Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton turns 35 on January 9, and she has much to celebrate. From being an advocate of mental health reform to championing popular parenting techniques, the Duchess brought a new sense of fandom to the gates of Buckingham Palace and her actual residence with Prince William and their two children George, 3, and Charlotte, 1, at Kensington Palace.
She is also known for her classic sense of style, even — especially — when she wears her best looks more than once. She wowed the world with her stunning Alexander McQueen wedding dress, and hasn’t stopped since. It seems that each time she sets foot in public, her clothes outdo her previous get-up. From Alexander McQueen to Jenny Packham and athleisure to ball gowns, Middleton hardly disappoints in her ensembles, leaving fans and followers perpetually envious.
While not everyone can afford a Dolce & Gabbana dress, Middleton relates to the common man — and woman — too. She’s been known to outfit repeat, a custom the rest of us mere mortals employ more often than not.
So in honor of her birthday, here’s a look at 10 of her best outfits.
