How much does it cost to dress like Kate Middleton?
Despite being an expert in recycling and having very well preserved some pieces of her single times, the commitments of the Duchess of Cambridge, née Kate Middleton, force her to invest a good amount of money in her image. Being one of the most photographed women in the world, if not the most, the closet of Prince William's wife is followed by millions of women, among whom there are some brave ones who try to replicate it to the letter. Loyal fans follow what she is wearing every day and there are those who have ventured to make an estimate of how much it costs to dress as Kate.
Specialized blogs report that last year the DailyMail calculated the Duchess wardrobe at a price of 174,170 pounds sterling (about $ 4,615,505 Mexican pesos). This figure was the highest for Kate, who is usually seen with looks from previous years, in addition to being an avid user of fast fashion brands that are usually the most inexpensive and simple. It is also known that the Duchess refuses to receive free garments to promote some brands and that she asks her team to pay the regular price of each of her pieces. And is that many brands see Kate as a gold mine, knowing that almost absolutely everything she wears disappears from the sideboards in a matter of minutes thanks to the Kate Effect.
With this in mind, the What Would Kate Do? has made a calculation for the first quarter of what is considered the most eventful year on the Duchess's schedule. With more commitments than ever, the price of her wardrobe has also increased considerably. 57,347 pounds sterling ($ 1,519,165 Mexican pesos) is the sum from January to March in the Duquesa's clothing and accessories accounts.
Look a look this has been analyzed, leaving out those garments that were already her. Of course, the sum goes from the simplest things, such as the fake fur collar with which she welcomed the year of only 110 pounds sterling ($ 2,915 Mexican pesos) to the most expensive looks with which she appeared on her first official visit. to Paris.
Among the favorites are, an Erdem floral dress for $ 1,876 dollars ($ 37,500 Mexican pesos), his New Balance sneakers for his sportier look of only 90 pounds ($ 2,385 Mexican pesos), the spectacular Alexander McQueen dress from the BAFTA awards of $ 7,765 dollars ($ 155,300 Mexican pesos) and Oscar de la Renta's Cinderella style shoes for $ 690 dollars ($ 13,800 Mexican pesos).
Of course, the final figure is somewhat volatile because in more than one of the garments added, there is a doubt that it would have already been in the Duchess's closet. When you subtract some of these pieces like an Oscar de la Renta coat of $ 2,190 dollars ($ 43,800 Mexican pesos), $ 800 dollars for a jacket ($ 16,000) and $ 2,500 ($ 50,000) from a Catherine Walker coat, the sum is much less. The final figure would be $ 1,284,395 Mexican pesos.
But don't think you need as much to dress as her. A girl from Great Britain has decided to look just like Kate and for this she searches the internet for the same products through eBay, getting much cheaper garments by investing the total price only in key pieces such as the Gianvito Rossi shoes that she loves so much and the LK Bennett clutch you can't miss. In short, we would like to dive into the most envied closet in the world. You, do you dare?
