Princess Kate is being celebrated around the globe as she celebrates her 43rd birthday today. The Princess of Wales is a recognised fashion icon and rarely puts a foot wrong.
Last year Kate was diagnosed with an unspecified cancer and was underwent preventative chemotherapy treatment. Despite announcing she got the all-clear, she is making a gradual return to work and will be celebrating her birthday behind closed doors.
This celebratory milestone of Her Royal Highness heading into her mid-forties also marks 15 years of her life being on public display. The ordinary Bucklebury woman got engaged to Prince William back in 2010 and has led quite the fairytale.
From tying the knot in a star-studded ceremony and being transported by a horse-drawn carriage to lavish events and wearing tiaras, she often wows onlookers. Meanwhile, she has also managed to win the hearts of the nation through her dedicated work for many charities and organisations.
Whether you are a royalist or a person who has a keen eye for fashion, you cannot deny her timeless taste and elegant ensembles. Being a firm member of the Royal Family the Princess has worn some show-stopping ensembles, and Express.co.uk has ranked her best looks.
The Princess of Wales looked stunning when she stepped out in a tulle Gucci dress when she attended the 100 Women In Finance Gala Dinner.
The floor-length, A-line dress was made of blush and mauve colours which made her stand out from the crowd. It featured a velvet waistband which cinched her in at the waist and flowed into a chiffon skirt.

The Princess of Wales is renowned for re-wearing garments after being conscious of sustainable fashion. She also upcycles designs to feature the latest trends and did this just weeks back in December.
Kate decided to add a stunning black bow to her coat which showed she has a keen eye for fashion and takes note of popular designs.
In 2020 she donned a white and gold Alexander McQueen dress which she was spotted in over eight years before during a trip to Malaysia.
What stood out was her glittering accessories that matched the dress perfectly – her earrings and a necklace by Van Cleef and Arpels, were worth over £15,000.

Kate made a bold statement when she attended Royal Ascot as she donned a timeless polka dot dress which was created by Alessandra Rich.
The designer was heard saying in an interview at the time, “She looked so beautiful. It was a crepe de chin, with an asymmetrical hem—she was like light in it, she looked amazing.”
She also paid a sweet tribute to Princess Diana and stunned in the pearl and diamond drop earrings. The Princess wore this exact look a year later at the Order of the Garter.

Princess Kate wore a white Jenny Packham dress with black-and-white detailing when she attended Trooping the Colour in 2024 – at the time this was one of the biggest patterns of the year.
She paired the design with a wide-brim hat by Philip Treacy, White pearl earrings by Cassandra Goad, White Jimmy Choo shoes, and A Mulberry clutch.
Kate had worn the dress before – but she updated it with a black-and-white-striped belt and a bow.
