The Duchess of Cambridge's sophisticated style [1] hasn't changed too much since she became a royal. Year after year, she still opts for go-to designers [2] such as Catherine Walker and Alexander McQueen. She won't trade in her Gianvito Rossi pumps [3] (or Penelope Chilvers boots [4]) for anything. And, she'll continue to recycle her maternity looks [5] as she has throughout her third pregnancy [6].
Kate's expected to give birth [7] in April and will likely disappear from the public eye to care for her new child.
