The resplendent red Alexander
McQueen dress that Duchess of Cambridge wore for the Queen’s Diamond
Jubilee pageant over River Thames yesterday afternoon has become such a hit
with her admirers that it is already sold out on fashion websites.
The Duchess of Cambridge
literally stole the show from Queen Elizabeth in whose honor the spectacular
water-borne pageant was organized show-casing a motley group of 1000-flotillas. Catherine’s stunning scarlet adapted frock by
Alexander McQueen designer Sarah Burton was ‘bang-on-trend’ as they say in the
fashion world.

Of course, this is not the first time the
stunning scarlet dress has made its appearance in public. A racier version of
the same design has been sported by X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavolas and Kim
Kardashian on two different occasions last summer.
Sexy Tulisa wore a much shorter skirt and
sleeveless version for her birthday, while the voluptuous socialite Kim wore a
sleeveless and altered neckline version of the same dress as she filmed scenes
for her reality show in New York in September.
Kate’s take on the dress was a lot more demure
and elegant. The Duchess is understood to have liked the look so much she
secretly kept the design in mind for the Jubilee and later asked her designers
for an altered version with sleeves and a longer skirt, reports Daily Star.
Fashionistas praised Kate’s majestic dress sense
and choice of outfit, with fans on Twitter lauding her look as “stunning”.
Style queen Sarah Burton, who designed the red frock for the McQueen brand,
also created Kate’s famous wedding dress last year.

The 30-year-old royal teamed her vivid scarlet
dress with an eye-catching red hat designed by Sylvia Fletcher for royal
milliner James Lock & Co. On her dress was attached a maritime-themed
brooch, with two silver dolphins - a gift from the Royal Navy Submarine Service
of which William is Commodore in Chief.
Duchess Catherine even managed to delight sharp-eyed
Scottish on-lookers by carrying a scarf made of Strathearn tartan. As royal
watchers are aware her Scottish title is, of course, the Countess of
Strathearn. The ever chic Duchess completed her look with a pair of her
trademark beige LK Bennett heels.
Meanwhile, the stunning Alexander McQueen
designer dress worn by Kate Middleton had been sold out as Kate’s fans stormed
fashion websites, despite its steep 1,200-pound price tag.
