The Buzz: A heady mix of high end and high street pieces, this was hailed as a style triumph for Kate, on what was her first race day as part of the royal family. Sadly, the Queen didn’t fare quite as well – her horse, Carlton House, trailed in third.
The Occasion: Meeting the Obamas at Buckingham Palace
The Outfit: Reiss’ £175 Shola dress and a satin clutch by Anya Hindmarch
The Buzz: Having laid low for a few weeks post-honeymoon, Kate was back on the scene with a bang thanks to a high profile meeting with Barack and Michelle Obama – in which she trounced the First Lady’s (admittedly impressive) designer style with this bandage-effect high street gem. Reportedly, 20 dresses were sold online within two minutes of Kate’s appearance and the trend was quickly dubbed ‘Sholamania’ in a repeat of the demand for Kate’s engagement portrait dress, which was also by Reiss.
The Occasion: The morning after the (wedding) night before
The Outfit: A £49. 99 cornflower blue Zara dress, belted, with a black Ralph Lauren blazer and a pair of £129. 99 LK Bennett wedge pumps
The Buzz: How to top two incredible designer dresses that have been the toast of the world? Don’t even try. Newly-wed Kate kept things real as she was pictured leaving Buckingham Palace to hop in a helicopter with her new husband and be whisked away on a mini-moon in a Zara dress and the LK Bennett wedges she also wore on the eve of the wedding. No matter, really – following sister Pippa’s starring bridesmaid role, the heat from the style spotlight was diffused somewhat…
The Occasion: That second dress, for her wedding day evening celebrations
The Outfit: A strapless white satin gown with diamante detailing around the waist by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, plus a white angora shrug
The Buzz: It’s her wedding day, and she’ll change if she wants too! Kate went for a simpler, softer, more romantic vibe with her reception dress than she did for the ceremony show-piece – although she stuck to what she knew, opting for another Burton/McQueen creation. In a display of matrimonial harmony, Prince William also ditched the military uniform her wore earlier in the day in favour of black tie.
The Occasion: Her actual wedding (sob! )
The Outfit: A lace appliqué-bodice gown with a 2m 70cm train by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, with a Cartier tiara borrowed from the Queen and earrings that were a gift from her parents
The Buzz:And so we’re back to where it all began – with that dress, the one fit for a princess. How time flies indeed.
