Duchess Kate, super-slim in blue Erdem: gorgeous or tacky?
More Duchess of Cambridge fashion! More blue! More lace! More weight loss! For Sunday’s trip to Quebec, Kate wore this Erdem dress for the majority of the day - it’s the “Jacquenta†dress, and I guess we’re just establishing that this rich blue color is Kate’s signature. It could totally be worse - I love blue, and the overwhelming majority of women look good in several shades of blue. As much as I’d like to see Kate mix it up, color-wise, the blue is working for her. I do dislike this dress, though. I’m confused by the lace detailing on the shoulders, and while I appreciate that Kate had the dress tailored for her slim figure, there are several shots of her where she looks less “slim†and more “emaciatedâ€.
And here are some additional photos from Kate and Will’s cooking experience a few days ago, where they both wore chef’s jackets. WAITY WITH A KNIFE. She’s having fun with it, but those photos are hilarious.
Finally, here is Kate in a Joseph dress that is totally bland. It looks like a beach coverup!

I think the Joseph dress is pretty!

She looks like she walks like a linebacker.
Again, Erdem designs such gorgeous printed dresses. Why not wear one of those? It’s summer! The lace looks cheap and slightly Dynasty-ish.
Put the hair up.
The white dress is pretty inoffensive but does nothing for her.
She’s wearing an Alexander McQueen sweater dress today that makes her look like a royal child circa 1900. Wearing hair in a ponytail. I thought she had a hairdresser on the trip with her. She really needs a stylist.

LOVE the photo of her with the Tattoo Guy! <3
The lace-shoulder dress is not my favorite, but she still looks beautiful in it. Thin is an understatement,but she looks lovely nonetheless. Those nude colored pumps are pretty great, too.

In general, I am very impressed with how easily she has taken up the role of the princess. All this social work and outings and being spotlighted by media seems to not shake her in the least.
I still get a vibe from her, that she wanted the chance to play dress up and be ‘the pretty princess photographed’ and all â€" but at least she’s got the social ability and know how to pull off the full responsibilities of that role.
I wouldnt say for a second its easy work; as much as you cant say it isnt extremely rewarding to meet so many people and see so many new things.
But yeah she’s tiny and her hair looks great up; plus her modern and smart taste doent fully satisfy my desire to see princess fashions. LOL

I’m sure she is a lovely person and she handles herself well; however, to me, she’s attractive but not beautiful. She has a weird way of walking with her knees bent and she’s too thinâ€"think she may have anorexia in common w/ her departed mother-in-law.

What kills me is her waist. Her arms and legs look thin but not like they’ll snap in half but her WAIST is so long and jarringly tiny. I can only hope she’s not falling down Dianas path of self destruction.

The plain cream dress actually was initially paired with a cute jacket-but it’s so hot she took it off. Today at St Edwards Island she’s wearing an adorable cream Alexander McQueen and her hair is back in a pony tail.

She is thin, and boarding on skinny, but she is not THAT thin. There are not weird bones poking out and her muscles are visible. I think she looks fine and very happy. It’s such a contrast to another newly weds.

She’s a princess; she can’t be too flashy. It isn’t done. In my opinion, she’s doing a great job of styling herself. She’s simple and unfussy, and she is travelling after all.
EDIT: Just saw today’s dress. It’s Edwardian looking, which is pretty appropriate since they are in PEI for her Anne of Green Gables day which was written in Edwardian times.

With the exception of her engagement pic dress, I have liked everything she has worn so far. We have the same emaciated build and I think she looks really good.

Will and Kate are really growing on me. They seem truly content with each other and their new roles as ambassadors for their country and the monarchy. Style wise I give her an A. She is classy and understated. I like her solid colored dresses, they photograph very well. Well done to the both of them!

Someone of substance who does not do drugs, drink, fall on their ass, get arrested etc etc. And yet still people need to make derogatory comments. What’s wrong with people? Not happy unless they can slag on someone else? Pretty sad lives if you get happiness from bashing others. Bottom line, she doesn’t know you nor care (I’m sure) about what is written on this page! William loves her. End of story.

Can we use the word “anorexia†yet? I look at her and I think of Crown Princess Viktoria of Sweden who famously had “the Princess Syndrome†a few years back and finally admitted to an eating disorder. It’d be interesting to do a before & after post on Kate because there’s being thin and then there’s having a big eating issue.

Like the blue color, but I’m not a fan of this lace trend, it always looks dated to me.
She does look much thinner, probably due to all the attention on what she’s wearing. Hopefully she doesn’t make herself ill because of it.

