Come and have a look at some of the most stunning dresses Kate Middleton has ever worn. These outfits will surely inspire you to dress up the next time you attend a party because, well, why not?
Royal Palace, Oslo – February 2018
Look at how regal she looks in that dress! The see-through, flowy cape subtly outlines her silhouette and makes her look like an absolute princess. This Alexander McQueen dress was worn when she visited the Royal Palace in Oslo.

The flowing pale pink dress is finished off with stunning, handmade embroideries. During the time the picture was taken, Kate was expecting her third child, Prince Louis. As you can see, the dress clearly highlighted her pregnancy glow which just made her look more stunning.
Tusk Trust Awards, London – September 2013
Who knew someone wearing a bejewelled dress would manage to look this classy and stunning? During the Tusk Trust Awards in September 2013, she decided to steal the spotlight with this Jenny Packham dress.

This isn’t the first time Kate wore a Jenny Packham dress. Rumours say Packham is one of Kate’s favourite designers. Paired with this sparkly dress are Jimmy Choo platform sandals in the same colour. Doesn’t she look like a star?
Mandela Movie Premiere, London – December 2013
This is one of Kate’s simpler looks. Yet, no matter how simple it looks, it still packs a punch. Paired with a black clutch, some black pumps, and a chunky necklace, she looked simple, sophisticated, and gorgeous!

She wore this dress to the premiere of the movie Mandela. However, this wasn’t the first time she wore it, nor is it the first time that she’s repeated some outfits she’s already worn. During the Thirty Club dinner in London back in May of 2012, she wore the same dress.
British Embassy, Paris – March 2017
Once again, the Duchess amazed us in the Jenny Packham dress. Kate treated us to another Jenny Packham creation when she decided to wear this ice blue gown for a gala dinner at the British Embassy in Paris back in March of 2017.

Like most Jenny Packham dresses, the embroideries were also done by hand. It seems like the Duchess of Cambridge wanted to honour the City of Lights with her dress because of how sparkly it looks. Once again, the dress just highlights Kate’s megawatt smile.
ARK Charity Gala, Kensington Palace – June 2011
The ARK Charity Gala was one of the first official events Kate attended since she married Prince William, and she certainly did not disappoint. We were serious when we said the Duchess of Cambridge likes Jenny Packham.

The Duchess decided to attend the event dressed in a shimmering pink dress paired with L.K. Bennett heels and a box clutch. As always, despite being dressed in a sparkly gown, Kate still managed to exude elegance and grace.
BAFTA, Los Angeles – July 2011
During the couple’s North American tour, they attended the BAFTA event in Los Angeles and shocked people. Kate wore a stunning lilac gown courtesy of Alexander McQueen. The flowy, floor-length gown certainly makes her look like a goddess.

She paired the dress off with a handbag and sandals that were both from Jimmy Choo. The subtle glitters on the belt and the handbag was the right touch she needed to make her look like a modern-day Aphrodite.
Bollywood Gala, Mumbai – April 2016
Back in April 2016, the royal couple toured India and Bhutan. This vibrant blue dress was what she wore for a Bollywood gala that was held in their honour. Can you guess who designed the dress? Yup, Jenny Packham!

Although the floor-length gown was designed by Packham, the intricate beading was done in India, as well as the cape that goes with it. The gorgeous earrings she’s wearing are by Indian jeweller Amrapali. She truly looks like a showstopper!
Queen’s Party, New Delhi – April 2016
This is another dress that we simply loved from their India and Bhutan tour. Kate wore this dress to the Queen’s 90th birthday party in New Delhi. The Alice Temperley outfit is actually a skirt paired with a matching crop top.

Kate wears the outfit so well you might not even notice that it’s not a dress. We have no other words for this outfit except classy and beautiful! Take a closer look at the embroidery in her dress, and you’ll see what we mean.
Tuvalu – September 2012
When the couple visited the tiny island of Tuvalu in 2012, the Duchess decided to wear another Alice Temperley dress that she paired off with a straw skirt over it. The visit was part of the 2012 Diamond Jubilee Royal Tour.

This outfit was definitely one of Kate’s best looks during the Jubilee tour. The outfit was absolutely suited to the occasion. Plus, the overskirt, the headwear, and the necklace certainly made a good match to the dress.
Archery Demonstration, Bhutan – April 2016
This outfit is one of the more intricate outfits the Duchess has worn. In it, you see the Duchess wearing a Paul & Joe embroidered tunic. However, underneath the tunic is a beautiful purple and blue skirt.

