, or work ethic, Catherine, Princess of Wales, always manages to turn heads with her enviable fashion. After every royal event, Catherine, known affectionally as Kate Middleton, sparks a surge of internet searches from passionate royalists desperate to absorb every detail of her latest look.
While her style is dependent on the type of occasion – robes for a coronation, evening gowns for red carpets, or jeans for casual events – some of the princess’ most beloved looks are undoubtedly her dresses.
Often opting for an Alexander McQueen or Jenny Packham design, Catherine loves her midis, often with pleats and long sleeves. When the weather warms up, the royal can be seen trading thicker materials for looser, flowy fabric with short sleeves.