I think she’s too thin but YMMV. So far her clothes have been safe, appropriate but quite boring. I’m getting a little tired of all the blue, but again - she looks perfectly fine. She looks really great in cream - would have liked to see the jacket to that dress.

If that’s a beach cover up, then I havent a clue as to what I’ve been wearing over my bathing suits! Her blue dress is lovely. I haven’t a clue why you’re always so “confused†by nice clothing.

Please DO go on making fun of Kate. She is vapid and boring. Why should she get a pass? There is nothing interesting about her at all. She is doing what she hung on and waited for for 9 years. She does wear nice clothes, though. I like the blue lace shoulder dress because I’m a big fan of Erdem. If he had designed her wedding dress, it might have been more interesting. I liked the Kate Burton dress, but it was nothing extraordinary.
Social work, what social work?

Shes a lovely girl. I generally like most of her clothing choices. She is in my opinion getting too thin. I shudder to remember thats how Dianna started to show the stress.

The dress is lovely but should have been worn on another occasion and not right on the heels of the navy blue lace dress. Being very lean with low body fat is not the same as being emaciated. Look at Kate’s muscular biceps. Emaciated people are skin and bones with no muscle tone. I think she would look better with a little more fat to fill out her tall frame, but maybe she likes the way she looks.

Meh, nothing against her, but she just doesn’t do it for me, at all. What is she like in reality, aside from the media articles, media spin, etc.? Nobody outside her circle really knows. One thing’s for sure, she does not have that certain “IT†about her.
She’s a pretty woman, but I think she’d look better and more striking by cutting that boring hair of hers to shoulder length.
Wow, can’t believe we’re coming up on 30 years since Charles and Di got married! I remember waking up early and watching the wedding on TV with my older sister. Wow…I feel “olderâ€! LOL!

I don’t get these too thin comments. She has muscle tone - you can see it in certain pictures. This girl is nowhere near an Angelina Jolie or Nicole Richie (from a few years back) level.
I like her, but not her fashion choices so much. She should wear a pair of jeans or khakis once in awhile. Or if everything has to be formal, something more youthful. A lot of these dresses have a matronly feel.

I don’t think commenting on her weight loss is hating on her. Personally, I’m a bit concerned given how quickly eating disorders can spiral out of control. (BTW, Princess Di had muscle tone, too â€" some anorexics and/or bulimics don’t just starve themselves, they also exercise like crazy to keep their weight down.)
If you compare photos of Kate before the engagement and after, it’s pretty clear that she went from being slim to being emaciated. That’s not healthy for Kate, nor does it set a good example for the girls that look up to her.

I’m with JohnnieR. I don’t hate her. I just don’t feel much towards her.
I think she needs to cut her hair, but I doubt she’d do it. Her hair is her signature, like the navy/blue colored clothing. She won’t change it up any time soon.

Not liking how matchy she is with the colours. The red and white on Canada Day and then this blue dress in Quebec - was it worn to match with the Quebec flag?
She looks good, but I would agree, a bit older than her actual age.

She’s getting a serious case of a lollipop head.. she should not wear clothes that emphasise the fact that she has no hips. She looks like she has huge shoulders and a big head (which she doesn’t) in that blue dress. BTW, the lace/applique thing reminds me of something one buys at JoAnn Fabrics for a craft project. Anyway.. I hope she gives us something to write home about soon. Unfortunately, she’s close to looking like Nancy Reagan (anorexia included).

People, it is possible for a woman to be slim and not anorexic. She is thin, but healthy.

First of all - love them together. Very sweet, loving, and a refreshing change from the usual royal/gossip couples.
Love her hair - love that she wears it down. And she might be thin - but she is no anorexic - just look at her healthy arms and legs. I’m tall too, and used to have that exact figure with a very slender waist. Sadly, a few years and 3 children have somewhat modified it for me. Now I just have a regular waistline like everyone else. It is an awesome figure for wearing dresses. Everything looks good. And I love her choices so far - very suitable for each occasion.

Kate is a lovely woman with beautiful hair who looked ever so much better as a healthy ‘waity Katy’!
Too bad she seems to be losing weight at a disorder type rate. Maybe, it’s newlywed stress and Kate will return to her attractive, normally slim self?

I think she’s looking a little too slim, but if she were anorexic or bulimic it would probably be showing in her hair. My sister was bulimic for a while and it finally hit home for her how unhealthy it was when her gorgeous thick hair started falling out. Kate has great healthy-looking hair and skin, so she seems to be getting enough nutrients. Anyway, I think she’s probably one of those women who loses weight when they’re under stress, plus I bet she works out whenever she has time and eats healthy.
Her style is a little boring, seeing as she keeps wearing the same few colors, but she does look good in what she wears and she accessorizes well. Her and William look really happy together, and he looks really cute in that button down shirt and jeans… I remember when I was in middle school and all the girls had his picture on the wall, he was/is such a cutie, hair loss or not.

