If there is one revelation to come from 2019 that’s provided us with a complete and utter sense of joy, it would be the epic transformation we’ve seen occur to Duchess Catherine’s heavenly wardrobe.
Indeed the stunning royal never fails to draw our gaze each and every time she steps out in public, and this year has proved to be no different.
In fact, 2019 has arguably been her most glorious yet as the 38-year-old has raised the bar several hundred metres higher when it comes to the fashion stakes.
The pictures certainly speak for themselves.
This year, we’ve seen Kate’s trendy-yet modest approach to dressing be turned on its head as the royal started donning items that, by comparison, were anything but traditional.
There were quirky customised recycled looks, a plethora of heavenly wide-legged pants, and how could we forget that purple Gucci blouse, which the Duchess famously wore back to front?
To celebrate our queen of chic, we decided to put all of her best looks of the year in one place – and mind there’s still a couple of months to go until we see the end of 2019, so expect more where this came from!
Keep scrolling as we celebrate the epic style transformation of Kate the great à la 2019.
