Kate Middleton Wore The Same Dress As Her Mom

Kate Middleton is a style icon for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is she knows what flatters her. The Duchess of Cambridge looks smart in coat dresses, kimonos, lace shifts–but almost always opts for sleeves (even on a certain big day).

Shopping Guide: Be Your Own Kate Middleton In These Lovely Lace Dresses

Much has been made of Kate Middleton’s tour of Canada: how she’s styling herself, how she brought along 30 outfits (anticipating several changes a day), how the only member of her entourage is her hairdresser… but, really, what’s mattered most so far is that lovely Erdem dress she wore on Day 1. In typical Duchess of Cambridge fashion, it sent women crashing online stores in search of something demure, delicate and lacey.

Poll: Kate Middleton's Blue Dress Hysteria

Perhaps you’ve heard about that blue Issa London dress Kate Middleton wore to announce her engagement. Look, it’s a beautiful dress. Really beautiful. That kimono shape flatters a lot of figures and that deep blue flatters even more skin tones. It’s a lovely, demure, tasteful dress. And even with its $620 pricetag, it sold out within hours of the images’ publication. Rather than ask about Middleton’s sudden enormous influence on fashion, I want to get specific. Are you as crazy about this dress as everyone else seems to be or is this just a royal case of idol worship? Click through to vote. More »
