Kate Middleton: From Inappropriate Naked Moments To Her Most Daring And Best Looks, The Evolution Of The Duchess’ Style

Kate Middleton has been an iconic figure in the fashion world thanks to her usual prim and proper attire that complements the royal’s gorgeous physique. However, leading up to her days as the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate was caught suffering a few inappropriate wardrobe malfunctions, while she sported barely-there attire. Middleton, prior to becoming engaged to royalty, had royal watchers wondering if she would be able to tone down her risque and revealing ensemble choices and make the transition to becoming the respectable mother of two she is today.

Radar Online reminds of a few moments that would likely have made the Queen quite worried, prior to her grandson popping the question to Kate. The publication reminds of a tiny short and sequined top outfit that Middleton wore to a charity event involving disco rollerskating.

“Would The Queen approve? The mother-of-two left nothing to the imagination in super short shorts and a curve-hugging sequined top during a roller disco charity event in London.”

The Duchess also partook in a college fashion show that saw her wearing a completely sheer dress over top of her bra and underwear. Prince William and Duchess Kate did meet in college. Perhaps it was when William caught sight of Middleton in this ensemble during the fashion show that he knew she was the one.

“During a college fashion show, Middleton covered up her bra and panties in a completely see-through dress.”

Even since becoming a Duchess, Kate has suffered a few wardrobe malfunctions, flashing photographers her bare bottom and underwear by times due to awkward moments in the back seat of cars and those unfortunate incidents during walkabouts when gusts of wind catch her skirt. However, Kate has certainly come a long way in regards to her fashion choices and continues to step up her fashion game by being more daring in the right way.

Forbes magazine notes the spectacular transition Middleton has made from her time as a young “commoner.”

“[F]rom her ‘humble’ beginnings as a young ‘commoner’ with a generally demure – even at times a bit garish – style, she has evolved into a model of royal modernity and simple elegance seemingly impervious to a misstep and ready to make style statements and even take interesting fashion risks.”

There is a reason Kate has such an “effect” on the fashion industry. It’s due to her ability to match the perfect piece with subtle accessory and, additionally, she goes the extra mile when visiting new nations or people of a certain culture. The Duchess ensures to give a “nod” to those she interacts with by donning custom clothing that links to specific heritages and cultures.

Duchess Kate ensures to look immaculate on all occasions and knows by this point that she must be seeing that every outfit she dons is critiqued and analyzed from head to toe. The beauty continues to distance herself from her short shorts and her shimmering sheer blouses from her college days and instead presents herself in the most fashion-forward pieces from top designers around the globe. Most recently, Kate has upped the level of risque by stunning onlookers in a gorgeous body-hugging, cobalt blue Roland Mouret gown she wore in June at a gala charity dinner for SportsAid. As Forbes notes, Kate has “grown into her iconic role with an impeccable sense of discretion, modesty and good taste.”

And that “good taste” and “impeccable sense” of style has resulted in the “Kate Effect” phenomenon which sees designers capitalizing every time Middleton decides to garb herself in their pieces, whether clothing or accessories. The publication relays that the phenomenon is worth an estimated $1 billion to the fashion industry. Now, that’s one powerful effect.