Apparently, the Kira-style fabric was handwoven by Mrs. Kelzang Wang Mo of Bhutan. One skirt can take five people more than three months to complete. Once it was done, it was shipped over to London to be tailored.
Dinner with King & Queen of Bhutan, Bhutan – April 2016
For their dinner with the King and Queen of Bhutan, Kate decided to dress up in this colourful Tory Burch Floral Mesh Dress. The look was finished off with an orange shawl and black strappy sandals.

Funnily enough, Drew Barrymore was seen wearing the same gown on the same night in another part of the world. Nevertheless, both ladies looked absolutely stunning in this colourful and festive dress.
Malaysian State Dinner, Malaysia – September 2012
This is one of our favourites because Kate looked chic and stunning in this low-cut custom-made Alexander McQueen dress. This elegant dress has a sheer overlay with gold embroidery all around it. Did you know the gown paid homage to the country?

As it turned out, the golden embroideries on the gown are that of a hibiscus, Malaysia’s national flower. She paired the look off with a Wilbur and Gussie clutch bag and jewellery from designer Catherine Zoraida.
BAFTA Awards, Los Angeles – February 2018
The 2018 BAFTA Awards happened during a political movement many of us may be all too familiar with: #MeToo. During the awards show, attendees chose to wear all-black to show support for the movement. Unfortunately, Kate was faced with a dilemma.

Making a political statement is against royal protocol, so Kate wasn’t free to show up wearing black. What did she do? She showed up in a dark green Jenny Packham gown paired with a black sash. Technically, she didn’t break protocol, but her outfit was enough to prove she wasn’t entirely apathetic.
The Portrait Gala, London – February 2014
At this point, we’ve lost count at how many Jenny Packham outfits the Duchess has. During the National Portrait Gallery’s annual The Portrait Gala, Kate stepped out of the car dressed in a navy-blue Jenny Packham dress.

Paired with the dress is Queen Elizabeth II’s Nizam of Hyderabad Cartier necklace. Do you see how chic the pairing makes her look? It seems the Duchess has slowly been granted access to some of the royal jewels.
The Portrait Gala, London – March 2017
In another appearance at the National Portrait Gallery three years later, Kate Middleton wows people with her long-sleeved green lace gown by Alice Temperley. She accessorized the look with earrings from Kiki McDonough.

Even when Kate decides to let her hair down, she still looks classy and regal. She even managed to make green a desirable colour! Remember, the next time you have your doubts about the colour green, just think of Kate and her gown.
Anna Freud NCCF Gala, Kensington Palace – November 2017
Kate has been the patron of the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families since early 2016. The NCCF is a charity focused on researching and providing training on how to support children’s mental health.

During this particular event, the Duchess showed up in a dress by Diane von Furstenberg. If you think this dress looks familiar, it’s because this was the same gown she wore for the Royal Variety Performance in November 2014. However, this time she had on a diamond quatrefoil bracelet, another piece of jewellery from the Queen’s collection.
Wedding Day, London – April 2011
Of course, who could forget her lovely gown on her wedding day? For her special day, she opted for a long-sleeved gown, courtesy of Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen. The dress is estimated to have cost £250,000!

Up close, the dress features embroidery that paid homage to the UK. It was embroidered with the national emblems of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, which are the roses, thistles, daffodils, and shamrocks, respectively.
Royal Variety Performance, London- November 2017
The Duchess stunned people at the Royal Variety Performance in a sparkly floor-length gown by Jenny Packham. The Royal Variety Performance is an annual event for the Royal Variety Charity that supports people who’ve done professional work in the entertainment industry who are now seeking help.

This iced blue dress is decorated with sequins and flowers. She also paired the look with a Jenny Packham clutch and Oscar de la Renta heels. Don’t you think she looks just like a Disney princess? *cough* Elsa *cough*
100 Women in Finance Gala, London – February 2019
Lastly, we have this adorable look from the 100 Women in Finance Gala. The Duchess stepped out in a rose-pink Gucci ball gown that, yet again, makes her look like a Disney princess. The dress was paired with a maroon belt and a maroon clutch.

We think, this time, the Duchess was trying to channel her inner Aurora in this iconic dress. Sadly, Prince William was not by her side that evening because he was busy cooking up a storm with The Passage, a homeless charity.
