Princess Kate, known for her impeccable style, proved in 2016 that she’s not shy about drawing inspiration from Hollywood icons.
At a reception at Government House in Canada, she stepped out looking like Audrey Hepburn herself.
During the royal tour, which included Prince William, Prince George, and Princess Charlotte, Kate, now 43, wore a stunning red dress with a classic 1950s A-line silhouette.
The elegant Preen gown featured an asymmetrical square neckline, a fitted bodice, a cinched waist, and a voluminous skirt. The mid-length dress was part of a striking monochrome look, paired with red suede pumps and a metallic scarlet clutch.
Kate’s vintage-inspired hairstyle perfectly complemented the ensemble. She styled her brunette hair into a bouffant updo, which highlighted the unique neckline of her dress and showcased her elegant drop earrings.
Audrey Hepburn Inspiration
Audrey Hepburn, the iconic Old Hollywood star, made the A-line dress a signature of her style. She famously wore a similar fit-and-flare dress to the 1954 Oscars, and the silhouette became as synonymous with her personal style as with the characters she portrayed.
Audrey also embraced the all-red look, famously wearing a striking red outfit while descending the Daru Staircase at the Louvre in the 1957 film Funny Face, echoing Kate’s bold fashion choice.
