Princess Kate’s ‘best’ look named by stylist | Royal | News

Princess Kate always looks phenomenal, whether she is snapped on a red carpet or dropping her three little ones to school.
The Princess, who has mastered the art of rocking both casual and couture, has had countless standout fashion moments since coming under the royal spotlight.
Personal stylist, personal shopper and image coach Melissa Lund took Express.co.uk through some of the Princess’ best looks to date.
When Kate attended the No Time To Die world premiere back in September 2021, she totally turned heads – although the outfit may have been a fashion miss if it didn’t have one key feature.
Melissa said: “I love this silver and gold caped gown by Jenny Packham.
“If the dress had been all gold it might have looked a little dated but the mix of silver and gold modernises it. The metallic melange also works better with Kate’s colouring.”
According to Kate Middleton Style, the Princess wore a bespoke version of the gown, created for her at Jenny Packham’s atelier. Kate’s bejwelled gown featured a more modest neckline and more embellishments.
Kate accessorised with some gold earrings by O’nitaa and nude heels by Aquaruzza.
Another Kate look the stylist loved was the red Alexander McQueen trouser suit she wore for the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation Concert in June 2022.
The expert called the red suit and Van Cleef and Arpels Alhambra jewellery combo “spot on”.
Next up was Kate’s “gorgeous” green Andrew Gn coat dress, which she donned for this year’s Trooping The Colour in June.
She dazzled in a different shade of green just months before this at the St Patrick’s Day Parade.
Melissa said: “The teal Catherine Walker coat dress looked amazing – fitted waist, sharp shoulders and the right length. She also managed to find the perfect teal shoes.”
The expert also praised Kate’s plum power suit which she wore when she hosted a reception For England Wheelchair Rugby League Team. She said: “It’s simple, with really great lines and the colour is perfect for her.”
Melissa previously spoke to Express.co.uk about Kate and William’s best couple looks – they all have a “subtle” detail in common.

Shoppers say shampoo and conditioner makes hair ‘immediately thicker’

A mane lacking thickness and volume can make hair styling a struggle: fine strands can lead to limp volume, less hold and tresses that appears greasy too quickly. However, a quality thickening shampoo and conditioner can make a world of difference, enhancing each strand to create the illusion of a fuller, more voluminous head of hair.
John Frieda is a big name in the hair industry, helping shoppers get dreamy locks, and Amazon is offering a 20% discount on a duo set by the brand, John Frieda’s ProFiller+ Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner, reducing the pair from £24.99 to £20. While it’s a small saving of £4.99, it is still appreciated by those who swear by this ‘game-changing’ hair duo.
The products together claim to give flat, fine hair that’s a little lifeless a substantial boost, delivering up to 200% thicker and fuller-looking hair while also minimising breakage-related hair loss.
The formula of the shampoo and conditioner has been crafted to help fortify strands from within, which’ll make hair appear healthier and feel stronger.
For those wanting to go all out and complete the set, the brand also offers a ProFiller+ Thickening Spray, which helps protect hair from heat styling while adding volume. It’s currently priced at £5.55, which would bring the total price to just above the original price of the shampoo and conditioner duo alone, without the discount.
Of course, John Frieda isn’t the only haircare brand beloved for aiding thinning hair. Philip Kingsley’s Density Hair Thickening Shampoo (£30) has had the seal of approval from hundreds of hair-care fans, with people praising its ability to thicken hair. Alternatively, for a more cost-effective option, Noughty’s Get Set Grow Shampoo is £4.50 but still manages to give a solid volume boost, reports OK!.
With a 4.3 star rating from over 200 reviews on Amazon alone, shoppers have been keen to share their results of using the shampoo and conditioner, singing its praises as one previously struggling reviewer shared: “I used this shampoo and conditioner yesterday, and I immediately noticed a difference. My hair is definitely thicker.”
They added: “Even after one use, my hair looks really good. After drying and styling, it’s soft, shiny, and has a lot more volume. The bottles are large, too, so they should last ages.”
Someone else wrote: “My hair had started thinning, and I used several different products before trying this shampoo and conditioner. I’d nearly given up, but I’m so glad I didn’t, as it has made such a difference. My hair looks and feels so much fuller now-much more body and shine.”
However, not all feedback was quite as glowing; one customer reported a less than ideal reaction to the formula and said: “I’ve used John Frieda products before without a problem, but unfortunately, this duo has caused scalp stinging and itching. I used it a couple of times and stopped, and the problem has cleared up. I can’t recommend the duo for this reason, unfortunately.”
However, it seems for the most part customers have loved the shampoo set for tackling thinning issues, as one shopper remarked: “This thickening shampoo and conditioner is the best. I am of an age now where my hair is thinning out, but after I’ve washed and conditioned it with these products, it looks much fuller and shinier.”
The John Frieda ProFiller+ Thickening Shampoo and Conditioner 500ml Duo Pack is currently on sale at Amazon for £20.

