OMG. Kate Middleton in a Christopher. Kane. Outfit? Of all the designers we've predicted the Duchess of Cambridge would wear for the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics 2012 (McQueen or McCartney were our safest bets), we'd never have thought she'd have the fashion gusto to plump for Christopher Kane. But it's true!
Of course, when K-Middy does Christopher Kane it means a softer, more feminine take on the Scot designer's edgy aesthetic. Instead of a see-through plastic cut-ou t frock or a black leather crop top, Princess Catherine has gone down the demure route with a silk coat dress in a ladylike shade of what we're calling eau de nil.
The long-sleeved number features pockets and a belted waist, which Kate has teamed with a nude clutch and matching heels. Doesn't she look glowy? As for her notorious mane, it's looking as glossy as ever thanks to those tumbling brunette curls.
It's a fitting ensemble for a meeting with America's First Lady Michelle Obama (aka: FLOTUS) who is in town for tonight's swanky reception hosted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace ahead of the extravagant Opening Ceremony.
Our good pals at What Kate Wore have noted that the Duchess' outfit looks remarkably like this design from the Resort 2013 collection, although less shiney. Could it be a bespoke creation that the lovely Christopher knocked up for her?
You'll remember it was back in 2010 that Mr Kane expressed his wish for Kate to better represent British designer labels. Speaking to WWD, he said: 'It’s a shame she doesn’t wear more designers. I don’t really like the high street getting so much of the credit. I understand that there would be an array because you need to relate to so many people in the market, but she is a princess. If I were a princess, I’d be like, "Oh yeah, bring it on."'
What do you make of the Kate in Kane? Let us know below and stay tuned as we bring you more pics of K-Midd and MObama throughout the evening...
