Ever since she walked down the aisle in a Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown, every fashion move Kate Middleton makes has been closely monitored by fans the world over. She must doing something right – apart from selling out just about every item she steps out in, the now Duchess of Cambridge has made it to the top of Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed list in 2012 and 2011, beating out more seasoned fashion-savvy royals, models and celebrities for the coveted title.
We particularly love her lady-like and elegant sartorial choices. For sure she’s inspired us to focus our purchases on classic, timeless styles that will last for seasons to come. She’s also proven that one doesn’t have to bare a lot of flesh to be sexy and confident or spend a fortune on expensive couture fashion to be on-trend. It is a well-known fact that the Duchess loves to combine high-end fashion with finds picked up from her own shopping trips to more budget-friendly high street stores like Topshop and Zara. Every so often she would go thrifting at second-hand clothing stores - aah, a princess after our own hearts!
According to a survey conducted by the UK Daily Mail, blue accounts for 21% of her wardrobe choices. Indeed she does seem to have a penchant for blue outfits:
Fortunately with a little bit of help from us, you don’t have to snag a prince or spend a king’s fortune to get her true-blue look. We’ve picked out some copy Kate-worthy options in her favourite hue which we think the duchess herself would approve of!
