How to Dress Like Kate Middleton: A Comprehensive Guide to the Princess of Wales' Best Outfits

She became a fashion icon when she was known as Kate Middleton, but Catherine, Princess of Wales, is now married to the crown prince and is the future Queen of England. Catherine’s style leans towards classic tailored pieces, floaty feminine day dresses, and regal red carpet looks.

Kate Middleton is known for her elegant and timeless style. She often wears dresses and skirts with a classic silhouette. Kate is known for her love of recycling her clothing and has been seen wearing the same dress or coat on multiple occasions. She is also known for her thrifty style, and has been known to shop at high street stores like Zara and J.Crew.

Kate is a fan of British designers, such as Alexander McQueen, Jenny Packham, and Emilia Wickstead. She is also often seen wearing designer shoes from brands like Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik.

She is the first royal to wear a high street label to a formal engagement. She is also the first royal to wear a pair of jeans in an official engagement.

We kid, but Kate Middleton looked no worse for wear after venturing into the wilds of Arnos Grove in London for the "Dadvengers" community, wearing a workmanlike Edith Jacket from Barbour x ALEXACHUNG, a smart pair of jeans, and brown leather boots.

As with all Kate's outfits, it's going to be tough getting your hands on that jacket, but we recommend a nice cotton twill lookalike from JCrew along with a lovely pair of brown Steve Madden boots. ... more

Kate Middleton attended a family portage session in Sittingbourne, Kent, to support families with special needs. On the fashion front, Kate kept it smart and cool with a textured double-breasted blazer from Zara and black trousers from L.K.Bennett. For footwear, the dutchess opted for her go-to Boden pointed ballet flats.
