Since becoming a fully fledged member of the royal family, the Duchess of Cambridge’s fashion choices have been analysed to the minute detail. And she’s been awarded a A Star for style.
Whatever Kate is photographed wearing you can be sure it’s sold out within hours, as women desperately try to copy her style. From high street fashion and Zara, to high end bespoke designs by Alexander McQueen, Kate has risen to the task and has become an inspiration for young and old, as she’s represented Queen and country at home and abroad.
Not veering too far from her signature style – knee-length dress or jacket/skirt combo – Kate has shown that she can wear military chic as well as she wears sportswear and dazzling gala dresses.
In 2013 it’s not so much Pippa’s bum, than Kate’s bump that will receive attention. As the royal bump grows, we’re sure the Duchess will continue to delight and surprise us in her fashion choices.
Here are 31 of Kate’s royal engagement looks, starting with… her very own engagement announcement to Prince William.
Happy Birthday Kate!

Kate Middleton has had a week of being in the fashion spotlight.
The Duchess of Cambridge went on a range of Royal visits including meeting the cast of the theatre version of the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. For this event she opted for a simple royal blue dress and coat.
However, the style changed over the weekend when Kate opted for a casual, albeit budget busting, look of £300 Le Chameau wellies, Zara jeans and jumper, a Burberry shirt and waterproof waistcoat for a countryside visit.
She later made up on her spend wearing a cream sculptured, double breasted coat by Alexander McQueen, which she was first spotted in at last year’s Trooping the Colour procession.
See her five days of fashion in the gallery below.

Catherine Duchess of Cambridge has been voted the most fashionable female royal according to a new poll.
The wife of Prince William scored a third of the vote pushing Her Majesty the Queen into second place with 21 percent.
The poll asked more than 1,000 female members of bingo site DottyBingo.com, to choose the most fashionable from a list of eight royal women.
Other royals who scored well were Zara Philips and Sophie Wessex who received 14 percent and 11 percent of the vote respectively.
Other than Her Majesty, older Royals did not fare particularly well in the poll with Princess Anne and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall both scoring seven percent.
Younger royals also scored poorly with Princesses Beatrice getting five percent of the vote and Eugenie three percent.
Kate’s fashionable sister Pippa Middleton was excluded from the voted as she cannot be considered a royal.
A spokesperson from DottyBingo.com said: “It is no surprise that Kate has achieved the top spot of the UK’s most fashionable royal, as for the last year she has hardly left the media spotlight.
“She is a real trend setter, as she only has to be seen wearing something once for it to be an immediate hit on the high-street. What’s more, because of the Duchess’ fantastic shape clothes fit her perfectly.
“Nevertheless, Kate would have had competition for the top spot if we had let people vote for her sister Pippa. However, due to the fact she is not a royal, we decided to keep her of the list.
To celebrate we’ve taken a look back at Kate’s hats. See the gallery below for the best.

Joan Rivers and her daughter Melissa are huge fans of the Duchess of Cambridge’s fashion sense.
The ‘Fashion Police’ star and her only daughter – who are known for their scathing comments on celebrity fashion faux pas – are in agreement that Catherine, wife of Prince William, is an impeccable dresser.
Joan said: “She’s fabulous, she doesn’t put a foot wrong.”
Melissa added: “Never mind what the fashionistas say, she’s like one of your friends who dresses beautifully.”
However, not everyone agrees with them. Nordstrom fashion director Gregg Andrews recently claimed Catherine isn’t a trendsetter and said she wouldn’t stand out if she were not married to royalty.
He said: “She is stylish, but she’s not setting trends, she’s following trends.
“If you take Kate out of the royal family, put her on a street in New York, you wouldn’t look at her twice. She’s a beautiful woman, but she blends into a crowd.”
Gregg’s views were echoed by Elle fashion news director Anne Slowey, who claimed Catherine’s look was only admired because of who she’s married to.
She said: “Is she a style icon of the likes of a Kate Moss? Absolutely not. Is she in the public eye? Are people going to become obsessed with everything she wears regardless of what it is? Yes.”
Ken Downing, fashion director of high-end department store Neiman Marcus, also doubts whether Catherine, 29, will ever be a leading style icon.
He said: “Is she iconic at the moment? Time will tell. She’s certainly influential. In the position that she’s in you can’t be simply stunning as she is and not have influence.”

Britain’s Duchess Catherine has reportedly turned down an opportunity to appear on the front cover of US Vogue.
The 29-year-old royal – who married Prince William in April – was asked by the prestigious magazine’s editor Anna Wintour to appear in a spread but has declined the offer because she doesn’t want to be seen as a fashion icon.
A source told E! News: “Both William and Kate feel it would be wrong for Kate to promote herself as a fashion or style icon. That’s not what they are about and they take their royal duties far too seriously for that.”
Catherine was also said to be wary of upsetting William’s grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, as she knows the monarch wouldn’t have been too keen on the idea.
The source continued: “Kate is keenly conscious that while her new grandmother-in-law may not chide her for appearing on a Vogue cover. But she would definitely not be amused, and Her Majesty is a real genius at making people squirm with simply a look or a ‘tut, tut.’
“To be brutally honest, a request to sit down with The Times, the BBC or one of the major American networks to discuss the monarchy in general is one thing. For Kate to be photographed draped in the latest creation of a couture house to, knowingly or otherwise, self-promote her status as some sort of fashion horse is something quite different.”

