The Duchess of Cambridge is revered for her classic and elegant sense of style. Often opting for modern but still professional attire, the duchess always strikes the right note of chic and smart. One of Kate’s favorite ways to look like a modern princess is to dress in lace–she finds the fabric to be a great choice for appearing revealing without losing any modesty.
Here are Kate Middleton’s 9 Best Lace Dress Moments:
