Lilac is In: Kate Middleton Declares the Color of the Season
If you’ve been looking for a sign to refresh your spring wardrobe, the Princess of Wales just gave us the ultimate green light: or should I say, lilac light!
At the recent tribute for what would have been Queen Elizabeth II’s 100th birthday, Kate Middleton stepped out in a breathtaking bespoke lilac crepe midi dress by Emilia Wickstead. It wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a beautiful nod to the late Queen, who famously loved the soft, regal shade.
A Royal Tribute in Every Detail
The dress featured elegant ruching at the bust, structured shoulders, and three-quarter sleeves: a classic silhouette that Kate wears so well. But the sentiment didn’t stop at the fabric. She paired the look with the late Queen’s own Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings and a three-strand pearl necklace, proving that the best accessories are the ones with a story.
Get the Look on the High Street
You don’t need a royal budget to rock the color of the season. Lilac is taking over the high street, and it’s surprisingly versatile. Whether you’re heading to a garden wedding or just want to brighten up your office attire, here’s where to find the vibe:
- ASOS: Look for their “ASOS DESIGN” scrunch draped midi dresses. They offer that same soft, textured feel as Kate’s crepe dress at a fraction of the cost.
- Coast: Known for their timeless tea dresses, Coast has several lilac lace and satin options that mirror the Princess’s sophisticated A-line style.
Why Lilac?
Lilac is the perfect transitional color. It’s softer than purple but more sophisticated than pastel pink. At Brownstone Worldwide, we’re seeing this trend pop up everywhere from home decor to the latest beauty drops in our Brownstone Marketplace.
Whether you’re grabbing a new lilac blouse or just a fresh nail polish, you’re in good company. If it’s good enough for the Princess, it’s definitely good enough for us!
