10 Times Kate Middleton Ruled High Style

1 minute read

Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton turns 35 on January 9, and she has much to celebrate. From being an advocate of mental health reform to championing popular parenting techniques, the Duchess brought a new sense of fandom to the gates of Buckingham Palace and her actual residence with Prince William and their two children George, 3, and Charlotte, 1, at Kensington Palace.

She is also known for her classic sense of style, even — especially — when she wears her best looks more than once.
