Kate Middleton in Kiyonna Style Lace Dress

The Duchess of Cambridge yet again proves she deserves her fashionista reputation at the premiere of War Horse last week where she affirmed her love affair with lace.

Shielded from the rain by her doting umbrella wielding husband, the former Kate Middleton looks every inch the royal wife. Sporting a sultry full length dress by Temperley paired with simple accessories to compliment the demure & sophisticated look.

If we didn't know better we would have said that Kate had been taking a peek at the lines by Kiyonna, stocked in the UK by Curvety.com. There is an uncanny resemblance to our own Analisa Lace Gown - check out the similarities with the deep scalloped V neckline, banded empire waist, bracelet length sleeves and glamorous lace overlay.

Hot Curves in Lace

Think boudoir and vintage-inspired for one of the season's biggest trends - lace. Shown in abundance on the catwalk ranging from a touch, to top to toe lace. Twenty8Twelve chose adorable lace sleeves, while Nanette Lepore showed lace-panelled dresses and blouses.

The look has proved popular with celebs with the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Mischa Barton both sporting sexy lace mini dresses which give a sultry appeal.

On the high street the lace trend has been widely used as it gives instant glam to your wardrobe and is versatile, suiting a multitude of styles, shapes & occasions.

For the plus size woman Curvety has embraced this trend and among other fantastic finds has the retro glam lace dress which gives an amazing twist on the black lace dress which is so popular at the minute. An ultra flattering sweetheart neckline and brooch detail satin tie waist finish the look perfectly.
