Last May, Pippa Middleton stepped out with her husband on their honeymoon in Sydney wearing a Kate Spade dress!

9. Bella Thorne
Back in 2014, Bella Thorne stepped out wearing this bright pink Kate Spade number to the premiere of Winter’s Tale. Bella’s personal style has clearly shifted from that of this feminine, frothy dress to a more edgy look, but we definitely can still appreciate this sweet and girly fashion moment. The fit and color of this dress are truly iconic from the Kate Spade brand.

8. Millie Bobby Brown
Kate Spade is the perfect choice of brand for 14-year old actress Millie Bobby Brown, who quickly rose to fame with her role on Stranger Things. For a UNICEF 70th anniversary event in 2016, she donned a Kate Spade floor-sweeping number that featured a feminine floral print and black lace crochet detailing.

7. Freida Pinto
Actress Freida Pinto stepped out in 2015 for the Social Good Summit at 92Y wearing this Kate Spade top and skirt combo. The skirt rings true to Kate Spade’s brand with its feminine satin texture and bold print. We love that Pinto wore a simple pair of nude pumps to ensure her shoe didn’t detract from all the details of the skirt and added a bold punch of magenta on her lips for added glamour.

6. Ariel Winter
Modern Family actress Ariel Winter stepped out in 2014 at the Young Hollywood Awards wearing this bright and colorful Kate Spade floral dress. The look was seriously flattering and the statement red and pink tones flattered her raven colored locks and olive complexion flawlessly.

5. Janelle Monae
Janelle Monae is another actress who loves wearing Kate Spade and has done so for multiple red carpet appearances. This particular look from the 18th Annual Hollywood Film Awards was a Kate Spade shirt dress with a pussy bow detailing along the neck. The dress was quite sophisticated and feminine but Monae balanced it out by adding an edgy black fedora.

4. Mandy Moore
Mandy Moore is another star who has favored Kate Spade pieces over the years for her red carpet appearances. This particular cheetah look is from Kate Spade and featured a whimsical print, soft bow detailing along the neck and a cinched in belted waist. We love that Moore slicked her hair back and wore deeper shades of makeup for added edginess.

3. Ashley Benson
Former Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson is a fan of Kate Spade clothing and rocked this stunning piece from the brand for the 2017 CFDA awards. We love that this dress has the classic Kate Spade touch with its feminine floral print but is also nicely contrasted with black lace and crochet detailing to add a sultry, sexy vibe.

2. Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift was a huge Kate Spade fan during her early days on the red carpet! This particular striped Kate Spade dress she wore for the KIIS FM’S Jingle Ball in 2012. The look was super sweet and feminine, but she added her classic Taylor red lip to stay true to her personal style. The dress fit her like a glove and the black and white monochrome stripes looked both simple and romantic.

1. Kate Middleton
Even the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is a fan of Kate Spade and has been spotted multiple times wearing garments from the brand. This polka dot look is the last time the Duchess was spotted wearing the brand which was back in November 2017 for a visit to the Foundling Museum. Although the Kate Spade brand comes across youthful, it’s clear they have pieces that also work for sophisticated women. This particular dress featured a fun, whimsical polka dot print, but the muted maroon tone of the dress really balances it out and makes the print come across as professional.
