The Prince and Princess of Wales recently welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte to the UK for their three-day state visit, and Kate made quite the sartorial statement in a full Dior ensemble.
While there was much talk about her jacket, a modern reinterpretation of the iconic 1947 original by Christian Dior, reimagined by Maria Grazia Chiuri, it was the Princess of Wales' skirt that really got my attention.
Not since Carrie Bradshaw pranced around New York in the original Sex and the City series have I found myself coveting a blush tulle skirt this much. Rather than looking overly flouncy, Kate's is pretty and demure – balanced perfectly by the sharp tailoring and nipped-in waist of her jacket.
While perenially elegant, tulle is also a hot trend right now, seen on fashion runways from Chanel to Simone Rocha. If you don't have several thousand pounds to copy Kate's Dior number, there are lots of tulle skirts on the high street, which mean you can channel that chic, feminine look without breaking the bank.
As for how to style tulle skirts, the key – as the Princess of Wales has demonstrated – is balance. So, if you've got a frothy tulle number on the bottom half, keep it simple up top: a plain, crew-neck T-shirt, simple blazer or white blouse will do the job.
