We rarely see Kate Middleton wearing strapless designs and her velvet dress was a sensational winter look

The Princess of Wales rarely wears anything strapless anymore, but her black velvet dress from 2011 was a sensational winter look.

The Princess of Wales’s signature style has always championed the best British clothing brands, timeless designs and tonal dressing, but it has shifted ever so slightly over the years. Tailored pieces are now staples in her wardrobe and she has moved away from wearing headbands in favour of hats and from knee-length hemlines. Another design detail we rarely see Kate embrace anymore are strapless tops and dresses, although she does occasionally dabble in wearing one-shoulder items.
