Kate Middleton's dress

At a gala dinner hosted by Queen Elizabeth II, Kate Middleton wore this dress. I read that it is an amazing dress designed by Alexander McQueen but for me it is an awful dress. Magazines say that she looked like a princess but I look at the dress and it seems to be all wrinkled, badly designed and didn't fit her well. I would never wear this But it seems it is only me because everyone loves the dress. Is there someone here who shares my opinion? Would you wear this dress?

First of all, let's get it straight! Her name is neither 'Kate' nor 'Middleton'. She has always been 'Katherine' and doesn't like being called 'Kate' and, as a wife, she takes her husband's name and style and has relinquished her maiden name. As for the dress, what you refer to as 'wrinkles' is, I believe, called 'ruching' and the apparently random way in which the material is gathered is actually very carefully planned. The Duchess of Cambridge is very lucky (after bearing three children) to be able to wear a dress like this and I think that it not only suits her but is also very elegant, though I am not too sure about the rather wide shoulder straps. Would I wear this dress? Not in a million years (even if I could)! The Duchess, however, looks stunning in it!

It seems that you share the majority opinion. I agree that she has a beautiful figure but I just hate this dress no matter how much work it has on it and how much it worth.

It is a bit too long on the front.

@nela13 The long length behind is normal in very formal dresses, but the front is dangerous.

I share @owlwings opinion. This is an elegant dress, not easy to wear. The only thing I do not like are the too wide shoulder straps.

@nela13 The necklace is too big and the only accessory that I see is a yellow ribbon that she probably is obliged to wear and the tiara. Which other accessories do you see? I see no others.

I also think she has too many accessories for that dress, she almost like like a christmas tree with so many things.

@LadyDuck the necklace is too big and has earrings too. Yes, probably she was obliged to wear the tiara but the final result is not good at all.

I like the dress although it actually reminds me of some of the fashions my Barbie dolls wore. It is elegant and there is no way I could wear it now. At thirty something, I likely would have worn it if I had a fine occasion to attend.

It is for sure, but this dress is very badly designed.

The 'wrinkled' you are saying is a style actually and I think it is very hard to achieve because for one, you need the right fabric. The style is actually good and it fits the Duchess very nicely and elegantly though I think there are much more better and much suitable design for here. She is one fashionable woman and she is nice to dress with.

I have already seen her in more beautiful dresses, this one for me is a really bad choice, no matter if that style is difficult to achieve or if it was an expensive dress.

I am not a fan of this dress, and I do not think it looks good on her. I mean, she is still stunningly beautiful, but this dress just doesn't look very flattering on her.

The first thing that came into my mind when I saw the dress was it was awful. If I was a woman and somebody gave me that dress for nothing, I would not want it. Am I terrible for thinking that?

I love Alexander McQueen, but have seen prettier dresses. I don’t think it’s flattering in my opinion. The wrinkles are the part of the design and material, but I dislike those straps and how low the bodice goes. I had a strapless dress very similar, but the flare began slightly below the hips.

The wrinkle is the style of the gown. No, I wouldn't wear it, not because I don't like it, but I don't like the style. I guess that means I don't like it.
