Nothing says royal baby quite like a Seraphine maternity dress – we were the preferred maternity brand of the Duchess of Cambridge throughout all three of her pregnancies after all!

Our Wool Maternity Coat in camel is also featured in the movie, which makes sense – the Duchess of Cambridge was a big fan of our maternity coats while she was pregnant.

She wore our Natasha Cashmere Blend Maternity Coat during both her second & third pregnancies. She also looked stunning in our Marina Maternity Coat as she arrived in New York at the start of her first official royal visit to the US.

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.

The Duchess of Cambridge Celebrates Her Birthday

This week Kate Middleton, The Duchess of Cambridge celebrated her 35th Birthday, and we thought we’d take the opportunity to look back at some of her best maternity fashion moments…

While expecting Princess Charlotte, the Duchess enjoyed a winter pregnancy and favoured Seraphine maternity coats and winter dresses for carrying out official public appearances.

 

 

Our Natasha Cashmere Blend Maternity Coat proved a firm favourite with The Duchess, who wore it out on several occasions, styling it with a matching floral dress. The luxurious blend of soft cashmere and springy virgin wool combined with the sleek elegant cut makes this a truly elegant outerwear option, perfect for everyday wear, or any smart occasion. The Daily Telegraph, Red Magazine and Tatler have all featured the style as one of her best fashion moments! 

 

The Duchess of Cambridge wears the Vanessa Turtleneck Maternity Dress

The Duchess made a stunning impression in our Vanessa Turtleneck Black Maternity Dress on her first official visit to New York. Styling the dress with a statement Cartier necklace, it was the perfect look for meeting and greeting the VIPs of the New York creative arts scene, including Jenna Lyons the CEO of J Crew, often known as the woman who dresses America.

While expecting Prince George, The Duchess’ style was all about keeping cool and comfortable in chic summer maternity dresses. She was due at the height of summer, and had a heatwave to contend with through her final weeks of pregnancy.

 

 

Here at Seraphine, we will never forget the moment we first saw those iconic first official pictures with Prince George. Taken by proud new Grandad Michael Middleton on a beautifully sunny day, The Duchess simply glowed in our Fuchsia Knot Front Maternity Dress.

 

The pictures made headline news across the globe and our little pink maternity dress became an instant style classic – a must-have for every mama’s wardrobe.

The Duchess loved the knotted style so much, she chose the Lavender Blossom Knot Front Maternity Dress for the drive home from the hospital with the new baby Prince.

 

 

Kate Middleton is a true style icon and we are honoured that she chose Seraphine maternity clothes through both of her pregnancies.
