Kate Middleton Just Wore The Most Flattering Maternity Dress

Published on November 10, 2017. Updated August 27, 2019

Kate Middleton is the queen of making a simple piece look extravagant. She is an expert at choosing pieces that suit her body, even when she has a baby bump to work with!

Maternity dressing can definitely be tricky, especially as a public figure who has every outfit scrutinized, but the Duchess of Cambridge proved during her first two pregnancies that she’s up for the challenge. Expectant mothers should take a note or two about the latest outfit that Kate was spotted in! The royal opted for a shift-style dress that was the perfect cut to allow room for a baby bump. The simple, deep burgundy garment featured refined 3/4 length sleeves with a hint of nautical inspiration along the shoulder. It’s a piece she can totally grow into going forward into her pregnancy and is versatile enough to layer and use for multiple occasions.

For this public appearance at Place2Be’s School Leaders Forum, Kate wore the wine-colored dress with a pair of sheer black tights and simple black pumps. Into the colder months, we can totally see Kate styling this with a structured outerwear piece and knee-high boots.
