We've known for a long time that Kate Middleton * exactly * knows what she's doing when it comes to "elegant looks". Now she's hit the nail on the head again. This look is perfect for Christmas!

Current trends? Do not care about Duchess Kate. She loves elegant, feminine looks that fit her like a glove. What is almost a bit bland to us during the year is now just right for us at Christmas. And because this year big Christmas parties also fall flat with the Royals, let's take a look at their timeless look from last year.
Kate Middleton hit the style nail on the head again. At a reception at Buckingham Palace. Her glittering tiara was fancy, but what really blew us away with the look was her dress - or rather the fabric of her dress.
The Duchess wore a stunning floor-length dress with long sleeves, shoulder pads and a soft V-neck. The designer? Alexander McQueen. One of her favorites. The fabric? Not a stranger either. Anyone who has observed Kate's style for a long time knows that she always likes to fall back on velvety fabrics. Sometimes in the form of accessories or headbands.
