35 Times the Princess of Wales Proved That Royalty Has Style
It's been nearly a decade since Kate Middleton entered Westminster Abbey in an Alexander McQueen wedding dress, emerging as the Princess of Wales that we have since all fallen in love with. Whether the mother of three is doing charity work or dropping her children off for their first day of school, Middleton always seems to be wearing the best outfits. The public has been obsessed with the Princess's style, the way she recycles gowns, and chooses ethically conscious brands - and we can't blame them. The Princess has been chic and the ultimate royal style inspiration for years and believe us when we say this year wasn't any different.
The Royal Ascot
One of the royal family's annual traditions is the Royal Ascot, a racecourse located in Ascot, Berkshire, London, used for thoroughbred horse racing. The Princess of Wales's Ascot dress was light-blue and was designed by Elie Saab and was gorgeously detailed, from the sheer sleeves to the tiny polka dots.
She paired the dress perfectly with a powder-blue hat by Philip Treacy topped off with the floral design. Fans noticed that the Princess and the Queen were matching for the event, who was also wearing blue and a floral hat.
