See-through dress and micro shorts: Kate Middleton’s most daring student outfits that turned Prince William’s head 24.03.2023, 07:05

The future Princess of Wales grew up in a rich, but not at all aristocratic family. Kate met the Queen’s grandson at the University of St Andrews in Scotland when they were in their twenties.

Today, the wife of Prince William is considered one of the best-dressed women in the ranks of the British monarchy. Unsurpassed elegance and perfect style made her a fashion icon. But in her student years, she preferred other outfits, because in suits and ankle-length skirts, she would hardly arouse the interest of the most enviable British groom.

Middleton’s young years and the beginning of her romance with the prince will be shown in the sixth season of the series The Crown. The creators of the project remembered the daring and revealing outfits that the kings wore at that time. Costume designer Amy Roberts created these models for actress Meg Bellamy, who plays the princess in the hit Netflix show.

Check out Kate’s sheer dress from the catwalk during the charity fashion show in St. Andrews in 2002. By that time, Kate had already met William and entered his close circle of friends, but the guy stubbornly flirted with other students. It is said that Kate intentionally went to provocation so that the prince would not see her as a nice friend, but as an attractive girl.

And the risky operation succeeded! When Middleton took to the catwalk in a see-through black mini dress that showed her underwear, the future king’s jaw is said to have dropped. Prince William paid £200 for a front row seat at St. Andrew’s Bay. He turned to his friend and whispered, “Wow, Kate is hot!”

During her student years, Middleton liked to wear tight micro-tops and low-rise jeans that perfectly accentuated her slim, toned figure. In 2004, the future representative of the monarchy wore a provocative outfit to her studies in Scotland – a sparkling emerald off-the-shoulder top, reminiscent of a disco ball, and yellow micro-shorts. She appeared in this form at the Day-Glo Midnight Roller Disco charity event. Now, such a sight would not be surprising, but according to Hello!

Shortly after graduating from the prestigious university, Prince William’s mistress joined him at the Gatcombe Park festival. She was wearing her favorite jeans, a short suede jacket and a cowboy hat. During another outing, Kate Middleton looked effortlessly seductive, wearing a white miniskirt and brown knee-high boots with a rustic aesthetic.
