Seraphine Founder Cecile Reinaud Talks About Dressing Royalty & A-Listers

Ever wanted to take a look inside the wardrobes of the glamorous and famous? Well this week, Seraphine founder Cecile Reinaud was interviewed for an ITVBe documentary which offered a sneak peek inside the wardrobe of one of the biggest style icons of our time – The Duchess of Cambridge!

 

Watch the Video

 

Cecile Reinaud was interviewed alongside other celebrity stylists and royal fashion experts to give her insights for ITVBe’s exclusive new documentary, Kate’s Wardrobe Secrets.

 

 

Speaking from the Seraphine head office in Notting Hill, Cecile opened up about what it was like to dress the Duchess through her pregnancy, sharing her memories of the day that those beautiful first official pictures with Prince George were released – The Duchess smiling and looking utterly radiant in our signature knotted dress.

You can buy the Duchess’s famous Fuchsia Knotted Maternity Dress or her Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress here.

 

 

Here at Seraphine, we are known for dressing all the top Hollywood celebrities through their pregnancies – everyone from Gwen Stefani, Anne Hathaway and Mila Kunis to Kate Winslet, Jessica Alba and Marion Cotillard are fans of our maternity clothes. But none of these stars has anything like the same selling power as the Duchess. Cecile shares her insights as to why this might be:

“Kate is an icon – she’s almost like a myth, so everybody wants a little piece of that Princess fairy tale. By buying what she’s wearing, you get that fairy tale in your wardrobe, and I think that is why the Kate effect is so strong and unparalleled by any other celebrities.”

 

 

The Duchess of Cambridge invested in Seraphine styles several times throughout both of her pregnancies, choosing flattering summer maternity dresses while she was expecting Prince George, and classic maternity coats through her winter pregnancy with Princess Charlotte. The Marina Maternity Coat was a particular favourite of hers, which she chose for her iconic arrival in New York on the royal couple’s first official visit to the States.

Royal Baby Number Two – Style Must Haves For Second Time Mamas!

Huge congratulations to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who have announced this week that they are expecting their second baby!

It seems like just yesterday that the eyes of the world were fixed on the Lindo Wing doors waiting for news of the royal baby. So we can hardly believe that 1 year old George, already quite the little Prince Charming, is going to be a big brother!

As with last time, the royal couple are likely to keep us guessing as to whether we’ll be getting a new little prince or a little princess, so we’ll just have to wait and see. We think George will make a great big brother, but we’ll be interested to see how he takes to sharing the limelight.

Shop the Polka Dot Dress

Second pregnancies tend to be a very different experience to the first. This time you are not only sharing this special time with your partner, but also with your older child! Though you may have less time now, in many ways the second pregnancy will be more relaxed as you’ll have a clearer idea of how everything works, and there’ll be no first time jitters to contend with.

 Shop the Grey Skinny Maternity Jeans

The second time around, your bump is likely to show earlier than last time, so the second pregnancy is the time to really embrace your new curves! You will have spent your first pregnancy experimenting with maternity clothes and figuring out which styles work for you, so now you’ll be prepared to make the most of this time. With the knowledge and confidence gained from last time, you can build your maternity wardrobe with confidence and look fabulous through pregnancy!

 

 

Style must-haves for second time mums:

Maternity jeans – super stylish, and perfect for running around after your eldest

Maternity dresses – opt for bump-hugging styles to make the most of your new curves

A long cardigan – to keep you cosy and disguise your bump in the early stages

Horizontal stripes – choose striped tops and jumpers to flatter your growing figure

Shop the striped jumper

We have no doubt that Kate will sail through this pregnancy with her usual grace and style, and cant’ wait to see how she updates her maternity look the second time around. If you love style watching and trend spotting as much as we do, check out Whatkatewore.com for the latest insider info.
