From Alexander McQueen to Dolce & Gabbana, the Duchess of Cambridge has a wardrobe to boot, with designers bending over backwards to dress the sartorially clued-up royal in their creations.
But despite having the most esteemed designers on speed dial, the well-dressed mother-of-two sticks to a tried-and-tested formula when it comes to styling herself.
BELTED COATS
In order to wrap up warm but also keep things chic, Kate often turns to a trusty belted coat.
As fashion expert Simon Glazin notes: 'The belts on her coats cleverly give her some shape, contouring her waist. In order to wrap up warm but also keep things chic, Kate often turns to a trusty belted coat.

NUDE COURT SHOES
Indeed, Kate cannot get enough of her favourite £185 nude LK Bennett heels, wearing them again and again.
Despite their four-inch heel, the 'go with everything' shoe must be comfortable.
BOXY CLUTCHES
Whether she's on the red carpet or visiting a local school, Kate is always armed with a boxy clutch bag.
The perfect size for the few possessions she takes out with her, Kate has a clutch in every colour and style imaginable. Whilst she mostly plumps for simple suede bags in blues and blacks, she has been known to carry a glitzy Aspinal of London clutch, as well as a metallic version.
LACE DRESSES
Whether she's stunning in Dolce & Gabbana or dazzling in Self Portrait, Kate has been turning to lace designs for her most high profile engagements in recent months.
'A lace dress is a must because it bridges the gap between a too-old-for-her print and something a bit more risqué, and Kate looks good in them,' notes Glazin.
PRACTICAL HEMLINES
Kate will never be caught in anything that falls too high above her knee - but she looks far from frumpy.
The stylish royal achieves this by opting for bold prints and beautifully ornate dresses, which keeps the attention above her knee.
FLORAL EMBELLISHED FASCINATORS
Whilst she has hundreds of hats and fascinators, her favourite style is a floral embellished piece of headgear.
Whether she's giving a nod to her host country or stunning at the races, Kate always offsets her look with a beautifully ornate fascinator. |
