Why Kate Middleton’s Style Has Made A Dramatic Change

With Kate Middleton, we are used to the ‘princessy’ kind of look as she waves in the ‘princessy’way. Now, the Dutchess of Cambridge is rocking the designer wear, showcasing a sleeker new look.

The rumours started when Middleton’s long term stylist Natasha Archer went on maternity leave in December. Then as the Duchess stepped out of her sartorial comfort zone the industry went into a mini meltdown.

The cat is now out of the bag now, Kate’s recent make-over is down to fashion consultant Ginnie Chadwyck-Healey.

36-year-old Ginnie, a former Vogue Executive Retail Editor, is said to be an old friend of the Duchess’ since their days at St Andrew’s and has stepped in to help.

Since working with Ginnie it’s fair to say Kate’s style has changed up a gear.

The Duchess hasn’t veered to far from her signature look but she’s widened her list of go-to designers and has updated her look.

And thanks to these subtle changes her image is looking more polished than ever, and Kate is exuding confidence as a result.

How has Kate Middleton’s style changed?

Up until now Kate has stuck to a tried and trust formula – that worked.

However over the past few months the Duchess has introduced some subtle changes the most noted departure being the Gucci blouse and wide leg trousers she wore on an outing to the Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre in Lambeth, South London.

Kate has also added a host of new labels to her wardrobe, attributing to her subtle style evolution.New looks from the likes of Sportmax, Missoni, Manu Atelier and Gucci have helped to revamp her look.

Kate’s choice of evening has also garnered high praise. The pale graduated pink Gucci gown she wore to a gala dinner at the Victoria & Albert museum in February was a dramatic departure from Kate’s usual style.
