When the Princess of Wales wants to do her best special occasion dressing, she often turns to luxury Italian fashion house Dolce & Gabbana for their selection of stunning cocktail dresses, collarless coats and spacious satchels. The princess has been a D&G devotee for a number of years and has made many style statements in the brand’s lacy looks and button-front midi coats.
In addition, the brand is popular among multiple women in the extended Windsor family. The late Princess Diana’s niece Lady Kitty Spencer is also fond of the Italian haute couture design house of D&G. Prince William’s royal relative and first cousin has worn many frothy fairytale designs from the label and even donned the designer for her society wedding in Rome in 2022. Currently, Lady Spencer works as an ambassador and model for the fashion company and frequently posts images of her stunning D&G clothing and accessories on her Instagram page.
The Princess of Wales also remains committed to the brand run by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. With headquarters in Milan, it’s easy to see why the luxury line continues to appeal to Princess Kate as their designs are infused with Italian culture and the allure of the Bella Donna (beautiful woman).
Here are 11 of Kate Middleton’s Best Dolce & Gabbana Fashion Moments:
