Kate Middleton was again in the spotlight and it eclipsed the United States first lady, Michelle Obama, during her official visit to Buckingham Palace.
Prince William’s wife was more elegant than Michelle Obama, although the dress she wore was significantly cheaper, writes dailymail.co.uk.
Kate Middleton wore a simple dress, made by the Reiss company worth only 175 British Pounds, while the first lady of the United States had an outfit created by designer Barbara Tfank, worth about £1,400.
The dress worn by the Duchess of Cambridge had such a big impact, that company’s website that sold it was blocked, and a store representative said it sold 20 dresses in just two minutes after Kate’s appearance. A company spokesman described that conduct as “Shola-mania”.
Shola type dresses have a square decolletage, a belt around the waist and asymmetrical lines.
Catherine Middleton has completed the outfit with a stylish handbag created by Anya Hindmarch Bespoke and wearing her hair loose.
U.S. President Barack Obama began Tuesday a visit in the UK by meeting with Prince William and his wife, before trying to revitalize the “special British-American relationship”.
