35 Times the Duchess of Cambridge Proved That Royalty Has Style

One of the royal family's annual traditions is the Royal Ascot, a racecourse located in Ascot, Berkshire, London, used for thoroughbred horse racing. The Duchess of Cambridge's Ascot dress was light-blue and was designed by Elie Saab and was gorgeously detailed, from the sheer sleeves to the tiny polka dots. She paired the dress perfectly with a powder-blue hat by Philip Treacy topped off with the floral design. Fans noticed that the duchess and the Queen were matching for the event, who was also wearing blue and a floral hat.

The Duchess of Cambridge may be a duchess, but she isn't above wearing the same outfit twice. She wore this magenta suit twice, the first time in January 2017 during a visit to the Royal Opera House in London. The suit comes from Oscar de la Renta's 2015 fall collection, but somehow the duchess makes the outfit look timeless. The second time she sported, the outfit was in November 2019 during a visit to the Nook Children's Hospice in Norfolk, England.

Duchess Kate and Prince William wore matching green ensembles to honor the official color of Pakistan. The Duchess wore a floor-length glittery Jenny Packham gown with a traditional dupatta scarf. Royal women have paid tribute to the nation with their outfits for years. Her husband, Prince William, was the first male member of the royal family to wear a knee-length button-up sherwani. Men in South Asia traditionally wear the knee-length button-up coat.

Kate wore several great looks during her and Prince William's royal tour of Pakistan. On the first day of the royal visit, Kate sported a shalwar kameez, a traditional Pakistani dress designed by Catherine Walker. The unique teal-blue color of the duchess's dress was similar to the shalwar-kameez that Middleton's late mother-in-law, Princess Diana wore during a visit to Pakistan in 1996. This is not the first time the two royal women have been compared to each other. Kate has channeled Princess Diana's style in the past.

The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her revolutionary fashion recycling, and this white off-the-shoulder Barbara Casasola dress was no exception to the change Kate has made in the royal world. The mother of three rocked the dress for the first time at the Art Fund Museum of the Year prize event in 2016. She stunned in the dress again when she arrived in it at the first annual Addiction Awareness Week gala - accessorizing with a satin clutch and glittery metallic pumps.
