The Duchess of Cambridge Actually Dresses Her Age in a Peplum Top and Midi-Skirt

In recent weeks, the Duchess of Cambridge’s baby bump has gotten noticeably more pronounced. With her changing body, Kate Middleton’s style has obviously changed as well.   

The 32-year-old royal, who reportedly has a new stylist, has been dressing more her age with help from Natasha Archer, a 27-year-old personal assistant at Kensington Palace. Typically seen wearing coat dresses and fascinators, Middleton has taken a turn toward more contemporary looks.

This marked shift was on display on Wednesday when she hosted the Place2Be Wellbeing in Schools Award at her home in London. Wearing a peplum top by Hobbs that seems inspired by Stella McCartney’s Fall 2011 dress that graced red carpets and magazine covers around the world. Paired with a metallic blue Jenny Packham skirt, a gold buckled belt, and chandelier earrings, Prince William’s wife looked every bit her very young age.
