The Kate effect strikes again! Both outfits worn by Catherine the Duchess of Cambridge during her first two appearances of 2015 have sold out!
During her first appearance on January 16, Catherine looked stunning in an elegant 60s style navy shift dress with embellished beaded edging, by UK maternity label Madderson. The dress was instantly snapped up by expectant mothers, who flocked to get their hands on the same dress as the Duchess. The $830 (£450) dress was soon sold out.
The duchess stepped out for a second time on January 17 showing off her growing bump in a $90 (£50) shirt dress from high street labels Hobbs. The dress instantly sold out in all sizes on the company’s UK website.
The label has become one of the 33-year-old’s favourites with the Duchess wearing a Hobbs polka-dot top during a reception at Kensington Palace in November.
The Duchess, who is six months pregnant, was visiting foster carers in North London to acknowledge the hard work they do.
“I’ve heard a huge amount about fostering,’ she told the delighted group. ‘It’s really great for me to have an opportunity to speak to you.”
The Duchess met with well-wishers before having a private meeting to discuss fostering issues.
“A visit from The Duchess helps to shine a spotlight on fostering and the need for more foster carers, particularly to look after teenagers, disabled children and groups of brothers and sisters,” Lucy Peake, director of development at The Fostering Network, said.
“We are very grateful to her for her interest, and know that the foster carers and care leavers attending our event today are excited to be sharing their experiences and stories with her.”
The Duchess showed off her growing baby bump in this Hobbs shirt dress which instantly sold out.
Duchess Catherine chats to some children at the event who were excited to meet here.
The Duchess teamed the snake-skin patterned dress with a black clutch and black pumps.
Duchess Catherine was smitten with these two little girls at the event.
Catherine’s dress by UK maternity label Madderson also sold out!
