I have a girl crush on Kate. Sorry, Kate moss’ fans, I mean the Duchess of Cambridge. Probably I had my first son the same month Kate Middleton did, or probably every girl has a Cinderella’s dream.

She has the ability to make trends her own while being status-appropriate. This coat by Alexander McQueen is graceful and elegant yet trendy and flirty thanks to the fresh right-in color and peplum detail.

In Chinese: 我承认我是个凯特迷。凯特莫斯的粉丝们，对不起了，我指的是凯特王妃。可能因为我们在同一个月升级成了母亲，迎来了自己生命里的小王子，对她当母亲以后的生活就格外关注，更多可能因为每个女孩的心里多多少少都有个水晶鞋的梦想吧。

凯特王妃总是可以不露痕迹、用她的独特的凯特风格得体地展现流行风潮。比如这件来自王妃喜欢的品牌亚历山大·麦昆(Alexander McQueen) 的刍纱外套，经典的款式结合了当季最流行的颜色和女人味的荷叶边装饰，优雅又抢眼。

Tuxedo style in dress silhouette, tailored pants worn with a plunging top… there is something so chic and sexy about combining menswear elements with feminine pieces, killer shoes and eye-catching accessories. And when all in white, the result is even more striking and luxury.

In Chinese: 西装的廓形加上迷你裙的剪裁，直筒西裤配上抹胸束腰上衣…硬朗的男性化的元素和极富女人味的单品的组合总是令人眼前一亮，尤其当整身都是白色时，更显得典雅高贵。配饰的选择上也可以和这两种对比鲜明的风格进行呼应，比如性感的高跟鞋和庞克风的铆钉手包、华丽的水钻耳环和未来感的金属包的配搭等等。