Sarah Jessica Parker has revealed that one of her top style icons is our very own Kate Middleton, now the Duchess of Cambridge. When SJP was asked to name her favourite style icons, the I Don’t Know How She Does It actress replied: “So many. Ingrid Bergman & the way Kate Moss dresses & the Duchess of Cambridge. It seems that K-Middy is having just as much an effect on the United States’ wardrobes as she is on ours!
As we all know, Sarah Jessica is a total style icon in her own right after playing Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. When asked what her favourite Carrie fashion moment was, she replied: “The tutu in Paris. It was a real tutu & I’m sure it was from the Royal Ballet.”
The actress is always a familiar face at London Fashion Week because, as we all know, she loves the British fashion industry for its quirks. However, perhaps she’ll stay at home this year as she thinks that the American fashion industry is getting more daring. She said: “British fashion is more risky but we have some emerging American designers that seem inspired in that direction.”
And will SJP, freshly inspired by Kate Middleton, ever venture into fashion design again? “Definitely if I can figure out what it is I want to do.” Watch this space.

It seems that it’s not just us that’s got terrible K-Middy fever, as she’s just been voted as one of the world’s best dressed women in the world in Vanity Fair.
Kate was hailed as the third most well-dressed women in the world, having been pipped to the post by Carla Bruni in first place and Sheikha Moza Bint Nasser of Qatar in second. Still Kate, third place ain’t bad. Also on the list were Carey Mulligan, Tilda Swinton and Princess Charlene of Monaco.
Vanity Fair applauded the young Duchess for her recent habit of “recycling” clothes (i.e. wearing them more than once, ever). Apparently she’s worn her green Diane Von Fustenberg in public at least three times now! Three! Having scorned at the rich and beautiful’s idea of recycling, I have to admit that if I was the Duchess of Cambridge I’d probably never wear the same thing twice – so many fashion possibilities.
Congratulations, oh shiny-haired one – you’re officially the third best-dressed woman in the world.

Kate Middleton in Canada
The Duchess of Cambridge during her visit the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Canada, on the first day of her visit to the Commonwealth country.
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, wowed crowds in Canada yesterday as she embarked on a nine day official tour of Canada. Although boarding the plane she could have mistaken for airline stewardess in a sombre knee length navy blue number, Kate looked every inch the glamour puss by the time she arrived the capital Ottowa.
Designed by Canadian Erdem Moralioglu, the lacy navy and stone scoop-backed shift dress looked absolutely stunning. The day was spent speaking to soldiers, sailors and airmen and laying a wreath to Canada’s war heroes. Joyce Udell, a diplomat with the Canadian Government paid tribute to the Royals: “I don’t like to use the word ‘admire’ but I like her style, I like both their styles, they’re not as ostentatious as some in the royal family.”

Kate Middleton made another fashion debut over the weekend.
The Duchess of Cambridge joined new hubby Prince William at Windsor’s Victoria Barracks, where the pair presented service medals to members of the Irish Guards.
And of course Kate wore an outfit to get us all talking, as well as one perfect for the day.
Giving a nod to the event, the Duchess went for a military themed navy blue double-breasted coat dress, complete with buttons by Alexander McQueen.
She teamed this up with her trademark knee length skirt, matching heels and a must-have fascinator hat.
See the gallery below for all the style.

Duchess Catherine has been praised by milliners Lock & Co Hatters for her impeccable taste.
The wife of Prince William – who is renowned for her sophisticated style – recently wore a hat by the label to two events, the Trooping the Colour ceremony and a friend’s wedding and designer Sylvia Fletcher is thrilled Catherine’s love of stylist headwear is encouraging more people to embrace the trend.
She said: “I am absolutely thrilled Kate chose it. It’s a piece that I personally really love. I’m delighted, I really am. She looked stunning – she has such wonderful taste. She does seem to love our hats.
“It’s a very exciting time for us. We’re getting a lot of interest from the US and from Canada – nations that have never really been into hat wearing before. Our website has given us a much wider presence, and it looks like much more popularity.”
However Sylvia understands not everyone will have the same budget as the duchess and says the company have recently designed a middle fashion hats range in order to keep the brand affordable.
She added to Vogue.co.uk: “We’ve more recently turned it into more of a high fashion business. It’s expanded enormously over the past few years. We’ve designed a middle fashion hats range, which is all about affordable luxury.”
