It’s All About Kate

Unless you have been hibernating in a cave this winter, you know that the upcoming royal nuptials have made a huge impression on the European fashion eye. Even women across the pond are keeping a weather eye out for the state of Kate’s wardrobe. The bride-to-be is making a regal statement. Copy the look and feel like a princess.

Radiant Hair and Skin

Miss Middleton radiates health and vitality. Before you go out and spend money on fashion, spend a little time on the basics—your skin, your hair, and your eyes.

  • Going easy on the makeup means starting with healthy, clear skin. Take time to remove makeup and apply a good lotion before you go to bed. Eat healthy and get enough rest.
  • Kate’s long, beautiful hair radiates light as it moves. Invest in a good cut and make sure your hair looks and feels shiny and free of stiff residue or products.
  • Ditch the smoky eyed look if you are aiming for a regal appearance. Make your eyes the highlight of your face, not your eye makeup.

The Dress

The “engagement dress” is wildly popular. Even discount seller Tesco offered a copy (which quickly sold out) within days of the engagement announcement. Miss Middleton’s favorite designer label is Issa and this little dress is an Issa classic. Women can find similar dresses at all price marks. The bright blue dress flatters just about every figure type.  Back suede pumps complete the look.

Getting Kate’s look is easy if you think classic, English countryside for daytime and flowing, draped gowns for evening. Pair that with minimal makeup and glossy locks and you have the look everyone is talking about.
