Kate Middleton Stuns in a Regal Gray Coat Dress, Inspired by Princess Diana

After a three-year hiatus, Kate Middleton embarked on a solo tour of Denmark, looking as regal as one would expect. The Duchess of Cambridge embraced one of her signature silhouettes for the second half of her last day: a double-breasted, knee-length gray coat dress by couture house Catherine Walker. Middleton accessorized her look with a black Mulberry bag, stylish leather gloves, Gianvito Rossi pointed-toe pumps, and pearls. Though the coat dress has almost become synonymous with Middleton, this particular outfit seems like a nod to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Indeed Middleton's silhouette is one that Princess Diana embraced over a decade ago. Many will recall the gray herringbone and velvet collar coat the Princess of Wales wore to the Barnabas Children's Charity in 2008. Lady Di styled it as a midi dress, layering it over a crisp white button-down shirt for a chic finish.

Middleton's admiration of her late mother-in-law is clear, as she wore a similar Diana-inspired look for her meeting with Queen Margrethe and Princess Mary. She also paid homage to Diana's legacy when she wore the Princess's jewels to capture her 40th birthday portrait.

The coat dress is a style Middleton wears often. On a visit to the Royal Opera House in 2019, she opted for a purple Oscar de la Renta coat dress. That same year in Scotland, she was spotted in a tartan Alexander McQueen coat with the Duke of Cambridge while visiting the Victoria & Albert Museum. When she joined Queen Elizabeth II on a visit to King's College in London, she sported a belted Catherine Walker gray coat dress, and the list goes on. A timeless coat dress is Middleton's secret to looking polished and regal.

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
