CopyKate: A Lilac Gown Inspired by Kate Middleton's BAFTA McQueen

Lusting over the pale purple belted McQueen gown that Kate Middleton sported at the BAFTA event in L.A.? edressme.com now has a lilac gown inspired by the Duchess' simple and elegant evening style. The copy has a bow in the back, which we're not really loving, but otherwise we think its a pretty good version.

Add a pair of sparkly Choos and you're good to go!

Royal Tour of North America: Day 10 - Duchess of Cambridge Wears Lilac McQueen at BAFTA Event in L.A.

So we all know that Kate Middleton loves her white and navy, but now it seems we may have discovered a new hue that makes the Duchess' heart sing: lilac. The third L.A. outfit to feature this shade is Kate's much anticipated gown for the BAFTA event, namely a beautifully draped cap-sleeved Alexander McQueen.

Look, we'll be honest. We wanted some drama. A tiara or two. Some sizzle. And while Kate looked very nice (we especially like the beaded belt and her sweet waistline) we would have liked something a bit more...well, more.

We have to admit that Kate's evening show--the Jimmy Choo Vamp Glitter-Finish Sandals--were to die for. Glam and sparkly. Two thumbs up!

Kate's equally shimmery silver clutch is the Ubai, also from Jimmy Choo.

The Duchess' also wore a bracelet borrowed from the Queen. No information was made available about Kate's tasteful chandelier earrings.

There are certain times when you see someone in a particular dress or outfit and you just know that the sartorial gods are pleased. Such was our reaction when we spotted Kate Middleton in pale pink and sequined Jenny Packham at the ARK Gala. The Duchess looked relaxed, young, happy, feminine--in short, this dress was made for her (although not, you know, literally).

Anyone still think that Kate can't do high fashion as well as she does high street? This is your notice. The Duchess seems to be ready to play in the big leagues, and while we'll likely never see her in anything too fashion forward this definitely seems a step in the right direction.

And have we mentioned that we're almost as obsessed with Gossip Girl as we are with KMidd? Well, we are. And we just know that somewhere Blair Waldorf is smiling (and scheming, naturally) knowing she bested Middleton by donning a very similar Packham first, although if you'll recall Blair's wasn't floor-length.

So who do you think wore Packham better - Kate or Blair?

Or do you love both princesses-in-waiting equally?

Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress: Part Deux

A girl needs to be comfortable for dancing and Kate Middleton is no different. Departing Clarence House for Buckingham Palace and her wedding reception, the newly minted Duchess of Cambridge chose to chuck her McQueen wedding gown for another white dress designed by Sarah Burton. Kate's second dress is a strapless, floor-length gazar number with a jewelled waistband that Kate accessorized with a cute and cropped angora sweater. Camilla, also seen here, switched it up opting for another Anna Valentine creation.

Pippa Middleton also left her white McQueen behind...

For the evening Pippa opted for a jewel-coloured Temperley London gown.

We're not 100% sure we're on the Pippa train, although we can say the girl certainly is tanned.
