Why Kate Middleton’s bra straps are never seen: William’s wife’s fashion secret revealed May 6, 2023, 07:50

Prince William’s wife has become a fashion icon. She strictly adheres to the royal dress code: from making sure the hem of the dress doesn’t blow away in gusts of wind to making sure the bra straps are never visible. Fashion stylist Abby McHale revealed Kate’s secret.

The representative of the British monarchy understands that she is not allowed to make silly fashion mistakes. That’s why the duchess rarely wears pantyhose. They can improve the skin tone on the feet, but in the company of tight shoes, they are at risk of slipping. The last thing a king needs is to look disorganized. Middleton avoids these problems with her favorite John Lewis sticky-soled tights.

The Princess of Wales is rarely seen without heels at royal receptions, often wearing stilettos for several hours. Pads and leather inserts help her feel comfortable and avoid painful blisters. They allow the feet to breathe, provide additional support and comfort.

Every princess’s worst nightmare is the Marilyn Monroe effect, where gusts of wind lift the hem and reveal her underwear. Just months after marrying William in 2011, Kate’s yellow Jenny Packham dress billowed in the wind while touring Canada, revealing a little more of her thighs than she intended. The royal fashionista has learned this lesson and now loads the hems of skirts and dresses to keep them from puffing up.

The princess often wears tight clothing such as tight pants or thin fabric dresses. This can lead to a terrible embarrassment, exposing the seams of the underwear. Middleton avoids this by wearing seamless panties and shapewear under her dress.

If the king wears a blouse, then it should be perfectly tucked into trousers or a skirt. That’s why Kate started wearing bodysuits – so her top stays in place even during intense movements. In January, Kate wore a £149 Holland and Cooper jumpsuit while visiting the crew of the Royal Navy ship HMS Glasgow.

The main rule for ladies in the palace is never to show underwear. This is why you will never see Kate showing off her bra straps. A sneaky trick helps her in this – costume designers sew bras into her outfits, reports The Sun.

The Princess of Wales’ hairstyle remains perfect even when wearing a hat. The point is that curls are equipped with combs or elastic bands that are invisible to others. For example, on the windy day of Princess Eugenie’s wedding in 2018, not a single strand fell out of her hair when Kate wore a fuchsia Philip Treacy hat.
