The newest royal trend: lace dresses!

This is a royal trend Duchess Catherine, Queen Letizia and Princess Mary can't live without!

If you’re a Princess, a Duchess, a Queen or any other sort of royal women in this modern age, there is one thing you absolutely need in your wardrobe.

And no, it isn’t a tiara!

It’s the ever versatile long-sleeved lace dress.

The perfect balance between sexy and classy, with a touch of sophistication, the lace dress is a stable of every Princess’ outfit.

Just look at Duchess Catherine, who mostly definitely knows the importance of the lace dress.

The Duchess was spotted out yesterday looking perfectly regal in a plum Dolce & Gabbana dress with a high neckline.

But don’t be so surprised! It’s a long standing royal tradition.
