I know, I never blogged William & Kate’s Diamond Jubilee tour – I am the worst. I know most of you can relate when I say keeping up with a 12 hour time difference in the midst of “real life” was next to impossible. One thing I did take away from the tour was this – Kate is the ultimate in class, elegance and style. So, to make up for the lack of posts and to have a little fun during this royal lull, I have decided to compile some looks I would love to see hanging in Kate’s closet.
We all envy her wardrobe and if you’re anything like me (and some of my Twitter friends – you know who you are), you often see an outfit and think it would look stunning on The Duchess of Cambridge.
‘Casual’ Engagements
Petite Sailor Button Sleeve Dress, The Loft
I actually own this dress and it is currently my favorite item hanging in my closet. I don’t pretend I can pull off half the looks that Kate can, but I could definitely see her wearing this to an afternoon charity engagement or on a plane ride to/from a tour.
Duck Egg Lace Skater Dress, Miss Selfridge
These colors would be perfect on Kate in the spring/summer. Maybe she’s already worn it because the item is sold out!
I don’t know where this dress is from or who designs it (I even got WhatKateWore in on the case), but when I saw this a few months ago I immediately thought it would have been the perfect dress to wear on the South Pacific tour.
Zarita Lace Sheath Dress, Diane von Furstenberg
This has Kate written all over it! The Duchess of Cambridge has worn DVF before (green dress worn in LA/Zara’s rehearsal dinner), and the lace is right up her alley. It also comes in blue – Kate’s signature color!
Micro-brushed, cotton blend dress, Victoria Beckham
A classic, clean look designed by one of her friends – need I say more?
Pleated silk crepe dress, Chloe
This would look fantastic as is or with a blazer and the color is one that I wish we would see Kate in more often.
Again, the downfall of Pinterest – no idea who makes this dress! It would be perfect for a night at the National Portrait Gallery.
Ermanno Scervino Spring/Summer 2012
The most coveted dress on my Pinterest boards by far. This might be considered ‘risky’ for Kate, but how amazing would she look in that long, tailored skirt?
Petal-collar wool-blend dress, Oscar de la Renta
This is quintessential Cambridge – neutral color, classic fit, paired perfectly with her L.K. Bennett nude pumps. I could see her wearing this to Trooping the Colour or an engagement with Her Majesty.
Black Tie Elegance
Jason Wu, Fall 2011
This dress is absolutely stunning! Kate proved in Malaysia that she can pull off gold well (okay, she can pull off anything). Paired with her sparkling Jimmy Choo stiletto sandals, Kate could turn heads in this shimmering frock.
Embroidered tulle gown, Alberta Ferretti
This dress would look quite elegant on Kate for her next royal dinner party at Buckingham Palace or on an overseas tour. Hair up of course!
Again, I have no clue where this dress came from but I think it speaks for itself.
Elie Saab
I have made no secret of the fact that my dream designer for Kate is Elie Saab. How she hasn’t discovered Saab yet is baffling to me, but either of these dresses would be heavenly on Kate.
Now I’m just on an Elie Saab kick…
Do you envision The Duchess of Cambridge in any of these looks? Who is your dream designer for Kate? Leave some comments!
