Apr 29, 2021 by apost team

The last few weeks have been heavy for the royal family, with the Queen's husband Prince Philip passing away at the age of 99 on April 9. Just over one week later his funeral took place on April 17, marked by a much smaller ceremony than usual, due to current restrictions. At the official ceremony, the royal family was reunited with Prince Harry for the first time since he and Meghan Markle released their controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey back in March.

Although the family has just finished the official two-week mourning period following the Duke of Edinburgh's death, there have been a few small reasons to celebrate. During the last week, the Queen turned 95, which she did so quietly and without public celebrations, while her great-grandson, Prince Louis, turned 3 on April 23. To celebrate his birthday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge released a new official portrait of the young prince, which was taken by his mother Kate Middleton.

Now, on April 29, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have further reason to celebrate, as they mark a significant milestone in their relationship as they celebrate their 10th wedding anniversary. To think it's been 10 years since their iconic and memorable royal wedding that was seen across the entire world.

In honor of their 10th wedding anniversary, we've compiled images of the times when the Duchess of Cambridge has looked absolutely gorgeous in bridal white. Ever the stylish trendsetter, Middleton always puts her best foot forward when stepping out, and these looks are no different.

Still in our hearts, the Duchess of Cambridge's absolutely stunning wedding gown, which was designed by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen, still brings a tear to our eyes. Featuring lace sleeves and neckline, a sweetheart bodice, and an incredibly regal long train, Kate Middleton looked like a real fairy tale princess on her wedding day.

When the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge visited the vaccination center at Westminster Abbey — which is also the location of their wedding — on March 23, 2021, Middleton donned a demure cream Catherine Walker coat with scalloped edges. The color lent the outfit a fresh and hopeful meaning and signaled the incoming spring.

Six years after her wedding, Middleton wore another Alexander McQueen dress embellished with lace, this time for the Royal Ascot in 2017. The knee-length dress perfectly shows off her slender figure, while a matching fascinator and drop earrings complete the striking look.

One of the times Middleton opted for Hollywood glam, her stunning crisp white Alexander McQueen gown was fit for a movie starlet. Featuring a one-shouldered design with intricate detailing, the light and airy look was completed with a low chignon and exquisite earrings which she'd borrowed from her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's collection.

For the Wimbledon tennis championships in 2012, the Duchess of Cambridge took a cheeky leap of faith when she wore this playful sailor-inspired dress as she joined Prince William in the royal box. The dress is still very chic but features a cute nautical design to keep things interesting.

While on a royal trip to Poland in 2017, Middleton donned a chic yet powerful skirt suit while appearing in Warsaw for the day. Another Alexander McQueen design, she styled the look with a contrasting red clutch bag.

For 2020's BAFTA Awards, which took place at London's Royal Albert Hall, the duchess took the event's theme of sustainability to heart and decided to re-wear one of her iconic Alexander McQueen gowns. This white-and-gold frock was first worn by her in 2012, and by recycling the look she proved that sustainability isn't just cool, it's incredibly fashionable too.

While on a royal trip to India with Prince William, Middleton wore a simple but striking white dress, complete with military-style detailing on the top. A very classic cut, the dress's crisp lines and pockets lend it an incredibly modern feel.

For the movie premiere of "A Street Cat Named Bob" in 2016, Middleton went with a stark white gown which contrasted beautifully with the deep red carpet. The gown featured a fully pleated skirt and a geometric-patterned lace top, which made it truly one of a kind.

Middleton attended the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in 2019 and took a page from fellow royal Sophie Wessex's book by turning to one of her favorite designers — Suzannah. The gorgeous classic silhouette features a contrasting white-and-black detail, which the duchess extended to her choice of footwear. 

The Duchess of Cambridge wore this stunning Barbara Casasola off-the-shoulder dress on two separate occasions. The first was when she presented the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2016 prize, which took place at the Victoria & Albert Museum, while the second time she recycled it for a charity gala dinner in 2019.

Once again wearing white to contrast with a movie premiere red carpet, this gown from 2013 was designed by Roland Mouret. The long and sleek dress fits her beautifully, while black accessories and a chunky jeweled necklace give the outfit a modern edge.

On a royal trip to Australia and New Zealand in 2014, Middleton wore a unique knee-length dress with interesting cut-out details on the sleeves and peplum. The modern look was completed with black accessories.

Looking sharp on a royal trip to Belgium in 2017, the duchess paired a modern cream-colored coat dress with a matching fascinator for the Passchendaele Commemorations, which she attended with Prince William. Taupe heels complete the look.

In a more casual look, Middleton paired a white shirt and blazer with classic navy pleated pants. The outfit is the perfect example of desk-to-daywear chic and proves that the duchess can just as easily nail a casual look as well as she does a formal one.
