Regardless of whether you think the Duchess of Cambridge is a sartorial genius or a repeat offender, one thing is clear: she knows what she likes.

“Although it’s very conservative, there is something that sets her apart from just your average nice, conservative, well-brought-up girl,” bespoke designer Katherine Hooker tells New York of her client’s style.

“I think a lot of people think that she dresses very boringly, that she should be more fashion-forward and all that, but I think that she’s a very strong person, she has a strong personality.”

Middleton also exercises her right to refusal: “There are some things that she’s definitely like, No,” Hooker reveals. “[She’s someone] who really know what works, what she likes, what she doesn’t like.” Tell us: What do you think of the Duchess’s style?
