Kate Middleton’s Worst Style Moments

While Princess Catherine has often been praised for many of her outfits, there have also been a few occasions where her outfits haven’t quite hit the mark.

During a 2007 visit to the Cheltenham races, Catherine opted for a green tweed outfit from designer Katherine Hooker, according to OK! Magazine. While the tweed meant she fit in perfectly, the skirt length made her appear shorter than she was and was a weird fit on her waistline. 

During a trip to Oslo, Norway, in February 2018, when she was seven months pregnant, Kate opted for a pale pink, flowy dress made by Alexander McQueen, according to Vanity Fair. However, the dress didn’t quite suit her frame, and the color of her dress washed out her already pale skin. 

While on the 2018 Scandinavia tour in Sweden, Kate wore a floral blue Erdem dress, according to People. The pattern of the dress was a bit too much, and the dress didn’t flatter her figure like some of her other outfits had. 

Where the jacket finishes, it gives an overall odd look to the outfit and makes it look a little bulky. The dress, which came from Self-Portrait according to Kate Middleton Style, is a nice color but the wrong length for Kate, and would have looked better if it were a bit shorter. 

The dress in question was black with floral detailing. The floral patterns came in different sizes and would have been better if they were all one size. The dress was made by Alexander McQueen, according to Good Housekeeping, and the bottom of the dress was not flattering on her figure. 

According to What Kate Wore, she wore a paisley print Ridley London dress. Although the dress wasn’t the most offensive item she’d worn, it did look like she was wearing some old-fashioned curtains and wasn’t the most flattering on her figure. 

In 2019, she wore a light blue Ellie Saab dress, according to Kate Middleton Style. While the color suited her, it’s the style of dress, in particular the bow, that lets her down, as it makes her look older than she is. 

According to Kate Middleton Style, she was wearing a gray lace overcoat by Erdem which felt more like something an older member of the royal family would wear than a younger member, and the bulky look made Kate appear older than she is. 

Made by one of her favorite designers, Alexander McQueen, this black lace dress isn’t her worst dress by any means (via Kate Middleton Style). However, the puffed shoulders age the dress, and the neckline doesn’t flatter Kate. 

While the color and print of this Beulah London dress, suit Kate, the sleeves are the issue (via Kate Middleton Style). They puff out too much at the top and are too clingy at the bottom, and the sleeves’ cutoff makes them look too short and doesn’t flatter the princess. 

The Mulberry dress was green and whilst a nice color, was a bit too bold for Kate. It also looked slightly heavy on top, and as a result, was not at all flattering on her figure. 

The dress in question made history as she wore it during a charity fashion show in 2002 at St. Andrews University, and that is when William, who was sitting in the front row, first realized his feelings for Kate. However, it’s not exactly the most stunning of dresses, with its sheer nature and overall design.
