The duchess has been chic and the ultimate royal style inspiration for years and believe us when we say 2019 wasn't any different. It may have been her best year yet... But Her Majesty the Queen doesn't always approve

The Duchess and the Queen

This may come as somewhat of a surprise to you, but the duchess and the Queen's visit to King's College in London last March was the first solo outing that the two had taken without another member of the royal family. Originally, Kate had planned to wear something slightly more 'provocative' but after a word from Elizebeth, it seems like the duchess let the Queen shine brightest on this outing. Her Majesty choose a baby pink get-up while the duchess opted for a gray Catherine Walker coatdress. Kate paired her subtle coatdress with a black fascinator that matched her black tights, heels and, clutch.

White seems to be the Duchess's color - every time she steps out in it, she looks stunning. The duchess wore this Alexander McQueen gown to the 2019 EE British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) in London, which she attended with Prince William. She paired the dress with a bun, a diamond bracelet, and a white clutch. When the royal couple arrived at the red carpet outside the Royal Albert Hall, the accessory that caught everyone's attention was the duchess' earrings - pearl and diamond drop earrings which once belonged to Princess Diana.

Tradition and Change

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.

Ethically Conscious Collections

The first dress the duchess debuted in 2019 was a dark-green, long-sleeved number that she chose from one of her favorite brands. The dress was designed by Beulah London, an ethically conscious brand that donates 10% of its profit to victims of human trafficking. The duchess had worn this brand a few times before. She decided to dress in one of their $770 designs for a visit to Family Action, a UK charity that seeks to provide emotional and financial support to underprivileged families.
