Kate Middleton's Polka-Dot Dress Could Be a Stylish Homage to Princess Diana

Always the thoughtful dresser, we've come to regard Kate Middleton as not only appropriately attired for any occasion - be it a speaking engagement, gala, or even fresh out of the hospital only a minute postpartum - but one whose wardrobe choices are often imbued with hidden sentiment. That could certainly be said of her polka-dot dress on Tuesday when Kate stepped out to visit to Bletchley Park for a special D-Day exhibition. We all applauded Kate's very relatable choice to rewear her polka-dot Alessandra Rich dress, which we first spotted her wearing for the portraits to celebrate Prince Charles's 70th birthday. What we later noticed is that the dress also bears a striking resemblance to a polka-dot look Princess Diana wore in 1985.

Sure, some of the details are not exact - Princess Diana's dress comes with a ribbon at the neckline and noticeable shoulder pads (it was the '80s, after all!). Still, it's a resemblance so uncanny, we'd have to imagine Kate, too, has taken note. It's as if Kate plucked the same dress from the royal archives and gave it a fresh 2019 update. While that's not exactly the case - the dresses are from completely different designers - we love the way the duchess has, knowingly or not, called back to her very stylish late mother-in-law and given us all another reason to love this look.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
