Kate Middleton Orders New Gowns from Alexander McQueen [PHOTOS]
The Duchess is set to make the Holidays a fashionable one by commissioning dresses from the high end fashion house.
The Duchess has a knack for buying clothes from the likes of Zara, but she made sure that she'll dress like a princess on Christmas Day by ordering ensembles from no less than Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen for the Holidays.
"Kate will need a casual outfit for breakfast, a smart outfit - and a hat - for the morning church service, a dress for lunch, a cocktail dress for early evening drinks and a full-length dress for the evening meal." claims a royal etiquette adviser to Grazia Magazine.
The Duchess is no stranger to the high fashion brand, with Sarah Burton, Alexander McQueen's design director, creating her much talked-about wedding gown. Since the Royal Wedding, Kate has been seen numerous times in many Alexander Mc Queen pieces.
One memorable look is the white and blue military-inspired coat The Duchess paired with a similarly-hued gallop spectator hat. Another one is the blue pencil shirt and white riveted, military silk Georgette blouse she donned in a public appearance.
There's also this belted lilac ball gown Middleton wore for the BAFTA for Brits event in Hollywood, an affair that was attended by heavy hitters such as Tom Hanks, Jennifer Lopez, and Nicole Kidman. The billowing silhouette of the dress truly made The Duchess look like a princess, which made her outshine some of the best-looking celebrities this world has ever known.
Another Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen dress is the sailor-inspired white dress Middleton wore during her North American trip, the same dress Hollywood fashion queen, Sarah Jessica Parker, wore for one of her premieres.