White Stuff shoppers buy linen dungarees in multiple colours

Dungarees are the perfect summer garment to throw on with a T-shirt and sandals when the sun is shining. White Stuff shoppers are full of praise for the Viola Sleeveless Linen Dungaree which comes in four gorgeous colours; navy, natural, blue and khaki green. The classic fit dungarees cost £80 and are available in sizes six to 24 in regular, long and short lengths.
They have a cropped leg and a flattering square neckline, ideal for showing off the top worn underneath or a necklace. The 100% linen dungarees have chunky straps and ‘roomy’ pockets perfect for keeping essentials close by. The garment is finished off with statement buttons running down the front and sides.
For shoppers who prefer a cotton material, ASOS is selling Monki lightweight denim dungarees for £34. They come in sizes ranging from XS to XL and are available in a variety of colours, including black and blue.
Fashion fans who prefer a jumpsuit style may be interested in Nobody’s Child’s Stone Linen-blend Jumpsuit. Priced at £85, the garment has a similar square neckline to the White Stuff dungarees and comes in sizes four to 18.
It’s safe to say White Stuff customers are loving the Viola Sleeveless Linen Dungarees, with 360 reviewers awarding them an overall rating of 4.4 out of five. Some shoppers are so impressed they’ve bought the garment in multiple colours.
One happy customer wrote: “Absolutely love these, in fact I’ve bought three pairs. They’re easy to get on and off, comfortable to wear, and look good. I hate anything around my tummy and despaired of finding anything stylish. They’re perfect, don’t stop selling them.”
“Great quality and comfort,” said a second delighted buyer. “I absolutely love these. They are great quality and so comfortable to wear. I have had a few compliments while wearing them too, which never hurts either.”
A third commented: “Super comfortable and easy to wear. Love these, had them in other colours last year and this navy one is even better.”
It’s worth noting that some shoppers found the dungarees to be too short in the body, as one person penned: “Sadly far too short in the torso. A button arrangement to adjust the length would have been very helpful.” Another buyer agreed, commenting: “While I’m a petite 5ft2″, I am long in the body. Unfortunately the straps cannot be adjusted, so I had to send it back.”
However, someone else who is the same height was left impressed, as their glowing five-star review reads: “I now have four pairs of these dungarees. They are perfect in a size 8 regular. I’m normally a size 8/10 depending on the make and 5ft2″ and like them a little longer than cropped. You just slip them on, so they are perfect for warm summer days – no tight waistbands to contend with.”

Elizabeth Arden fans save £20 off ‘long-lasting’ fragrance set

An Elizabeth Arden fragrance set that would usually set shoppers back £60 has gone on sale for £40.20. Saving customers £19.80, the Red Door Eau de Toilette 3-Piece Set includes a 100ml Red Door Eau de Toilette Spray, a 100ml body lotion in the same iconic scent and a perfumed body powder. Layering is key to a long-lasting fragrance so using a body lotion and body powder in the same scent as a perfume is a top beauty trick if shoppers want to smell lovely all day.
The Red Door fragrance is a blend of rich florals, honey, and sandalwood. Floral notes include lily of the valley, freesia, wild violets and red roses, a scent customers describe as ‘very classy’. This set comes packaged in a beautiful box, so it would make a great gift for any birthdays coming up in the calendar, and at £20 cheaper it’ll also save money.
Thousands of beauty fans swear by the Red Door scent and this deal is the ideal opportunity to stock up, or try it out for the first time. One shopper left a review that says: “This scent is wonderful. You can smell lily right out of the bottle, my skin smells like I’m smelling a bouquet of them. Long lasting, can still smell on my jacket when I take it on and off.”
A second wrote: “Lasts well and projection is nice. I wear this to work or out. A little goes a long way so it’s a great value. Bottle is nice heavy glass.”
And a third shared: “Red Door scented perfume what a great value for the money. Anyone who smells this perfume will love it. Comes in beautiful packaging and is very versatile. It lasts longer than other perfumes.”
However, not everyone is keen and someone explained: “The sweetness is a bit intense, and wearing too much, for me, is headache-inducing.”
