C ould it be that Kate Middleton is having a global impact on fashion? Yes, we Brit girls hang on every thread she wears but at last week’s Met Gala in New York it seems the Middleton Effect had hit the A-list. Like Kate all the stars had opted for more demure styles; there were no navel-grazing necklines, no bare shoulders or backless looks… In fact we’d wager that thanks to Kate the high-neck covered up, yet still achingly gorgeous look is de riguer.

Just take Kate’s style at the recent Thirty Club dinner at Claridges. Just over a year after her wedding we once again saw Kate in white and although the floor-length Roland Mouret gown was undoubtedly a scene-stealer it was full length with only the merest glimpse at a bit of leg.

If you want to steal her style – and why on earth wouldn’t you – then Gorgeous Couture have just the thing to mimic Kate’s style with your own little twist. The Anna Maxi dress, £174 can be made via the Made to Measure service so that it’ll fit you just as perfectly as Kate’s fitted her. Whether you opt for a champagne shade like Kate or an eye-catching red you’ll be on trend and perfectly demure.

Make a style statement at a summer wedding with this dress in Sapphire, or for a wardrobe classic that you’ll wear time and time again, Black could be the ticket to having the dress for every occasion.
