The Duchess of Cambridge has a wardrobe that most could only imagine in their wildest fashion fantasies. Indeed, Kate’s closet is lined with Alexander McQueen, Erdem, Gucci and Roland Mouret. And while Kate has plenty of cargo jackets, striped sweaters and riding boots–she has a special flare for dramatic dressing.

Here are Kate Middleton’s 8 Most Romantic Dresses:

  1. Sequin Stunner

In 2017 Kate wore this beaded illusion gown from Jenny Packham. Heads turned. Jaws dropped. And women the world over rushed to their local department store seeking a fashionable facsimile. Shop a similar style here.

2. Lovely in Lace

Kate wowed the crowd in this green Temperley London dress to the National Portrait Galley. The sheer sleeved dress was an elegant choice for the glitzy night out. Plus, she got to wear some amazing pink tourmaline and amethyst drop earrings!


3. Playing Peek-a-Boo

In lieu of cleavage, cutouts or another royal rulebreaking clothing move, Kate often wears modest silhouettes and loves a sheer sleeve which gives a hit of skin without sin. And Kate always manages to keep her bling full of eye-catching dazzle–case in point: the Nizam of Hyderabad diamond necklace, loaned to her by the Queen. Get a lookalike here.

Another drapey chiffon frock for the duchess who nearly floats down the red carpet in these sheer pleated numbers. How does she look good in all of them? And per usual, all  eyes were on the royal for her appearance at the Bafta Awards in this pale purple dream dress.
