Kate Middleton’s Royal Portrait Dress Sells Out Fast but There’s Just One Little Problem

Shortly after the official photo of Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Prince George was released, the world's least surprising thing happened: The dress the Duchess of Cambridge was wearing in the pic sold out. Because in order to become a princess, you need to dress like one.

Kate wore a dress by the British fashion label Séraphine, and if you're as big a Kate fan as you claim to be, you know that this is now the third time Kate has worn a Seraphine dress in the last few months. The style of the dress -- loose-fitting with a knot at the chest -- would look good on anyone. But the bright fuchsia color? Incorrect.

Kate Middleton has fantastic style, and I admit, I've definitely thought about buying a navy blue wrap dress after the royal engagement photo came out. But ... Kate Middleton would look good wrapped in tin foil. And tin foil would definitely sell out immediately if that's what she was wearing in the pic with Baby Cambridge. Just because Kate's wearing it doesn't mean it will look good on you! Sorry, not trying to be a meanie here (you're gorgeous!), but it's true!

This style dress would flatter pretty much anyone. But the color is too bright for a lot of complexions. So maybe consider picking up the dress, but just in a different color. Oh, wait. You can't. Because it's sold out. 

Middleton, you and your sense of style have struck again!

Would you wear Kate's fuchsia dress?

Kate Middleton May Be Breaking With Royal Baby Portrait Tradition in a Beautiful Way

We haven't seen Kate Middleton and Prince William since they stood outside of St. Mary's last month with tiny Prince George all bundled up in a cozy white blanket. But our next glimpse of the happy royal family may not be far off. What's more, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may be passing on releasing a run-of-the-mill, traditional professional portrait, multiple sources told the Daily Mirror yesterday. Gasp!

A royal aide notes, "One of the options they are looking at is releasing a couple of family photos they have taken themselves. Kate has a great eye for pictures and wants the first official ones of George to be natural and in a relaxed environment." This way, they'd also be able to avoid the disruption to their routine that bringing a pro into their Bucklebury home would cause. 

The royals are also planning to release the cozy snapshots on Twitter and their personal website as soon as next week, so that "as many people have access to them who need to," according to People.

Aww! Fingers crossed it's true! Because how awesome would that be?!

Of course, lay people often use formal photography to announce their little one's birth, but there's a case for using less polished, but more intimate family photos, too. They have a personal touch -- and for Kate and Wills to let us in that way and even go so far as to make those photos the official baby portrait is amazing.

Apparently, not everyone is a fan of the idea, though. HollywoodLife.com interviewed a royal source who explained that using home photos would be “fine for the private album,” but “not good for an historic first picture of a future monarch.” Pfft.

Who says? Maybe this is just one more way the royal couple wants to break with another stale, stuffy tradition and modernize the monarchy in a lovely way. If that is the case, more power to them.

Would you prefer to see a family photo or professional shot as the official royal baby portrait?

Kate Middleton and Royal Baby's First Portrait Is Just Plain Creepy (PHOTO)

dinsdag 16 juli 2013

The royal baby and mama Kate Middleton have already been immortalized on canvas! Spanish artist Kaya Mar dropped off his rather bizarre masterpiece at St. Mary's Hospital's Lindo Wing, where the future prince or princess is expected to be born.

Ah, but I know what you're thinking. How do you paint the portrait of a baby who isn't even here yet?

For Mar, that was pretty simple. He made Kate into a breastfeeding Madonna, complete with a giant halo around her head. Either he missed the whole debacle over whether or not the Duchess will breastfeed or he didn't care. I'm leaning toward option number two. 

Mar is just trying to get attention, and, well, he succeeded with one of the strangest baby portraits I think I've ever seen. Just look at it!

Come on Moms, is this what you'd want to gaze at to remember your time with baby?

What about the baby's, ahem, face? Breastfeeding is beautiful, but that's what a photograph is for. For an official portrait, you want to see what they look like!

Of course, that's not the only problem with this particular picture of the Duchess and her munchkin. The crown on the royal baby's head makes this look less like a sweet scene between mother and baby and more clownish. And Kate's troll body would surely crumble on those stick legs.

The best part of this portrait is the dog! He's rather adorable.

Maybe Mar should stick to pet pictures from now on?

Hopefully Kate and Wills get a REAL portrait done once the baby arrives ... one they wouldn't mind hanging in Windsor Castle.

What do you think of the first royal portrait of the royal baby?
