Kate Middleton Takes a Page From Princess Diana's Style Book After Topless Photo Surfaces

The Duchess of Cambridge has been having a tough day, but at least she looks good while in Malaysia and rocking a lace overlay dress.

When it comes to clothes, we here at Fashion Police have made an irreversible conclusion.

We henceforth decree that Kate Middleton can do no wrong, at least, not in the fashion department. Ever since she stepped out in that blue Zara dress with L.K. Bennett wedges on her first full day as Mrs., ummm, Wales, she's never had a fashion slip-up. (Miley, are you listening?)

The duchess may be having a hard week, thanks to some extremely aggressive paparazzi, but her winning streak continues nonetheless with her delicate mission to Malaysia, a place where conservative looks rule.

Kate's choice? A fabulous Beulah London dress, simple head covering and sophisticated Bennett pumps. The shoes were awesome, and we would have hated to take them off, like, ever. But doff them Kate did as a sign of respect when she visited a mosque in the Islamic nation.

If the look seems a bit familiar, you're right—Prince William's mother, Diana, was known to wear similar looks when appropriate.

And if you need Kate's Beulah dress in your life—and we just might—you should know that it's part of the label's spring/summer 2013 ready-to-wear collection.
