Kate Middleton’s 20 Most Iconic Dress Moments

Kate Middleton is one of the most famous—and well-dressed—women in the world. Every time she steps out of the house, er, palace, her designer outfits are quickly identified and coveted across the globe. While she does indeed love a pair of trousers, the Duchess of Cambridge is well known for her dresses—both formal and casual. We love a royal who can do both!

Check out 20 of her most stylish dresses and get inspired by her looks to do a little shopping for yourself—no royal title required.

As the Duchess of Cambridge and future Queen Consort, Middleton can’t exactly walk around in trendy minidresses and crop tops—at least not if she doesn’t want to ruffle a LOT of feathers. But she finds ways to follow the “rules” and still have some fun. And that mask is fantastic too.
