As far as fashionable years go, it’s been quite the landmark
rotation around the sun for
Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. It’s seems like every
week she pulls out all the stops from archives and new pieces
alike, never once missing the mark or with a hair out of place.
Of course, we’d expect nothing less from a member of the royal
family, but with Kate, it’s always a moment to remember. She is
always styled with a bit of a custom tailoring or a sentimental
flare (that we’ll get to down below), and it just leaves you
wanting more and more from the Duchess.
For 2021, it seems as though the two brands Middleton pulled
from the most were
Catherine Walker and
Alexander McQueen, which have long been a favorite for the
Duchess.
Here, we’ll take a look at Middleton’s best looks from 2021.
From the casual event to the red carpet gowns, we’re going to
unpack, analyze and identify all of our favorite looks.
