As one of the most talked about and photographed women in the world, this Halloween costume will definitely get you some serious attention. The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her chic-yet-relatable style, which makes dressing the part a little bit like mastering a uniform: dress + sensible shoes + perfect, bouncy curls = Kate Middleton.

Sure, you may not be getting ready for your evening out from a suite in Kensington Palace or be escorted home by a prince, but a girl can dream. At the very least, you get to pretend that the rest of the Halloween party has been put together for your enjoyment. Give your commoner friends a royal wave for us!

DRESS

Less (embellishment, that is) is more when it comes to Kate’s clothing choices. Choose an understated, clean cut dress that helps you to exude poise and class.

SHOES

When you’re on your toes all day greeting commoners, a sensible heel makes, well, sense. Channel Kate’s love for taupe shoes with a pair of your very own.

HAIR & HAT

Keeping in good British fashion, Kate is rarely seen without a colour-coordinated hat or fascinator. Tuck half your hair up and curl the rest: Kate’s not Kate without her signature curls!

PRINCE GEORGE

A Kate Middleton Halloween costume wouldn’t be complete without Prince George in your arms. Dress a baby doll up in an elaborate lace christening gown, or be more direct with a royal baby onesie.
