Kate Middleton Shows Off Two Brilliant Peplum Looks - See Every Fashion Angle

Chi Diem Chau — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:34:32 PDT

Just days before celebrating her wedding anniversary to Prince William, Kate Middleton showed off her fashion savvy in Spring's hottest trend, wearing not one, but two brilliant peplum looks. Yesterday, Kate wore a dove gray peplum dress adorned with gorgeous beading embellishments by Matthew Williamson, paired with dark green suede pumps and a matching clutch at the UK premiere of African Cats. Kate then switched out of her fancy dress for a prim two-piece tweed suit by Rebecca Taylor for a royal reception at the Goldsmiths Hall in London honoring the Scott-Amundsen Centenary Race to the South Pole. We love how anyone can wear this look just as easily to the office. Meanwhile, blue suede pumps and an Anya Hindmarch snake skin clutch finish off her ensemble. Just click through to see more close-up shots from both of her peplum-fied looks and tell us which is your favorite in the comments section below.

Rebecca Taylor Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:15:38 PST

Rebecca's girl is both an homage to '90s grunge and a fresh-faced street-styler. The Fall collection marries the designer's signature sweet side with darker territory, at least where texture and color are concerned. Rebecca's palette is decidedly moody in deep brown, burgundy, and black on leather, herringbone, wool, and velvet layers. Then she counters with cool-girl silhouettes; layers are in perfect proportion - for every slick leather layer, there's also a sheer-chiffon sleeve, slinky sequins, or abstract print. There's a lightness to counter the severity of her colors; she still homes in on that girlie factor we love in a pretty peplum top, a sexier snake-print halter dress, or ultra-femme sheer pleats. Like front-rower Olivia Palermo, this girl is something of a mix-master who's got as much femininity as she does cool-girl edge.

Trends: Rich texture in leather, velvet, and jacquard; sequins, peplum, heavy layers, and exotic print.
Colors: Brown, gray, and black with just a pop of purple and blue.
Key Piece: We love the open sheer-chiffon pleats on the gorgeous full-length print dress; also the cool factor of a leopard coat done in ombre.
Accessories: Metallic ankle-strap heels, fur-adorned ankle boots, chain-strap crossbody bags, and oversize leather satchels.
Who Would Wear It: Street-chic celebs like Nicky Hilton would rock the moto-style jackets and edgy layers.

We've all got holiday dressing on our brain right now, so we couldn't help but notice that Kristin Cavallari's look from last night's Rebecca Taylor store opening would be equally fitting for one of our own seasonal fetes. With delicate ruffles and a rich holiday-hued palette, Kristin's little Rebecca Taylor dress feels perfectly festive, but it's not just a great dress that makes it all work. A dramatic deep rouge lip and face-framing waves amp up the glamour, while nude pumps and a coordinating clutch temper the style for a modern effect. Feeling inspired?

Who Wore It Better? Alexa and Kirsten in Rebecca Taylor's Pretty Floral Dress

Looks like two of our favorite style stars had their eyes on the same Fall frock. Alexa Chung and Kirsten Dunst both gave Rebecca Taylor's floral print chiffon dress ($425) their respective style spin. Alexa outfitted hers with a pair of the coveted sparkly Miu Miu booties for New York Fashion Week while Kirsten paired the dress with suede ankle boots and a blazer for a stroll around NYC's East Village.
