When it was announced that Kate Middleton was engaged to Prince William, the media kept emphasizing the fact that she was a commoner, and yet she was going to become part of British royalty. Being a commoner isn’t exactly the worst case scenario for the woman that would become the Duchess of Cambridge since she hailed from a prestigious, millionaire family. The public has completely embraced Kate Middleton and many have likened her to Princess Diana because of her incredible style and likability. She seemed like the perfect match for Prince William and the two have built an incredible family together.
In regards to Prince Harry, there has always been a bit of controversy surrounding him. From his over-the-top antics that have made it into the tabloids to his unwillingness to settle down, people wondered whether or not there would ever be another royal wedding for Prince William’s brother. Yet, his relationship with the actress, Meghan Markle, seems to have come as a huge surprise. Not only is she American but she’s also a divorcee and not exactly the fit mold for someone entering British royalty. Yet, people are starting to have high hopes for this new royal couple since she has been known to have a passion for philanthropic work and she has also been heralded for her incredible sense of style. Check out these Meghan Markle looks that resemble something Kate Middleton wore and see which one of them rocked it better before Markle finally makes it down the aisle with Prince Harry.
10. Patterned Skirts
Indulging in a bold pattern for an ensemble can be a bit tricky since it can sometimes be overpowering. Yet, both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle have proven that they know how to rock this look without looking like a curtain. Kate Middleton wore this white Goat blouse at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in 2016. The midi skirt was actually quite affordable since it was Banana Republic but she made it look absolutely stunning. Meghan Markle wore her similar look in 2014 when she appeared at the NBC/Universal 2014 TCA Winter Press Tour. She swapped out the flowing blouse with a steamy button-down top and her midi skirt was much more tight-fitting. Yet, both of these looks seemed to work on them since the pattern was just the right bit of pop.
9. Black Velvet
A huge trend in recent years has involved the use of velvet as a great texture quality to dresses and skirts. Kate Middleton wore it when she was photographed in this flowing black velvet gown with a sweetheart neckline. There were small ruffles along the neckline to draw extra attention to the neckline and a mermaid cut that was great for showing off her hourglass figure. Meghan Markle wore her take on the black velvet dress when she was photographed at the Anti-Defamation League’s Entertainment Industry Awards in 2011. While her dress didn’t have the same mermaid cut, the peplum style really drew attention to her amazing figure. It also had a sweetheart neckline but there was a mesh feature that was a great added touch. Yet, it was Middleton’s black velvet gown that definitely won this fashion face-off.
