14 Times Kate Middleton Updated Runway Looks To Match Her Classic Style

While on her royal tour of Canada in 2016 alongside Prince William and their eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, Princess Catherine debuted a vintage-inspired Dolce & Gabbana dress with a major alteration to fit her simple and sophisticated style. The luxury brand's Pocket Watch dress, which was part of the label's fall 2016 collection, was a demure 1940s-style dress that featured a large gold pocket watch appliqué on the right side of the bust.

Always one to prefer a more understated look, Catherine had the darling emerald dress altered to remove the watch embroidery. The choice made the Dolce & Gabbana design much more timeless — pun intended — and shifted the attention to the antique-style buttons running down the center of the bodice. The princess paired the simplified garment with nude accessories, including a small box clutch and classic pumps, which added to the vintage feel of the feminine dress.

Like her modified Anita Dongre dress, Dolce & Gabbana made Catherine's altered iteration of the Pocket Watch design available for sale once the brand caught wind of how enamored the public was of the pretty green dress.
