Samir Hussein/WireImageDressing like royalty shouldn't come this easily.
As the Duchess of Cambridge and a mother of three, Kate Middleton certainly has her hands full. But one thing she never lets slip? Her effortless sense of style.
Whether sporting a chic white JoJo Maman Bébé wool coat or donning a bright red hounds-tooth ensemble, Middleton never fails to look poised, classy and ready for anything.
One of Middleton's go-to fashion designers, Anita Dongre, has some tips for anyone hoping to embody the royal fashion icon.
"Keep it simple, elegant and comfortable," Dongre shared with E! News. "If you see Kate's outfit choices, they are always effortless and chic while also being apt for the event she's attending. The duchess is always elegantly attired and feminine."
In the spirit of effortless chic, Middleton wore one of Dongre's designs—a colorful, bohemian maxi dress—as she played cricket during a royal visit to India and Bhutan in 2016. During the seven-day trip, the duchess also paid her respects to the victims of the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, attended a Bollywood charity gala and hiked to the Tiger's Nest monastery.
As for Dongre, she has also dressed familiar faces like Hillary Clinton and Sophie Trudeau in the past and is at the forefront of bringing Indian fashion to America.
