Olivia Palermo appeared at the amfAR Inspiration Gala wearing a one-shouldered polka dot dress from Bensoni's Spring 2010 collection with a pair of Charlotte Olympia pumps.

Once again Blair Waldorf has beat the real-life
fashionista by wearing a dress first (and with chic Viviers!)


Do you prefer the dress worn Olivia's or Blair's way?

What is She Wearing? Kate Middleton at the Order of the Garter

Kate Middleton is killing me lately. It seems like every time I blink she's out there waving in a new outfit. Not that I mind, really, it's just hard to catch up. And I thought those two crazy kids were supposed to be keeping a low profile? I can just imagine what it's going to be like when the Duchess visits Canada (they're estimating 40 outfits in 9 days).


But I digress, let's talk about Kate's dove grey coat and matching silk dress, which she wore to the Order of the Garter ceremony today. Both are by Katherine Hooker, the Buxton Dress (according to the designer it is "cut on the bias in Mercury crepe silk satin") and the Buxton Coat in Ash Simla silk. Kate's hat is from Rachel Trevor-Morgan Millinery.


Kate Middleton's grey suede pumps are the Malone by Rupert Sanderson. (Confirmed on the designer's Facebook).

What do you think of this outfit? Unfortunately, to me, it doesn't have the same style as that white McQueen coatdress. For more Kate Middleton / Duchess of Cambridge fashion click here.

What is She Wearing? Kate Middleton at Trooping the Colour, Prince Philip's Birthday & A Wedding

 I really don't know what this event is about, but I do know that I absolutely adore the white Alexander McQueen coatdress that Kate wore to the event. On a random note, the tartan blanket that Kate and Camilla shared in their carriage looked strangely like my high school kilt.

 Kate seems to be into a lot of white/cream recently.
Her black hat is by Sylvia Fletcher of James Lock and Co. [via]




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


In the afternoon Kate kept on the same black
Phillip Treacy hat while attending the wedding of
her friend Sam Waley-Cohen. [via]



Always frugal Kate has worn the black-and-white dress
 (which I believe is Zara) before to Boujis nightclub in 2007

Kate's carrying the same black Anya Hindmarch Maud clutch she did when meeting the Obamas and the Links of London earrings she wore to the ARK Gala. Oh, and Pippa, WTF? There is so much wrong going on there and too Mother of the Bride-ish. The jacket doesn't even look like it fits. Not the right outfit for a girl who is reportedly newly single (and who didn't see that one coming?) 


Princess Beatrice (with beau Dave Clark) also shopped her closet.
She was seen wearing the same hat and purple blazer in 2009.
I do like her glitter clutch. Photo: PopSugar


Kate recycled another frock at the celebration of Prince Philip's birthday party. This time it was her blue brocade coat by Jane Troughton, which was first seen at the 2009 wedding of Nicolas van Cutsem. [via]

The Duchess updated the look by wearing it with blue hat and a dress that looks like the blue Zara dress that Kate wore when departing from Buckingham Palace the day after her wedding.

Of course, Kate also wore her trusty nude L.K. Bennett pumps. Can I just say that while I like how Kate was able to make an old piece new I'm not really feeling this ensemble. The cornflower blue coat is a bit fussy for my taste and I'm not liking the hat very much. [via]

Later that night Kate wore a coral Stella McCartney that Madonna originally sported in 2008 at the amfAR Gala in Cannes, and which the Duchess bought at a Joseph sale prior to her wedding (according to Grazia, Kate bought the dress for  £305--it was originally £1425). While I love a bargain as much as the next girl I can't say I'm feeling this look. The wrinkles definitely don't help.


I do like it slightly better on Madonna.

What do you think of Kate's outfits?

What is She Wearing? Kate Middleton at the ARK Gala

First off, thanks so much for all the kind anniversary wishes yesterday. Time really does fly and I can't believe we've already been married four years and been together for nearly a decade. For those of you who have been married many, many more years than we have, I'm sure you can relate that married life sure is an adventure. Especially at times like these when we're living between two houses, knee deep in renovations with the finish line nearly in sight. It's been a stressful couple of months, but will be so worth it--or so I hope! And I know I've been bad about not posting house/reno pics but I hope to rectify that soon. Promise.

So back to Kate Middleton and the gorgeous, shimmery pink Jenny Packham gown she wore to the ARK Gala last night. Proof positive that the Duchess can do high fashion just as well as she does high street. I think this sophisticated, romantic choice was just perfect for Kate. Youthful, but elegant. I know I already did a Kate fashion post this week but the numbers seem to show that you enjoy these types of posts so I'll continue on until you beg me to stop!





Kate's ankle-strap shoes appear to be the Agata from fave L.K. Bennett and her pink satin clutch sure does look like this pink Prada box clutch, doesn't it?

I think princess-to-be Blair Waldorf would be thrilled that she beat Kate to the Packham punch, having worn a very similar sequin Jenny Packham gown to meet her own prince's mother.

Earlier Kate was spotted shopping at hat maker's Lock and Co. wearing a hot pink dress, black cardigan and her now standard wedge sandals.





I believe the fuchsia dress that features a round neckline and pin-tucked bodice is Issa's "Lucky" from 2008. Kate has been spotted wearing this dress many times in a variation of colours. The wedges are L.K. Bennett's Maddox and it looks like Kate was wearing her Links of London Hope Egg Earrings again too.

What Is She Wearing? Kate at the Epsom Derby


I have to admit that I'm strangely fascinated by Kate Middleton (and while I know she's officially Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, I think she'll likely be Kate Middleton to me for a long time to come). For some reason she strikes me as someone I'd like to be friends with--and she seems like a fun drunk. Plus, I'm always interested to see what she wears.

On the weekend the royal family turned out at the Epsom Derby to cheer on the Queen's horse, who came in third. Kate was turned out in a white blazer and floaty dress paired with nude platform pumps. For once her hair was up--and I have to say I'm a fan of this fascinator.

So, the million dollar question is...just what--or who--was Kate wearing?

The jacket looks like this Nessie tweed blazer by Joseph,
available for £460.00 at Selfridges.


Impossible to tell without seeing the top, but
Kate's floaty white dress looks like Reiss' Peacock style.


The Duchess' accessories are once again from L.K. Bennett.
Kate's taupe platform pumps are the Sledge2 Courts (£175.00).
Kate's straw bag is the Natalie Clutch (£140.00) and
her hat is from Whiteley.


Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie wore
polka dots and floral.

Sophie of Wessex had a pretty hat.


What do you think of the derby outfits?
