Princess Catherine seems to have found a favorite designer in Alessandra Rich. We've seen her wear dresses by this designer numerous times. What makes the looks so distinct is that Alessandra Rich dresses, at least the ones that Catherine wears, tend to feature an interesting drop waist, giving us vintage vibes.
In May 2019, while at Bletchley Park, Catherine wore a navy and polka dot dress by the designer, which featured a form-fitting drop waist, high neckline, and white wrist cuffs. Two years later, she wore a red and plaid dress by Alessandra Rich in a similar style when visiting the Victoria & Albert Museum.
Pippa Middleton, like her sister, is also a fan of Alessandra Rich. For the 2018 baptism of her nephew, Prince Louis, Pippa arrived in a pale blue Alessandra Rich dress featuring the familiar drop waist. The dress also featured a high neckline and long sleeves. The cuts of dresses chosen by both Catherine and Pippa are decidedly conservative, which makes sense considering both the events and their public personals. But what makes this so charming is that Rich herself spoke with The Telegraph and admitted that she likes to secretly spice things up in her garments. "All my pieces are like this — they cover the arms or the legs but there's always a split somewhere, or a body chain underneath," Rich explained. "It is good to be a bit naughty."
