Kate Middleton’s Dress: Amanda Wakeley!

Oct 28, 2011 @ 3:30 pm

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge pulled from Amanda Wakeley’s previous collections to find the formal evening gown look she wore to an event honoring the Prince Charles-founded charity In Kind Direct in London this week. The British designer originally showed off the look as part of her fall 2006 collection, and sent it down the runway in a shade of pale ivory-yellow with black criss-crossing beaded straps. The update for the Duchess included changing the color to a shade of ice blue, adding silver beads rather than black, and moving the waist up to right beneath the bustline. Take a closer look at the dress in the gallery.

Stars like Hailee Steinfeld, Felicity Jones, Stacy Keibler, and Beyonce are embracing braids for fall and experimenting with a range of creative styles. “I was going to do a [braided] headband, but then I thought, ‘I have the hair to do it without the headband,’” Steinfeld told InStyle.com of the small hairline plait she wore to a Chanel dinner in Los Angeles last night. “I haven’t done anything like this before—I love it!” Meanwhile, hairstylist Marcus Francis gave Like Crazy star Felicity Jones a roughed-up, fishtail braid earlier this week. “I loosened the braid by gently pulling apart each side to widen it and bring out the flyaways,” he told us. “It helps to soften a structured look.” A cascading braid like Keibler’s is ideal for formal events, while a simple side braid like Beyonce’s is always classic and ultra easy.