Yeah, her torso area is kind of worrying me. I look at her waist and hips and wonder where all of her internal organs have room to function. Like, I wonder if she menstruates. Her sister is absolutely tiny too, so I’ll concede that they’re both petite and slightly-built. But chicks, eat a sandwich or two, please, you got me worried.

If you want an idea of exactly how skinny she is, go to US magazine and look at the photo of her in the boat. Her legs are skinny skinny and it kind of reminds me of Angelina Jolie. I hope that she realizes that the thinness really detracts from her looks and makes her appear about 5 or 6 years older than she actually is. They seem like a sweet couple and I hope they remain happy and if she has issues with weight or food, I hope she doesn’t go the Diana route.

Kaiser: I really like the dress but definitely she looks really skinny for her height. As I read she is 5.10 and she should be at least 125 or 130 lbs for that height. I think she already is 10-15 pounds underweight. I hope she does not become obsessive with her body. As to her style I think her style has become too predicted. All her dresses are just fine and “royally correct†but I kind of know what style she is going to wear next time - I may just not know the color.

Her dresses are very pretty. I love the color blue, and the cut is great as well.
The shoes are absolutely awesome! I wish they said whose shoes are they.
She is so skinny, it ages her. She looks older than most 30 something women.
A few more pounds would help her harsh look.
The hair is fine and could be better had it more curl to it.
Other than that, she lives at the expense of the people and has no real job other than have a PR team make sure she stays famous for being famous.
She is living her dream, though. She is famous for no real reason or accomplishment.

I like the white dress tbh, certainly more than the blue. I like the looser styles on her.

She’s been a little thin for a while now. I thought she went on some weird diet for her wedding.
I know I’m going to be slammed for this but I was never a fan of Diana’s fashion or hair choices and the blue dress is a little too Diana. It’s perfectly royal and dowdy.
At least she didn’t wear a hat. When does she hit LA again? This will be interesting.

I’m glad she’s not wearing a hat. Getting a little burnt out on them.
I like that she wears blue and doesn’t ALWAYS wear neutrals. I can’t get over how narrow her waist is. The rest of her looks normal-slim but her waist and hips I feel I could wrap my hands around and they would touch!
I noticed the bent knees too…is she about the same height as Prince William in heels? Maybe that’s why she walks like that.

Oh please of course she’s “good at this†she’s been practicing for 9 years! And probably before then knowing what her Boelyn-esque family is like.
She better be good at smiling and posing, it’s the only job she’s ever had and I’m sure she’s been practicing for this day the minute Willy saw her in her see through dress and paid for her for the night.
Come off it. It’s like I’m in some weird parallel universe where everything she’s done for the past 9 years has suddenly been forgotten and she’s become a “role model†(for what girls to be Stepford wives?), beautiful (yes for someone a decade older) and so lovely (really when has her real personality ever emerged)? She’s like a better put together Katie Holmes, robot personality and all.

She was in the province of Quebec when she was wearing that blue dress, and the colours of their flag are white and that same blue. I think it was a symbol of respect. For Canada Day she wore red and white, and a maple leaf brooch. She’s trying to coordinate with the provinces that she’s visiting. I bet when she visits Alberta (Calgary) it will be some kind of cowboy-themed outfit.

The colour is lovely, and remember Catherine was in Quebec, the anti-monarchy province of Canada. That colour of her dress is the same blue in the Quebec flag. So like she wore red and white on Canada Day, she’s wearing blue in Quebec. However I didn’t like the style of the dress. It looked like a bridesmaid dress as a couple posters already mentioned.
And good grief, can she get any skinnier? Did you all see her when they did the dragon boat racing and walked on the beach? Her legs were skinnier than her neck! She has no arse. I wonder if that’s why she switched positions, that she didn’t have the muscle tone anymore to handle the steering like she did 4 years ago? She could barely row too. Although I think William had an unfair advantage with his mostly guys boat, and I believe the guy in front of him (bald head) is one of Canada’s Olympian rowers.
Getting off track here. The dress colour is lovely, the dress style a fail. I hope Catherine gains about 10 or 15 pounds. She needs it in order to conceive and to look better than a lollipop on a stick.
Come to think of it, doesn’t William look a bit thin himself? He had skinny legs and no arse in those trousers he was wearing at the beach. What the heck do those royals eat? Bird seed?
