Not so long ago Vivienne Westwood, doyenne of British fashion and eccentric, publicly decried the Duchess of Cambridge's bland fashion choices and suggested she should be more adventurous.
I disagree. I fall into that other group that welcomes the Duchesse's fashion choices as intelligent. When I think back to the BAFTA gala on the US portion of the Duke and Duchesse's North American tour, I could not help but notice that the Duchess went against the trend. She was so covered up compared to everyone else that you could not help but notice her! Pure genius!
I am not done yet... In typical Hollywood fashion most of the actresses showed up in revealing dresses- lovely to be sure, but they were ultimately outshone by a lovely woman in a lovely dress that was fairly conservative. Even Nicole Kidman who always dresses beautifully was eclipsed by the Duchesse's low key understated style.
I'd suggest that the Duchess was being adventurous by dressing against the norm!
