The iconic dress that Princess Kate and her sister Pippa Middleton wore to their respective royal events has become a symbol of their fashion sense and style evolution. This dress, designed by UK brand Issa London, was a wrap dress with a pleated front, flared skirt, and ruched waist ties, and it quickly became a global sensation. The royal blue dress, which cost £430 at the time, sold out in over 42 countries after Kate wore it, and the same style in deep purple was worn by Kate during the Royal Tour of Canada in 2011. The dress was so popular that it put the label out of business due to extraordinary demand.
Pippa, following in her sister's footsteps, wore the same dress in a striking raspberry red shade to a wedding in 2012. The dress, although designed in bold, primary colors, is not something either woman would wear today as it was cut a few inches above the knee. Now in their forties, Kate and Pippa have chosen to don midi and maxi hemlines that dominate modern wardrobes.
The story of this iconic dress is a testament to the power of fashion and its ability to transcend time and trends. It also highlights the unique bond between the sisters, as they have both embraced their own style evolution while staying true to their iconic fashion choices. The dress has become a symbol of their shared journey and a reminder of the enduring impact of their royal fashion choices.
