Elegant Cocktail Party Fashion Tips from Kate Middleton [PHOTOS]
See how easy it is to whip up a cocktail party outfit worthy of royalty
Kate Middleton has already proved that she is no spend-thrift when it comes to her clothes, and here are ways how any woman can dress like her for cocktail parties.
The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her regal fashion sense, especially when seen wearing refined cocktail dresses in elite affairs and gatherings. Some might be surprised to find out that the wife of the future king of England does not have a personal stylist, just like most women in the world. The Duchess' sensibility and practicality aren't just the only things that make her the "most relatable royal," but also the way she dresses. Known to repeat dresses for public parties in short periods of time, the Duchess is just like any girl who wants to look good under a budget.
Lace and Navy
The Duchess is known for her Erdem shift navy blue lace dress, but any woman can steal this look with a similar-colored tight dress with some lace decals. For starters, any plain navy dress would look great, especially when paired with nude heels and a matching clutch. A perfectly blow-dried hair is also essential, with a half ponytail and some dangling pearls to complete the royal look.
Pastels and Florals
Kate is no stranger to light-colored cocktail dresses. Not only does any lady look good on pastel hues, but there are literally thousands of pastel-colored dresses that can be shifted into a royal outfit. By simply adding expensive-looking jewelry, plain heels and a clutch, anyone can look like a jet setting princess just like Kate.
Most women are already into floral printed dresses, and choosing the right print is what makes the dress Kate-inspired. When she was younger, the Duchess loved bold prints. She toned down her preference when she made it to the spotlight, with lighter tones and matured aesthetics. Beige or nude floral above-the-knee dresses with a cap sleeves are perfect, along with black heels, a clutch, and sparkly earrings.
Whites and Statement Hair Accessories
No one can go wrong with a white cocktail dress, especially when worn with a striking, bold-colored accessory. The Duchess wowed the Canadian crowd with a white tight dress paired with a maple leaf spectator. If you're feeling too timid to wear a spectator hat, a floral head band or a flower clip on the side of a clean hair bun will work great.
