Kate’s Jubilee Dress: First Seen on Kim Kardashian

The Duchess of Cambridge was literally radiant in red for Sunday’s Diamond Jubilee festivities in London, wearing a pleated Alexander McQueen number paired with a matching hat. But as it turns out, we’ve seen this dress before — and, surprisingly, it wasn’t on Kate.

Kim Kardashian (who had another high-fashion faceoff last week) wore a similar version of the frock last August while in New York City. The reality starlet’s creation — a bit shorter — lacked the sleeves and boatneck detail of Kate’s dress. Kate paired her McQueen with nude pumps and a red clutch, while Kardashian accessorized with a statement necklace, metallic clutch and snakeskin platforms.

Both ladies look pretty lovely, but we want to know: Whose McQueen dress do you prefer? Vote in our poll below!

I think they both look great, and personally, I like Kim’s version of the dress better than Kate’s. It’s not to say that Kate doesn’t look great, but people should give Kim some kudos for pulling together a great looking outfit too.

“Literally radiant” …? What, Kate was radiating some body heat, just like the rest of us? Or was she emitting light and glowing in the dark?

To People magazine: there is NOT COMPARISON.
KATE all the way!!

People, stop comparing their character. The question is simply who looks better in the dress. Nothing more, nothing less. Kim has curves and Kate has bones. Kim looks better in the dress, HANDS down.

There is and never will be a woman so beautiful as Kate Middleton (Duchess of Cambridge). Duke of Cambridge William could not have chosen anyone better. She has looks, style, grace — everything (she smiles all the time) and is never a fake or put-on. She is what she is. She reminds me so much of Princess Diana and I know if she were alive she would have loved Kate — everything about her — EVERYTHING. I can’t wait until they have kids — especially about 3 or more.

These reporters should be slapped for having Kate Middleton and Kim Kardashian in the same article.

Class comes from within. They both look lovely wearing the different dresses. I continue to be amazed at how many haters there seems to be – even posting about dresses.

May be a dress by the same designer, but People… its not the same dress. Please be accurate in your reporting of such breaking news …

shhhhheeeeesh!

Who wants to look like frumpy Kate? Only her because of circumstances!! I’ll prefer Kim’s in a second.#KimsRock

Of course Kate wears it better. After all, she’s a lady and Kim is a ho !
