Going back in time to 2010, we remember the moment Kate Middleton showed us her dazzling sapphire engagement ring. Since then she has not stopped occupying us with her stylistic choices. Having entered a world full of black tie balls, international tours and ceremonies, the Princess of Wales had to quickly build a wardrobe that would perfectly match the demands of her new role and her public appearances.
So in the years that followed, Kate Middleton has made countless impressive appearances , but undoubtedly the most attention has been gathered by her collection of dresses. From Alexander McQueen and Erdem, to Roksanda and The Vampire’s Wife, Kate’s high-fashion dress moments have made history.
Because Kate Middleton’s dresses will always be the inspo for our elegant looks, we’ve compiled a list of the 16 dresses that stood out in her 13 years as a member of the royal family.
