Cat Deeley has adopted a style that many observers note is reminiscent of Catherine, Princess of Wales, particularly in her recent on-screen appearances on the British television program 'This Morning.' According to reports, Deeley's stylist, Rachael Hughes, was specifically tasked in September with emulating the Princess of Wales's fashion choices.
Both women have been seen favoring polka dot dresses, a print historically worn by Princess Diana and a recurring choice for the Princess of Wales. Deeley has recently worn polka dot ensembles from brands like Mint Velvet and Zara, with one Zara co-ord noted as similar to a dress worn by Kate Middleton at Royal Ascot in 2022.
The oversized blue shirt is another item shared in their wardrobes. Deeley was seen in an M&S two-tone shirt paired with wide-leg jeans, highlighting an elevated basic. The Princess of Wales has also worn an oversized boyfriend shirt from WNU (With Nothing Underneath) on public engagements.
Pussybow blouses also appear to be a staple for both. Deeley has been photographed in styles from Holland Cooper, ME+EM, and Mint Velvet, including a burgundy ME+EM design worn with matching trousers. The Princess of Wales also owns this ME+EM style, having worn it with a tailored Alexander McQueen coat and Gianvito Rossi boots.
Tailored Suits and Casual Accessories
In recent years, the Princess of Wales has increasingly opted for tailored trouser suits, a trend Deeley appears to have embraced as well. Deeley has been seen in a Zara suit with a double-breasted blazer and wide-leg trousers that evoke 1970s tailoring, similar to the styles Kate has worn, including a notable chartreuse Victoria Beckham suit.
Small accessories also align in their fashion choices. Deeley was seen wearing Orelia's Chain Huggie Hoops, earrings that are also a frequent accessory for the Princess of Wales. The gold-plated hoops are a popular choice, worn by Kate at over 10 royal engagements.
Knitted dresses are another item in their shared style repertoire. Deeley's Reiss Harriet ribbed dress, in a khaki shade with gold button detailing, is a versatile piece. The Princess of Wales is known to favor knitted dresses in classic hues.
Fair Isle knitwear has also been noted. Deeley wore a festive red Fair Isle jumper from Boden, a brand the Princess of Wales has also championed. Both women are seen in heritage knitwear, with Deeley also wearing styles from The White Company and Barbour, and Kate regularly rotating Fair Isle jumpers from Holland Cooper.
