In honor of
Kate Middleton‘s 41st birthday on Jan. 9, we’re revisiting some
of her most iconic looks of all time.
Known for her exquisitely curated royal wardrobe, the Princess
of Wales has often paid homage to her late mother-in-law’s
inimitable legacy through sartorial expression. The Issa London
blue silk-jersey Sapphire London wrap dress that she wore to
officially announce her engagement to Prince William mirrored that
of the blue suit set adorned by Princess Diana for the very same
occasion. Similarly, the Princess opted for a Jenny Packham
polka-dot frock to present Prince George to the public after giving
birth, which echoed the green polka-dot ensemble worn by Diana to
present Prince William as a newborn.
The Princess also has a tendency to call upon her favorite
designers time and time again, and repeatedly wears Jenny Packham
and Alexander McQueen. Opting for streamlined and timeless looks,
the royal family member’s signature style is certainly fit for a
queen.
In celebration for the Princess’ 41st birthday, here are Kate
Middleton’s top style moments, bound to go down in royal family
history.
