STYLE PROFILE: KATE MIDDLETON

Why I Love Her: My favourite thing about Kate Middleton's style is that it's elegant, classy and still wearable. As a former accessories buyer for British label Jigsaw, Middleton knows fashion. Always demure and appropriate, she manages to stay fashion-forward and interesting without showing too much skin. Moreover, Middleton isn't afraid to cross some of the stupider fashion lines - she wears the same clothes to multiple high-profile events, does her own hair and makeup and mixes designer pieces with high street stores. All in all, Middleton's style is polished and tailored whether she's in jeans or in a gown.

Best Style Moment: Between her stunning wedding dress and black velvet gala gown - both by McQueen - or the crisp jeans and blazer combo she wore on her Canadian tour, Middleton has no shortage of fabulous outfits to chose from. That being said, I think that the blue Zara dress, black blazer and LK Bennett wedges that she wore the day after her wedding comes in at the top of my list. Effortless, classy and elegant.

Worst Style Moment: While I understand that it's a royal statement, the morning coat dress is not my favourite. The periwinkle blue jacquard coat dress that she wore in 2009 and then again in 2011 is a good example.

Defining Style Attributes: Fitted skinny jeans (usually tailored a bit short), structured blazers, coat dresses, long-sleeved gowns and a-line dresses are among her favourites.
