Another year has come and gone and while 2016 had its highs and lows, it was a great year for fashion.
Leading the charge in turning every outing into a high-fashion moment was Kate Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge was officially given a title in 2011 when she married Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. Being a member of the British royal family carries with it a certain weight to act a certain way, align yourself with specific values and look good at all times — something Kate, 34, makes light work of day in and day out.
Whether she’s hitting the park with children Prince George and Princess Charlotte, or traveling with her husband or attending high profile events, the duchess is always among the best dressed. Her outfits continue to sell out online after she’s photographed wearing them and we don’t see that changing anytime soon.
Kate is the queen of fashion so let’s celebrate her many great looks with a trip down memory lane. Above are her best looks of 2016.
