The Duchess of Cambridge Meets the Woman Who Dresses America

With so much style in one room, we’re still reeling from the result!

Jenna wore a stunning sequinned top over a chic pinstriped shirt, rocking her signature slicked back hair and geek-chic glasses. While The Duchess looked effortlessly glamorous in our Black Turtleneck Vanessa Maternity Dress, which she styled with a stunning Cartier necklace.

 

The Duke & Duchess of Cambridge at the GREAT Reception

 

Fashion Designer Jenna Lyons is the Creative Director & President of US fashion giant J Crew, and also holds a coveted position on the board of directors on the Council of Fashion Designers of America.

Our Fuchsia Knot Front Maternity Dress, which Kate Middleton wore in the first official pictures with Prince George is the perfect example!

 

 

When it comes to fashion influence, the two are fairly evenly matched! The Duchess’s classic elegance and Jenna’s edgy chic made for a fantastic fashion contrast when they met at New York’s NeueHouse at the Creativity is GREAT Reception. Both women were in attendance at the event to celebrate British talent in the creative industries, including music, film, fashion and art.

Meet the Maternity Dress Every Princess Wants to Wear

What do The Duchess of Cambridge, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Princess Sofia of Sweden all have in common? … Aside from being Princesses of course … the answer is the Seraphine Pleated Maternity Dress!

Princess Sofia of Sweden is the latest royal to fall for our elegant pleated dress, joining her sister-in-law Crown Princess Victoria, and The Duchess of Cambridge. We are thrilled that our navy dress has such a glamorous royal fan club, and it is wonderful to see how each Princess has styled the dress to suit her own personal look.

 

 

Princess Sofia

Princess Sofia, who is renowned for her fashionable looks, teamed the navy maternity dress with our Ivory Cropped Peplum Jacket for a meeting with UN ambassadors. She defined her empire waist with a smart self-tie belt and the overall contrast of navy and white brought a fresh touch to the trendy combo.

 


 

This isn’t the only Seraphine style that Sofia loves, she also wore our Striped Stretch Cotton Maternity Shirt to meet with business leaders earlier this month.

 

 

Crown Princess Victoria

Crown Princess Victoria let the dress do all the talking, adding just a clutch, a stylish pair of navy court shoes and some statement earrings as she welcomed Nobel Peace Prize winners to the royal palace in Stockholm.

 

 

Victoria, who welcomed her second child Prince Oscar earlier this month was a fan of Seraphine maternity wear throughout her pregnancy, commissioning several bespoke outfits for special occasions and choosing a selection of our Luxe Maternity Dresses for official royal engagements. She particularly loved our Bubble Print Maternity Dress, which she wore several times throughout her 9 months.

 

 

The Duchess of Cambridge

The Duchess of Cambridge kept the dress under wraps when she wore it for a royal engagement last winter while expecting Princess Charlotte. She displayed her signature style and grace, pairing it with a long dress coat and heels. Of course the Duchess has a well known preference for Seraphine maternity clothes; she looked stunning in our Fuchsia Knot Front Maternity Dress in the first official pictures with Prince George, and favoured our maternity coats while expecting Princess Charlotte.

 

 

It is always wonderful when royals favour Seraphine maternity clothes, but to have three Princesses all choose the same dress is a huge honour.

From Rock Stars to Royalty – Everyone Finds their Style at Seraphine!

What do Shakira, Carrie Underwood, The Saturdays’ Una Foden, and The Duchess of Cambridge all have in common? It’s Seraphine of course! All of these super stylish mums-to-be have been recently spotted looking stunning in Seraphine maternity clothes, proving that everyone from rock stars to royalty finds their style at Seraphine.

Rock Star Maternity Style

For all you rock star mums out there, these glamorous mamas-to-be provide the perfect fashion inspiration. Take a leaf out of country singing sensation Carrie Underwood’s style book with one of our  gorgeous bodycon maternity dresses in a daring graphic print – she rocked it with flowing locks and heels for a TV appearance.

If you’re after an even edgier look, our faux-leather leggings loved by Gwen Stefani are a rock star style essential! Former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt styled them with the Seraphine nursing shawl  – managing to look both glamorous and cosy at a London premier. And The Saturdays’ Una Foden teamed them with our Black Sheer Flutter Nursing Top, completing the chic black ensemble with a long line shearling gilet and ankle boots.

And how does an expectant rock star prepare for the cold? It has to be black cashmere, like Shakira who rocked our Black Wool & Cashmere Maternity Coat this December! Talk about rock chic style – these mamas have got it nailed!

The Duchess of Cambridge maternity style

If you aspire for a more regal maternity style, you need look no further than The Duchess of Cambridge herself! The Duchess made headlines the world over in 2013, when she chose the Seraphine Fuchsia Knot Front Maternity Dress for the first official photographs with Prince George. And now well into her second pregnancy, the royal style icon has been opting for Seraphine again. She made her New York debut in the subtly sparkling Seraphine Marina coat, and chose our Roll Neck Vanessa Dress to attend a gala on the official US royal visit back in November.

And last year while expecting her first baby, The Duke’s cousin Zara Phillips chose our Colour Block Silk Maxi Gown to attend one of the most glamorous events on the social calendar – the Boodles Boxing Ball.

 

So there you have it, whether you’re a rock star or a royal at heart, you are sure to find styles you love at Seraphine.
