Kate Middleton wore a legendary designer in a new series of stunning new portraits for her 40th birthday
in black and white, staring off into the distance in an ethereal white gown, her hair gently waved and billowing. She wears pearl drop earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana. A second shows her in a striking red Alexander McQueen off-the-shoulder dress, smiling directly into the camera. Her earrings come from the collection of Queen Elizabeth. Meanwhile, a third serves as a more relaxed headshot in a ruffled white dress, again smiling.
It marks a notably glamorous moment for the Duchess, with the portraits reminiscent of Cecil Beaton’s fashionable, stylized official portraits of Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret throughout the 1950s. Her choice of McQueen is also a fitting one, as she notably wore the designer for her 2011 wedding to Prince William.Her jewelry serves as a touching tribute both to her husband’s late mother, as well as his grandmother, the Queen.
