Is Kim Kardashian the New Kate Middleton?

It's 12 days and counting until Kim Kardashian's big day—which got us thinking about that other bride of the century, Kate Middleton.

As the fairy-tale wedding approaches, we couldn't help noticing some similarities between the E! star and the duchess...

Background: Remember, as famous as they are now, both young women's lives had pretty quiets beginnings, one's the great-granddaughter of Armenian immigrants and the other's the daughter of flight attendants. Of course, Kim and Kate have simply flourished since being plunged into the media spotlight.

Fashion Icon Status: While their signature styles couldn't be more different, they definitely seem to reflect their homelands. Kate usually looks veddy proper, often choosing British designers like her go-to, Issa. Kim is all Hollywood, accentuating every curve with the latest trends.

The Wedding Dresses! And of course, both fashionistas chose the only way to go in bridal wear if you can afford it: a custom-made gown by a top designer. Kate's gown was created by Sarah Burton from the house of Alexander McQueen, and Kim has tapped Vera Wang for her wedding day confection—we can't wait to see it!
