PHOTOS - When Kate Middleton takes inspiration from Lady Diana
With each new release of Kate Middleton, fans study her look to buy her outfit, while others are immediately looking for what look of Princess Diana inspired her. Floral dresses, polka dots, Peter Pan collar, Kate Middleton invests Lady Di's wardrobe with, always, a resounding success.
When Kate Middleton sports a new outfit, there is often an air of déjà vu. And for good reason, she does not hesitate to take a lot of inspiration from Lady Diana's looks. A very chic way to pay tribute to her like this floral dress worn on June 19, 2020 with a pair of espadrilles.
Sometimes Kate Middleton's outfits seem to border on Lady Diana's plagiarism, but of course it's a tribute. On June 17, 2019, the resemblance was obvious during the Order of the Garter ceremony at Windsor Castle. Kate Middleton wore an ivory coat dress with black border Catherine Walker. An outfit that looks like two drops of water like the ivory tailor with navy trim by couturier Tomasz Starzewski, worn by Lady Di on the 50th anniversary of the Allied victory in 1995.
On more than thirty occasions, Prince William's wife has gone out with looks very similar to her husband's mother, so much so that it can't just be down to chance. She even does this at very important times in her life, such as when she was released from St Mary's Hospital after the birth of Prince Louis on April 23, 2018. Kate Middleton wore a red Jenny Packham dress with a white collar, which does a lot. think of the long red coat signed Jan van Velden, which Diana had on leaving the same hospital, after the birth of Prince Harry on September 17, 1984.
It almost makes you wonder if she hasn't inherited her wardrobe. Yet even though it is subtle, it is quite different. The creators are not the same. Both are fans of big black polka dots, but for Diana the dress was designed by Victor Edelstein in 1986, while the one Kate Middleton wore at Wimbledon in 2017 is by Dolce & Gabbana. In 2017, an exhibition dedicated to Diana's style was presented in London, but Kate Middleton did not wait to copy it, since in 2016 the list of similar looks was already long. And she hasn't finished lying down a priori.
