In case you haven't noticed, Kate Middleton has been taking some bold fashion risks lately, considering her status as a Duchess. Given that the Royal Family typically adheres to a strict dress code for public appearances, Kate's recent and unexpected fashion choices have truly captured our attention.
From the time she met Prince William in 2001 until their engagement in 2010, Kate's style leaned towards a more modest and conservative approach. Perhaps she aimed to showcase her suitability for royalty, or maybe it was simply her personal inclination. In any case, she rarely stepped out in revealing or trendy outfits.
After their engagement, Kate was often seen in A-line, long-sleeved dresses, always paired with stockings. By the time of their wedding in 2011, her uniform consisted of proper coat dresses, adorned hats and fascinators, and closed-toe shoes.
It wasn't until this year, 2017, that the Duchess of Cambridge began taking significant fashion risks with her ensembles. In May, during a visit to Luxembourg, she wore a stunning powder blue coat dress with a slightly lower neckline than her previous choices. However, it was in July when her personal style truly flourished.
On July 20, during a visit to Berlin, Kate wore a striking sleeveless navy and green patterned dress, paired with open-toed sandals. Yet, the real showstopper came the day before when she sported a sultry and ultra-trendy garden outfit. Her scarlet, off-the-shoulder Alexander McQueen maxi dress with ribbon details and a ruffled trim was incredibly relatable, but also a departure from what we typically see from members of the Royal Family.
If this recent red ensemble is any indication of what awaits us in the months and years to come, it's safe to say that we are eagerly anticipating the unfolding of the Duchess's personal style.
Take a stroll through the years to witness Kate's finest fashion moments and truly appreciate the remarkable evolution of her wardrobe.
