Style Icons of 2011: Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

If 2011 has been anyone's year, it has been Kate Middleton's. From THE dress of the year, to her love of a Jenny Packham sparkly gown, the new Duchess of Cambridge has won herself a legion of fans. The hair, the mixture of high-end high street with designer, and the winning smile have combined to create a style icon. My favourite looks have been, of course, The Wedding Dress, the Jenny Packham blush pink an sequin gown worn to the ARK Gala in June, the Alexander McQueen pale lavender gown she wore to a BAFTA event whilst on her and William's tour of America, and the silver Jenny Packham gown worn in November. Jenny Packham and Alexander McQueen seem to be Kate's favourite designers of 2011, and they're the perfect brands for a modern day Princess.
