From her sell-out coat collection to the royal’s impressive maternity style, the Duchess of Cambridge has serious sartorial pulling power.
Dubbed ‘The Kate Effect’, the 36-year-old’s wardrobe reportedly contributes a cool £1 billion to the economy. But it’s hardly surprising, as every item the Duchess dons has a shelf life of a mere few hours.
With Alexander McQueen, Erdem and Jenny Packham on speed dial, one would think her Kensington Palace aesthetic is inimitable. But the royal often proves she’s just like us and has been known to hit the high street for a series of engagement looks.
From her pre-Duchess wardrobe to the royal’s now-famous Lindo Wing exits, these are the Duchess of Cambridge’s most memorable fashion moments to date.
