How to Dress Like Kate Middleton On a Dime
Kate Middleton has made fashion headlines ever since she walked down the aisle in a designer wedding gown to say "I do" to her prince, Prince William. This Sunday will mark the couple's one-year wedding anniversary and the frenzy over Middleton's glamorous look and stylish fashion choices is as strong as ever.
Luckily for commoners who admire the Duchess's style, there are ways to achieve her royal look on an everyday budget. Middleton, 30, is known for combining high-end fashion, like the Matthew Williamson-designed dress she wore on the red carpet this week, with finds picked up from her own shopping trips to retail stores like Topshop.
