Understandably, the allure of Kate Middleton is that of a fairytale. A common girl marries a Prince. She wowed us all with her Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton wedding confection, and subsequent appearances in Erdem and McQueen. But this Stella McCartney shift dress, worn recently to celebrate the upcoming Olympic Games, is just a shame. Of all of the options in Ms. McCartney's stellar spring collection, how was this ill fitting frock deemed appropriate for the princess?
Applause on the new Pradas, these are a sublime improvement over the L.K. Bennet nude heels that are so often worn. But, satin? Patent leather may have been a better option here. Lastly, the necklace, was this an after-thought? It resembles something grandmothers wear to hang their glasses from.
Do not be afraid to look good! Channel the ring on your left finger, embrace your youth and take risks. Leave the matron look to the Queen. London is a mecca for emerging designers right now - Antonio Berrardi, Peter Piloto, Christopher Kane, Mary Katrantzou, etc. Be interesting, take advantage of your surroundings, leave your mark!
