Kate Middleton's Style: You Don't Have to Be a Royal to Dress Like a Princess
Kate Middleton's style can be yours for a fraction of the original cost.
March 24, 2011 — -- Kate Middleton's fashion choices have created shopping frenzies everywhere since her engagement to Prince William.
From her now-iconic blue Issa dress to a Burberry trench coat that sold out in hours, the world is paying close attention to the future princess and her style picks.
But you don't have to have a royal budget to copy her looks.
Lori Bergamotto of Lucky magazine appeared on "Good Morning America" today to show you how you can get Middleton's style for less.
Blue Engagement Dress
The blue Issa dress cost more than $600. It had sold out 24 hours after Middleton wore it to her engagement announcement at St. James's Palace in London.
For Less: Get this look-alike dress from Max Studio for $29.99 at Marshalls.
Pair it with black pumps from Forever 21 for $19.80 and a ring from R.J. Graziano for HSN.com at $29.99
Casual Countryside
This look has some of Middleton's favorites: a tweed jacket, a structured beret and knee-high suede boots.
For Less: Cotton-linen blend blazer from Anthropologie, $98; black suede boots from Amiclubwear for $26; beret from American Apparel for $24; printed paisley scarf from Echo, $88.
Engagement bauble, $22, from Kohl's.
The Red Suit
Middleton was seen wearing the Luisa Spagnoli suit, which costs about $800, for an appearance at St. Andrew's University.
For Less: Bold red blazer, $34.95 from H&M; black skirt from Calvin Klein, $29,99 at T.J. Maxx; Style & Co. black clutch, $24.98 from Macy's.
Burberry Trench Coat
Middleton was spotted wearing it a few weeks ago in Belfast and it sold out hours afterward. Hers sells for about $1,000.
For Less: Topshop khaki trench, $180. It cinches at the waist and echoes the same skirt detailing as Middleton's original, making it very feminine and very polished. It's a shade or so darker than her coat but more realistic for a non-royal because it doesn't show all the daily wear and tear as easily as a lighter shade would, Bergamotto said. This ring in this look is from QVC and costs $39.54.
