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. Here are a few excellent options from $24-$985, featuring Erdem, French Connection, Issa, Topshop, Anthropologie, and more. More »

Poll: Kate Middleton’s Blue Dress Hysteria

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 »
