Kate the Great! My favorite styles from her North American trip

 

gray sheath dress by Roksada llincic



The Duke and Dutchess have captured the attention of MANY if not MOST of us since the announcement of their engagement.  While some are fascinated more by the fantasy of marrying a price, I am MUCH more interested in the style revolution and seems to be taking place in the past few months.  It seems everything that the Dutchess wears is under a microscope (and soon sold out!).   Admist all the pressure she must be under, she always seems cool and collected and her style choices thus far have not disappointed.  I don't think she has had a mistep yet!   Case and point her worldwind North American tour.  She could do no wrong!   I decided to make a little tribute to some of my fave's from her visit:

She wowed while watching her hubby play polo in this gray printed sheath dress.  While cheering him on all she needed was Julia Roberts' hat from Pretty Woman and maybe a whoop! whoop! call out from the stands!  Love the shoes, the clutch, her hair, it all just works.



Alexander McQueen lilac dress

 This Alexander Mc Queen was my favorite of the trip.  She looked amazing!   And the lilac color was perfect for her!   She was mingling with a who's who's of Hollywood but no one even came close to how great she looked.   The fact that she didn't take her stylist with her on this time really shows how classy she is as well as how great she is at picking out amazing clothes!   She knows what looks on her and knows how to accessorize to boot!  



Reiss dress


She is on point with the latest trends all the time it seems, which is pretty impressive.   She caters to her audience, always considers the culture she in, and respects the fact that she is representing royalty.  For instance, she wore a cream colored dress by a Canadian designer on Canada Day, and accessorized in the country's color of choice, red.    And anyone who can pull off those hats I have to give a shout out to!


 

Erdem dress



This navy and white lace sheath dress was sooooo classy and sophisticated!  I loved that she paired it with simple nude pumps as to not take away from the dress and it just worked.   Her hair and makeup complimented her flawless look.

There was something that she managed to pull off and is getting great praise for, sheer pantyhose!  Ladies, you heard me right!  If you look closely you can tell she is wearing them in almost all the pictures.   While it is regal (Princess Diana wore them as well) I don't know that even the Princess can bring them back from the 80's!  Nor do I know if I want her to!   But you have to give her props for respecting the tradition of the monarchy and being a trendsetter at the same time.  Not an easy thing to do and she does it effortlessly.



Jenny Packham



 Some more styles that she wowed in during her trip include this lemon Jenny Packham dress which she paired once again with nude.   So sweet! 

And it's hard to tell from the picture, but this bird print wrap dress she wore while attending a BBQ was so great!  I love that she paired it with wedges, perfect for the occasion.  And if you look closely you will notice she is wearing pantyhose!



wrap dress

Those are some of the dresses that stood out to me during their North America tour.  She really is a princess and looks so put together all the time.   The fact that she will buy off the rack and wear things more than once shows just how down to earth she is and why people are so in awe of her.    I can't wait to see what she going to wear next!   I do know that it won't disappoint.
