A lot of people see Kate Middleton as a fashion icon. Although it was never a goal for the Duchess of Cambridge to attract the public with her ensembles, it is hard not to notice her style.
What made Kate Middleton different from other fashion icons, however, is the fact that she is not afraid to break the rules. Celebrities and social media influencers wouldn’t be caught dead wearing an outfit more than once, but the Duchess of Cambridge is known for recycling her clothes, making people love her even more.
With that said, it’s quite evident that when Kate Middleton likes something, she would wear it again — brand new in a different color or reusing what she already had. In fact, during the Festival of Remembrance, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a thrifty accessory that has become her signature look.
Kate Middleton wore a simple yet elegant navy dress at the event. It featured a bateau neckline that flaunted her shoulders and collarbone. The Duchess of Cambridge managed to turn her plain look into something more trendy by adding a simple headband.
Prince William’s wife had been spotted numerous times wearing a headband, whether it be to a royal event or her personal activities. With Kate Middleton being a trendsetter, headbands quickly became a thing.
A lot of people thought that headbands are quite hard to pull off as many believe that they are mostly worn by kids. However, Kate Middleton proved to everyone that headbands can be a great accessory for any kind of event.
Being a fashion icon, trendsetter, and a style influencer is tough. You need to wear something that people find unique and extraordinary, but they have to see it as something easy and relatable at the same time. But for Kate Middleton, she’s just an effortless icon. Whatever she wears, people are always in awe.
Although Kate Middleton is mostly praised for her outfits, this time her accessory got the spotlight. What made it interesting is its easy availability for everyone. Also, there are a lot of cheaper options out there if one would like to channel their inner Kate.
As for Queen Elizabeth, she has her style as well, and it seems that Kate Middleton followed Her Majesty’s footsteps when it comes to recycling clothes. "As new outfits are designed for the Queen, any fur used will be fake,” a Buckingham Palace spokesperson said. “The Queen will continue to re-wear existing outfits in her wardrobe.”
