The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, continues to wow us with her sartorial choices. She has always had impeccable style but there are times when her dress choices border on safe and boring.
The Duchess of Cambridge attends the ‘100 Women in Hedge Funds London Gala’ at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London on October 27, 2015
But this latest pick did not make us want to take a nap. The mother-of-two took a chance with this floor-grazing floral gown from Erdem.
Kate Middleton’s floor-grazing floral gown from Erdem
This Erdem “Alouette” tiered floral silk gown is a show-stopper, to be sure. It features a festive floral pattern with a red backdrop.
Her gown also has a modest neckline with a cinched waist that highlighted Kate’s trim figure. It flares delicately down the waist and stops mid-leg to make way for a pleated tier.
Kate’s hair isn’t doing her a huge favor
If there’s one bad thing we can say about this look, it’s that the Duchess of Cambridge should have gone with an updo. The hair isn’t doing her a huge favor, especially given the formality of the dress and her earrings.
What do you think of Kate’s Erdem gown? It’s still available if you feel like having a Duchess moment yourself.
