CopyKate: A Lilac Gown Inspired by Kate Middleton's BAFTA McQueen

Lusting over the pale purple belted McQueen gown that Kate Middleton sported at the BAFTA event in L.A.? edressme.com now has a lilac gown inspired by the Duchess' simple and elegant evening style. The copy has a bow in the back, which we're not really loving, but otherwise we think its a pretty good version.

Add a pair of sparkly Choos and you're good to go!

Kate Middleton's Wedding Shoes, Dress, Etc. Go on Display at Buckingham Palace

If you, like us, have always wondered what Kate Middleton's Alexander McQueen lace wedding shoes really looked like, now you have your answer. Sensible, closed toe, prettier for the lace. Very Kate, we'd say. If you're in London you can head to Buckingham Palace where Kate's wedding ware is going on display.

The top two layers of the wedding cake on display are apparently replicas as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have saved them, per tradition, to serve at their first child's christening. I guess that's because, unlike us who save for our first anniversary, these royals usually have their kids before then. 

The Duchess of Cambridge is set to kick off the exhibit along with QEII later today. We're keeping our eyes peeled for you AAKers! You can check out some more detailed pics of Kate's £250,000 (we know!) wedding dress here.

Royal Tour of North America: Day 10 - Duchess of Cambridge Wears Lilac McQueen at BAFTA Event in L.A.



via dailymail.co.uk

So we all know that Kate Middleton loves her white and navy, but now it seems we may have discovered a new hue that makes the Duchess' heart sing: lilac. The third L.A. outfit to feature this shade is Kate's much anticipated gown for the BAFTA event, namely a beautifully draped cap-sleeved Alexander McQueen.

Look, we'll be honest. We wanted some drama. A tiara or two. Some sizzle. And while Kate looked very nice (we especially like the beaded belt and her sweet waistline) we would have liked something a bit more...well, more.

We have to admit that Kate's evening show--the Jimmy Choo Vamp Glitter-Finish Sandals--were to die for. Glam and sparkly. Two thumbs up!

Kate's equally shimmery silver clutch is the Ubai, also from Jimmy Choo.

The Duchess' also wore a bracelet borrowed from the Queen. No information was made available about Kate's tasteful chandelier earrings.

Royal Tour of North America: Day 5 - Kate's Nautical McQueen

Very nautical. Very Anne of Green Gables. That was Kate Middleton today in Prince Edward Island. The Duchess wore a white dress that featured navy stripes from Alexander McQueen.

The 20s inspired frock was previously worn by Sarah

Jessica Parker (in the opposite colourway) in 2006.

Kate's navy suede pumps remain a mystery.

The Duchess wore her hair in a ponytail and

accessorized with her diamond-and-sapphire earrings.

We're feeling this McQueen on Kate.

 It's classic, but with a twist.

Happy Fourth of July!

What Was Kate Middleton Wearing at the Irish Guard Medal Parade? McQueen!

There were epaulets! Shiny gold buttons! And a fabulous clutch to boot!

Can you tell we're really, really, really feeling Kate Middleton's navy, military-inspired Alexander McQueen coat and dress for the Irish Guard Medal Parade? Like, really, really, really feeling it.

This is the Kate we love -- classic but fresh, stylish but appropriate.

Seriously, we think she hit the nail on the head.

Sarah Burton's Pre-Fall collection for McQueen was full of military inspiration but it appears that Kate's outfit was custom. (McQueen has confirmed both garments are theirs).

The Duchess of Cambridge carried a drool worthy blue box clutch from Anya Hindmarch. The Marano is made of shagreen, AKA real stingray.

The ID of Kate's navy pumps remain a mystery, although they do look like her black Pradas we don't think they're the same design. We'd love to know your thoughts.

Kate's uber cute fascinator is by Rachel Trevor-Morgan and the Duchess was also wearing her Kiki Mcdonough citrine earrings again. Some new pieces of jewelry included a Shamrock brooch and a monogrammed gold charm bracelet. The brooch has been worn by other members of the royal family like Princess Anne and apparently is loaned out by the Irish Guards Regiment.

Kate Middleton Wears White McQueen at Trooping the Colour

Okay, we can't say we know exactly what Trooping of the Colour is (Something to do with the Queen's birthday? Maybe?) but we definitely know that when we saw Kate Middleton in her white Alexander McQueen coat dress we died a little. If this girl always dresses like this we'll love her forever.

Kate definitely seems to like rocking the white/cream/ivory lately, ostensibly to remind us that she is the bride of the year (Kate Moss, Charlene Wittstock, don't you forget it!) Kate's black hat is by Philip Treacy.

The coat is on sale at net-a-porter:
now only $2,691.50!

Kate was wearing another pair of Kiki Mcdonough earrings, this time the designer's White Topaz and Diamond Stud Earrings from the Grace Collection.

So in short, we are mad over this coat dress.
The cut, the fit, the little injection in youth and
style in a design that could otherwise be dowdy.
Please KMidd, we're begging you, let's stay on this road.

Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress: Part Deux

A girl needs to be comfortable for dancing and Kate Middleton is no different. Departing Clarence House for Buckingham Palace and her wedding reception, the newly minted Duchess of Cambridge chose to chuck her McQueen wedding gown for another white dress designed by Sarah Burton. Kate's second dress is a strapless, floor-length gazar number with a jewelled waistband that Kate accessorized with a cute and cropped angora sweater. Camilla, also seen here, switched it up opting for another Anna Valentine creation.

Pippa Middleton also left her white McQueen behind...

For the evening Pippa opted for a jewel-coloured Temperley London gown.

We're not 100% sure we're on the Pippa train, although we can say the girl certainly is tanned.
