Kate Middleton's fashion hits and misses in pictures

No wonder this Joseph “Vanessa” dress sold out within eight minutes after being identified as Kate’s choice – it’s the ultimate failsafe number without any of the fussy, ageing accoutrements.
According to Fashion Telegraph.co.uk...this pictures shows her fashion hits and misses...Do you agree? well see more pictures bellow.

On her first ever offical public engagement in Anglesey, Kate played it safe with a tried-and-tested Katherine Hooker coat, an item she purchased and wore to Cheltenham Gold Cup five years earlier. Kate needn’t have bothered getting the hem taken up: while she took a few inches off the length, she added several years to her frame. No wonder this Joseph “Vanessa” dress sold out within eight minutes after being identified as Kate’s choice – it’s the ultimate failsafe number without any of the fussy, ageing accoutrements. Kate steps dangerously close to Princess Anne territory with this Catherine Walker coatdress to depart from her soujourn in Canada. Let’s pray this look got left behind in the hotel… Considered to be Kate’s “Going away” outfit (well, there was a helicopter at Buckingham Palace waiting to whisk her and her new hubby away somewhere remote) she looked at ease in this purse-friendly Zara dress. Kate won the admiration of the fashion pack when she picked this lace gown by London Fashion Week designer Erdem as she touched down in Canada. The revered designer - Erdem Moralioglu - was born in Montreal. Top marks to Kate for the patriotic nod - and the dress is lovely too. imageimageThere’s nothing to be achieved from dressing like your mother-in-law... take this photograph as the case in point. One almost has to play spot the difference between the Duchesses of Corwall and Cambridge. It was the most secret dress of the decade, with daily speculation as to who has been given the ultimate commission played out like a game of ‘Whodunnit?’. Once finally revealed, the gown did not disappoint. Painstakingly masterminded by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen, Kate was the fairest of them all.While Kate’s magnificent Alexander McQueen wedding dress hit all the right notes, her ‘after-party’ ensemble lacked a certain clout. Her cropped mohair cardigan looked like it came off the back of one of the young bridesmaids – which is fine when you’re aged 8, but not 29. Her relationship with label Alexander McQueen has become a fruitful one: Kate positively shone at the BAFTA celebrations in Los Angeles in this pale lilac gown. While Hollywood swooned, Kate’s star eclipsed even the most noble of A-listers – actress Nicole Kidman managed to look like she needed a heavy dose of Photoshop when pictured next to Kate. Flying the flag for British fashion - Kate’s ruffled hem caught the attention of seasoned style observers – who were quick to pick up on her off-the-peg Burberry trench. So good she wore it twice? Sadly not. Kate’s sartorial blind spot seems to be this instantly-ageing blue brocade dresscoat. Whether it’s the Duke of Edinburgh's 90th birthday or a close friend’s wedding, the coat can rise to the occasion… or at least that’s what the Duchess thought... Tennis, Temperley, tiered: Kate’s white dress was perfect for an afternoon at Wimbledon in more ways than one. While the official visit to Canada and North America was full of wardrobe highs, a few horrors found their way into Kate’s suitcase. Remember this over-patriotic fascinator...? Red and adorned with Maple leaves, it looked like a homemade horror. Navy is a colour which suits Kate and this military dress coat by Alexander MQueen hit all the right notes. Minus points for the fascinator though which instantly aged her. Another Jenny Packham dress, and another Stateside success story. Simple, elegant, chic: Kate nails her ‘dressing in the community’ look in this Amanda Wakeley design as she visits The Royal Marsden Hospital in Sutton, Surrey. Arriving at Heathrow Airport, Kate could have been taken for someone from BA Cabin Crew – but her Muberry 'Polly Push' bag, Smythe blazer, Roland Mouret dress and Manolo Blahnik shoes ensured she was the best-dressed on the runway. For a trip to the Dulwich Picture Gallery in South London for a Prince's Foundation for Children and the Arts event, Kate hit a fashionable high note in a chic grey Orla Kiely grey wool dress with a pleated full skirt, and simple black pumps. Kate Middleton's fashion hits and misses in picturesLooking a million dollars to mingle with society’s finest, Kate demonstrated her high-low approach to dressing with a dress worth £3,835 by London Fashion Week designer Jenny Packham, paired with £175 shoes by LK Bennett. For a trip to Fortnum & Masons with the Queen and Duchess of Cornwall, Kate chose a petrol blue tweed coat by Italian label MIssoni: departure from her favourite home-grown brands, but when she looks this pretty, what does it matter?Jenny Packham and the Duchess prove to be a match made in sartorial heaven. Pastel yellow isn’t a colour we’ve seen Kate in before, but it’s definitely one we encourage her to experiment with further. British designer Amanda Wakeley is the creator of this elegant shift dress which the Duchess wore to the launch of the Imperial War Museum Foundation's First World War Galleries: Centenary Campaign. 
She may be a Duchess but when it comes to recycling Catherine is Queen. To attend the UK's Creative Industries Reception at Royal Academy of Arts she wore the dove grey Roksanda Ilincic that she previously sported during her tour of North America last year. She paired it with cream shoes and a clutch and the same Kiki McDonough she chose to wear to attend the Olympics Opening Ceremony. For the Sports Project launch at Bacon's College, Greenwich, Kate opted for a chic and summery belted, check-print dress from high street label, Hobbs. Called upon to kick a football around, it's a good job she teamed the look with wedges, not heels. Catherine took in the men's Wimbledon final looking demure in a pale pink dress and cream jacket by Joseph, both of which she had worn on previous occassions, accessorised with a leopard-print Diane von Furstenberg clutch and her favourite nude LK Bennett heels (yes, again). Her younger sister, Pippa, looked less so in a printed Project D peplum dress and ill-matched black patent LK Bennett (who else?) wedged courts. Stella McCartney was The Duchess's designer of choice for a visit to London's National Portrait Gallery for the opening of the 'Road to 2012: Aiming High' exhibition. The bright blue tunic was from the designer's autumn 2012 collection. It’s sweet how Kate feels the need to dress like a competitor as she goes to attend the 2012 Games, but either the perennial blow-dry jars with this sporty look. What’s wrong with a blouse, jeans and ballet pumps? imageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimageimage
