Positively Blooming!

We sat, we gazed, we adored as Kate Middleton seamlessly paraded across London, pregnant with baby No.1 (gawks over the thought of Baby George!) back in 2012. We now replicate ourselves two years on, as Kate flawlessly executes her second bump in an even more stunning wardrobe! As if that would be even be possible, right?!

A pregnancy favourite of Kate’s has been Jenny Packham, and in one of her first appearances pregnant with baby number two she wore an elegant JP gown, dressed with simple pearlescent  accessories and heels – it almost seems a timely and honourable acknowledgment to the sweet swing dress made by the designer post George birth! Kate stayed loyal to her staple Issa-ish waist gather, and gleamed in her enviable frame. The bump was perhaps less visible, but what justice she did regardless! Very fresh, and very crisp for the wintry season ahead.

Another signature ‘Kate’ look was seen earlier this week at the Royal Welcoming Ceremony. Kate wore McQueen in the form of a single breasted, grey, Herringbone coat together with a Jane Taylor tear drop hat. Relentlessly smart, Kate showed little sign of a traumatic hospital experience prior as she looked a busy, vibrant and goal orientated woman – not to mention comfortable and as her bump rested calmly beneath the lashings of wool. I can only imagine how cosy that baby is!Alcoming Ceremony. Kate wore McQueen in the form of a single breasted, grey, Herringbone coat together with a Jane Taylor tear drop hat.

Last night we saw Kate’s pregnancy evening wear; and Alice Temperley was the magician of choice. The designer herself once cast Kate as ‘The perfect Modern Woman’, and so she was in a black, emblem flare dress. Temperley often creates more sophisticated black pieces, and a sweet alice band around the waist captured Kate’s stunning and evolving shape. The pattern, whilst very Azzedine Alaia esque, captured youth and taste. Something of a timeless ‘go to’ dress, I’m sure we’re bound to see Kate in this again, particularly due to its free flowing and unrestrictive nature; a pregnancy necessity!
