The Duchess of Cambridge has once again captivated fashion enthusiasts during her royal tour, showcasing a mix of high-end designers and affordable high street brands. Her wardrobe choices, from elegant gowns to casual chic, have solidified her status as a style icon, with the 'Kate Effect' driving sell-outs of similar items online.
One standout look was a military double-breasted coat by Catherine Walker, reminiscent of Princess Diana's style. A high street alternative can be found at Simply Be for £45, paired with black courts from New Look at £14.99. Another notable outfit was a black and white dress by Tory Burch, which can be replicated with a George @ Asda dress for £18.
For evening glamour, Kate wore a custom Jenny Packham gown. A similar look is available with a Julien Macdonald dress from Debenhams at £60, complemented by a Wallis diamante bracelet (£9.80), a Boohoo clutch (£15), and Jane Norman courts (£20). Her casual style in Auckland featured a Breton top, Zara blazer, and J Brand jeans. A high street version includes a Boden top (£12), River Island jeans (£35), and Bon Prix wedges (£24.99).
Kate also wore a broderie anglaise dress by Zimmerman, which can be found at Boden for £99, with matching tan wedges at £69. Finally, her cobalt blue Stella McCartney dress, first worn in 2012, remains a favourite, though no direct high street alternative is listed.
