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!

the only similar about these dresses is the color. why are you comparing them?

Kate has CLASS. I don’t need to say more.

There hasn’t been a Mirror that Kim hasn’t used to primp with. Kate is a natural beauty with quality behind her. She just shines. Kim could only wish to have the class and style that comes to Kate naturally. I don’t think Kim is ever natural-she was just so PHONY!!

It is easy–Kate is slim, and Kim is fat. That is why Kate is stunning and Kim is……not.

As usual, Kim looks like a hooker. Maybe they don’t make sizes large enough for that big ole butt! Man, I would hate to see what it will look like in 10-15 years. WWWWIDEEE As usual, Kate wears her appropriate size & looks like a classy hot young lady!
Great thing about Kim & Kanye; they both are bag d___ches! At least they won’t mess up or hurt 2 decent people! Finally 2 arrogant, narcissistic, self absorbed malignant people end up together instead of devastating 2 decent people!

how can you compare Lady & the tramp?

PhoenixJ on June 4th, 2012

Ha! Ha! Ha! Like comparing Mad Dog 20/20 bum wine to expensive champagne! Get real!

Beauty and the Beast.

Any dress designer will confess that there are a limited number of styles…pleated skirt, a-line skirt, straight skirt, dirndl…a couple of neckline treatments with collar variations and various sleeve lengths. The combinations are what make a garment unique.

The difference between Kate’s dress and the Kardashian disaster is that Kate’s dress is feminine, modest, and appropriate. The Kardashian twitlet’s is garish and flamboyant. There is no real comparison between the two.
