Kate Middleton Looks Dowdy, Samantha Cameron Goes Glam

As we're focusing on the close of London Fashion Week, we can't help but take a look at what the royals and pols are wearing, specifically yesterday. There's no doubt that Kate Middleton can make almost anything work with her gorgeous smile and slim figure. But even pretty clothes-horses can look dowdy. Case in point: The brown princess-cut coat dress with the fuddy-duddy print that even a Princess like the Duchess of Cambridge can't pull off. Yes, Catherine looks like an old lady. There, I've said it, the pretty youthful Princess looks decades older than her years and rather stodgy to boot. While Samantha Cameron, wife of the Prime Minister, hosted a reception to celebrate London Fashion Week at 10 Downing Street for members

Kate Middleton wears a very Mad Men dress & makes it NOT look stuffy

Styling Tips how you can too... Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge stepped out solo last night in London for the opening of the Lucien Freud Portraits Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery. MORE: Kate Middleton Style  Her VERY 1950's Mad Men style dress referenced the open portrait shawl collar dresses that Queen Elizabeth wore in the 1950's. The full-skirt, elbow-length sleeves, and shawl collared styling of Kate Middleton's Jesire number, a High-Street brand that we aren't finding online, could be stuffy and downright dowdy if not worn the right way. Frankly, the obvious 1950's styling can look a bit too costumey and the Mad Man fashion moment is on the wane for copycat styling references. But, if you want to wear the look, here's

Banana Republic Clones “the” Kate Middleton Reiss Dress

Adventures in (not very) extremes... Remember the beige "Shola" Reiss dress that Kate Middleton wore to meet Michelle Obama? It's "the" $340 dress that stalled the Reiss server? Well, apparently Banana Republic didn't forget it and came out with their own version aptly named the "Kate Sheath" as imitation is surely the sincerest form of flattery. The BR version sells for $130. The Kate Sheath at Banana Republic SHOP: BEST DRESSESHonestly, Banana Republic is a fantastic resource for go-to modern basics so blatantly "reworking" a dress from Reiss, a very close competitor on the obtainable fashion front does seems strange. At least the dress fit Kate better than those pink pants on Pippa. We know, it's Kate Middleton's dress that they were

Kate Middleton stepped out for her first solo engagement as a royal yesterday and the blogosphere was aflutter about a perceived mark that was thought to be that of hair extensions. Instead, according to the dailymail.co.uk, "The spokesman for the Duchess at St James’s Palace confirmed last night that it was the result of surgery as a young child. ‘The scar related to a childhood operation,’ they said."

Kate Middleton Trumps Michelle Obama With Her Reiss Dress

One for the Brits, but the First Lady makes up for it later! Sorry folks, but I have to give this one to the other team. I'm afraid to say that Mrs. Obama's dainty print, retro full skirt Barbara Tfank dress reminds me of another First Lady, Mamie Eisenhower, and, in my opinion, is not flattering to this First Lady's statuesque frame. But then there's the clean chic style that Michelle Obama hallmarked, this time worn by Kate Middleton. After the satorial success of her wearing a Reiss dress for when her engagement was announced, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge selected another Reiss dress to meet President and Mrs. Obama at Buckingham Palace on the first day of the President and
