Kate Middleton Changed Her Style to Make William and Country Like Her More (Kate Gets Inspired By Diana’s Looks)

Kate Middleton has not always been perfect in terms of fashion. She was girlie, sometimes tasteless and too daring. But her love to William has changed her. She understood that if she hadn’t changed both internally and externally she would never be his wife, and the Queen of England. She had to embrace new type of behavior and new style, more appropriate for the status she aspired to. Gone is denim she used to wear too often, flashy outfits for rollerblading, too sheer and short dresses, the new Kate is elegant, stylish and chic. And we know whose style she uses for inspiration (and she is absolutely right as this is the road to success!) – Princess Diana’s, the woman who always knew how to look smart.

Now, let’s discuss a few Kate Middleton’s looks that reminded us about Diana’s incredible fashion sense.

I think these looks are VERY similar. Princess Diana wore this red jacket and a black hat on Christmas Day in 1993. Kate opted for the resembling outfit for the Sovereign’s Parade at Sandhurst Military Academy in December 2006.

Kate Middleton has developed great love to hats and some of those look pretty alike with Diana’s hats. For instance, this feathered hat Kate wore at the wedding of Laura Parker-Bowles in June 2006 bears strong resemblance with Diana’s John Boyd headwear.

Sundresses – both polka dot and red but worn to different occasions. While Diana went for this look to shine at the premiere of the 1981 James Bond film For Your Eyes Only in Leicester Square, Kate rocked the dress at a June 2006 Chakravarty Polo Match, in Surrey.

Blue is a flattering color for both Princess Diana and Kate Middleton. These two gowns clearly show it. Diana attended a charity dinner at the Sydney Entertainment Centre in 1996, and Kate Middleton appeared at the Boodles Boxing Ball at The Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, June 2006.

Royal family likes spending holidays in Switzerland enjoying the snow and skiing. In 1986, Diana went to the place and wore a bright red skiing costume. Kate Middleton chose the same color when she accompanied the royals on a vacation in 2005.

Of course there are other examples which can be just cases of co-incidence or cases demonstrating Kate Middleton’s desire to try on Princess Diana’s look. No matter what it is, we don’t blame Kate for copying Diana’s style. It’s good she’s learning. And she’s been wise to choose William’s mother as the icon. However, she shouldn’t stay just a copier forever, one day she has to step out of Diana’s shade and show her own style that is unique and perfect.

Kate Middleton’s Wedding Dress – Designers’ Sketches

Veronica Valter — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 09:02:31 +0000

I just couldn’t stay away from the trendiest topic in the world – Prince William and Kate Middleton’s marriage. People talk and discuss the proposal in every tiny detail and the engagement ring history is now known to everyone. But what I’m much more interested now is the wedding dress the future Queen is planning to wear to the altar.

The dress has to be gorgeous as the bride is. So, the lucky designer Kate Middleton chooses to create the most important dress of her life will be under great pressure but so much privileged. There are some rumors it’s going to be Daniella Issa Helayel, Kate’s favorite designer, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Now there are many designers who are ready to offer their services to Kate Middleton, including Elizabeth Emanuel who designed Princess Diana’s wedding gown. Her vision of Prince William’s fiancée’s wedding dress is interesting to look at. It’s feminine, elegant and truly sophisticated. The design isn’t pompous and looks fabulous. But that’s just my opinion.

Among other designers who have already sent Kate Middleton their sketches we find such names as: Ben Delisi, Uffe Frank, Sassi Holford, Jacques Azagury and others. All of these are British of course. But I wonder if Kate would be allowed to wear a gown created by overseas designer, Vera Wang for example. I know it’s against the tradition but it’s Kate’s wedding, right? Can’t she make her own choice?

Here are the sketches of Kate Middleton’s wedding gown. Tell me which you like.
