Kate Middleton's green dress wowed at her latest engagement and was in many ways a dramatic departure from her usual timelessly elegant style.
- The Duchess of Cambridge showcased her flair for fashion forward looks as she arrived at London’s Design Museum for a very special engagement.
- Kate Middleton opted for a green belted dress as she presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award to an emerging designer.
- This royal news comes as Prince William and Mel B's “mutual fangirling” at Buckingham Palace delighted royal fans.
As a senior member of the extended Royal Family, the Duchess of Cambridge arrived at London’s Design Museum on May 4th to undertake a very special engagement on behalf of the Queen. Back in 2018, the Queen made her first visit to London Fashion Week and the inaugural Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design was announced and presented.
Since then several other senior royals have presented the award and this year it was Kate Middleton who had the honor of naming Saul Nash as the 2022 winner. The award was started in recognition of the fashion industry’s role in society and in order to spotlight young talented designers who are making a difference either in terms of their sustainable practices or community engagement.
For this occasion Kate pulled out all the stops and the future Queen Consort, she put her best fashion foot forward with a stunning green dress...
The Duchess of Cambridge stunned in a textured bottle green-toned midi dress complete with a statement gold belt. The dress was designed by Canadian designer Edeline Lee and the eye-catching look included a high neckline and ¾ length sleeves. These were finished with tiny tie details that added a softness that contrasted excitingly with the bold metal of the waist belt.
Tying in Kate Middleton's green dress choice with her accessories, her large gold earrings might not have had the historic glamor of Queen Elizabeth’s tiaras but they certainly made a statement. They were reportedly designed by Nadia Irena and her deep emerald-green Emmy London heels and bag wonderfully complemented her dress.
RRP: $38.56 / £30.99 | Take Kate's stylish lead and draw attention to your waist through belts and gathered detailing. The ruching on this dress also makes it one of the most stylish dresses to hide a tummy.
RRP: $35.90 / £22.99 | Step into one of the biggest fashion color trends 2022 and embrace green hues. This easy-wear, green t-shirt dress with a ruched side has a flirty A-line fit. Pair with new season sandals, such as tan gladiators for instant style points.
RRP: £800 (international shipping available) | The exact match to Kate's dress, the bottle green dress features a high neck, dropped shoulders and a fit and flare skirt. Hand-crafted in England, the Duchess looked exceptional in this figure flattering frock.
Kate Middleton’s glossy hair was kept simple and straight rather than in her usual soft waves and she kept it back and cascading down her shoulders. Though the Duchess’ belted dress is undoubtedly beautiful it’s also all the more exciting given how different it is from many of Kate Middleton’s dresses fans have loved over the years.
Often the Duchess of Cambridge has stepped out in more formal, classic pieces, with a coat dress a firm favorite. In recent months Kate’s ethereal green dress on her and Prince William’s Caribbean tour and the beige jacket-style dress for Kate and Princess Anne’s joint engagement wowed fans.
Both have that timeless elegance to them in terms of that more traditional silhouette and design elements. In contrast, Kate Middleton’s green dress could be seen as a little more edgy and trend-led, whilst remaining in keeping with her often-seen color palette of green and blue shades.
The beautiful look was perfect for the significant occasion which saw Chief Executive, British Fashion Council (opens in new tab), Caroline Rush CBE describe Saul Nash as having a “unique way of combining function, tech and tailoring in his design practice”.
