From color choices to wearing Diana's go-to designer, the duchess seems to be taking style cues from her late mother-in-law.
When it comes to her wardrobe for her royal tour in Pakistan alongside Prince William, Kate Middleton has been taking heed of the country’s Islamic customs and culture. Her floor-length, emerald green Jenny Packham gown worn Tuesday night, for instance, is said to be a nod to the Pakistan flag, while scarves and long, conservative tunics have been a mainstay.
On Monday, the royal flew into Islamabad in a blue ombré dress worn over matching pants, known as a traditional shalwar kameez. The bespoke look was designed by the fashion house set up by the late Catherine Walker — a British fashion icon famed for her work for Diana, who was buried in one of Walker’s designs — and seemed reminiscent of outfits worn by Diana during her own visits to Pakistan in the 1990s.
The Diana connection doesn’t end there. On Tuesday, Kate wore two outfits echoing the late princess’s Pakistan wardrobe.
