Magical in Magenta

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.

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.

Beauty in Blue

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.

Fashion Recycling Revolutionary

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.

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.
