FASHION Magazine

If it were real, we’d be quite offended that Kate Middleton chose a magazine other than ours for her cover debut. But thankfully, the August issue of Marie Claire South Africa is a clever (though not particularly flattering) illustation. To its credit, the magazine is quite tongue-in-cheek about the whole thing, calling it a “Fan Art Tribute” with an added disclaimer that Kate’s not actually wearing a South African designer—but they wish she would consider doing so. (If you’re curious, the printed dress is by Clive Rundle, and given how different it is from Kate’s usual style we’re unsure if she’ll be calling him up to place an order.)
