However, the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, has captured our attention with her eclectic styles ranging from classic and tailored to very modern and chic. If you've fallen in love with Kate's styles as much as we have, here are some tips for how to dress like the royal herself.

1. Bold and Vibrant Colors

The Duchess of Cambridge has shown that pops of color can make all the difference when it comes to styling. Kate's color-centric wardrobe has included colors ranging from deep ceruleans, kelly-greens, rich scarlets and the more recent sighting of her in a very modernly chic yellow dress--just to name a few.

2. Regal Jewelry

What is royalty without a few pieces passed down from a line of royals? One of Kate's regal loans from the Queen have been a Nizam of Hyderabad necklace that she wore to the National Portrait Gallery earlier this year.

5. Symbolic Wear

Kate often tries to incorporate an item significant of the country she is visiting as a part of her outfits. Here's where the maple-leaf-inspired fascinator enters the picture once again. Back in 2011, Kate received attention for the thoughtful, custom-made headpiece, and her most recent wear of a Jenny Packham silver-fern dress to New Zealand garnered talk as well.
