Victoria & Kate Middleton Have Similar Taste in Fashion

Kate Middleton and Victoria Beckham are friends that have similar fashion preferences, with one focusing on a conservative flair while the other goes for glamorous and sexy.



Their British nationality, fame and friendship aren't just the only things Kate Middleton and Victoria Beckham share. The two famed icons seem to have similar taste in fashion, only differing on how they present their looks. The Duchess of Cambridge has a regal, royal style - with spectator hats, perfectly blow-dried hair, and a huge smile to always complement her look. On the other hand, Victoria Beckham is known for her edgy designer style, with cuts and silhouettes that usually command the trends of today.



Despite having different takes on how they lay out their looks, the two have numerous similar outfits that seem like they had it made to follow their personality. One perfect example is the Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen evening wedding dress the Duchess wore that had a fur bolero to cover her up. The "posh" version is a white skin-tight satin dress in an event, which had fur details on its back.



Another style signature they share is their choices of colors. No one can forget the light yellow dress Kate wore during the Royal Couple's North American tour, and it had the same hue as Victoria Beckham's dress she wore for the 2008 ESPY Awards. When dressing down, Kate is known to adore boots, pastels and shades, the same kind of comfortable clothing Victoria is known to don.

Victoria Beckham at ASOS.com??

No, no, no, don’t get too excited. Posh is not designing for ASOS, but the British mega store has created a line of dresses that are exact, yes exact, replicas of Ms. Beckham’s threads. I mean, is this legal?

Some of Posh’s most classic looks are duplicated in amazingly chic color choices at ridiculously reasonable prices. The simple lines, the modern edge, the subtle femininity-it’s all there.

My personal favorite is the Ponti Pencil Dress in Empress Purple but then again, there is the Peplum Pencil Dress that is also TDF. How does one choose when the wardrobe of fashion royalty is at our fingertips?


These dresses are investment pieces, without the major investment. They can go from office to drinks, wedding to upscale date night. Or if you are really in the Posh kind of mood, you can wear them on the airplane with your three (almost four!) kids in tow with 4 inch heels…bring it!

The possibilities for these dresses are endless. The best part is, the sophisticated lines in classic colors make these dresses timeless. This will be your go-to dress for all occasions, time and time again.

ASOS even has a “Victoria Beckham” tab that allows you to search all of her looks and even some similar accessories. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel, you just can’t miss. Take your pick ladies, effortless style is at your fingertips!

NOTE: David Bechkham not included!

Golden Globes Red Dress Deja Vu

Last night, while I was watching the red carpet appearances at the Golden Globes and then the awards ceremony, I couldn't help but get a sense of deja vu when I saw January Jones in her show stopping red dress. I was thinking to myself, where have I seen this before, and then I remembered that Victoria wore something very similar back in 2005 to Elton John's wedding.

Is it just me or does January's Versace dress and Victoria's Cavalli bear striking similarities? Not necessarily from the runway pictures... but I can definitely see them when I look at the two stars dressed in red side by side! Does anyone else see this as well?

Style Inspiration: Dinner at Claridges Meets Fashion Week

As I was looking at photos of the Clardiges dinner from a few nights ago, I couldn't help but think that both Tana and Louise drew a bit of style inspiration from Victoria's looks during Fashion Week when choosing their outfits. For example, Tana's black leather pants, Louboutins, white top, and blazer ensemble reminded me a lot of Victoria's outfit she wore to The View back in September. Louise's outfit, particularly her shirt, brings back memories of Victoria's rocker chic Isabel Marant look for dinner after her spring 2011 presentation.

Who Wore it Better: Victoria or Kim Kardashian?

These Christian Louboutin Altaboutin boots are one of my favorites from his fall 2010 collection. Typically, when I lust after a pair of shoes, as time goes by, they always pop up on Victoria. She was the first celebrity, that I can recall anyway, to wear these out and several, including Miley Cyrus and Christina Aguilera, soon followed.

Since then, of course Kim Kardashian has been spotted wearing them (honestly it seems like Kim is more or less style stalking VB lately). She wore them yesterday while out to lunch with Ciara in NYC.

So who wore them better? For me, even though I'm not a huge fan of cut-offs and boots, Victoria wins this hands down. It's too much leather on leather with Kim.

Kim Kardashian Praises Victoria Beckham and Follows in her Footsteps

Reality TV starlet Kim Kardashian loves Victoria Beckham's dresses. She said she often struggles to find outfits which flatter her curvaceous figure, but that VB's dresses are ideal for her shapely behind and busty frame.

"Victoria Beckham's totally my style icon. I wear her dresses constantly. There are some clothes out there I just can’t wear because of my body type. I definitely can’t wear short shorts! They’re not flattering! I also can’t wear anything too baggy, because being busty on top, looser fitting dresses almost make me look pregnant. I need to wear more fitted outfits. That’s why I love Victoria’s dresses so much - because they are so fitted and flattering for my body. I wear them all the time. I was so exited when Victoria Tweeted me. I’ve met her once. We have some friends in common, she’s very sweet.”

I don't know about you all but I only remember her in one VB dress... the black one photographed here that she wore to the InStyle party a few months ago.

Anyway, in other related news, it has been reported that Kim is following closely in Victoria's footsteps as far as Hermes bags are concerned. If you recall I did a post where I compared VB to KK and how I feel that Kim is often inspired by her and it looks like Victoria's Hermes collection is one of the main sources of inspiration.

It has been reported this week that while enjoying Europe with her mother, the duo stopped off in Paris where Kim dropped over $100,000 in an Hermes store. Apparently she bought 6 $10,000 Birkin bags and spent a whopping $30,000 on the orange over sized Kelly photographed above. Must be nice to be famous for no real reason and be getting paid astronomical amounts of money for it!

Style Inspiration...

After doing the recent post about Kim Kardashian wearing VB to the InStyle party, I couldn't help but think about all of the other times I've seen her out looking as if she's taken a bit of style inspiration from Victoria. So... I made a list of the various things the two of them have in common....

Example #1: The Bentleys
We all know that the Beckhams drive only the nicest automobiles and they love to customize them. For example, Victoria's Bentley Continental GT convertible is completely monogrammed with her initials... right down to the tires. After the Kim became a household name, her paycheck must have increased because she now drives the same Bentley as Victoria... and look at that - the same monogramming on the seats (except hers is a different color).

Example #2: The Range Rovers
Both the Beckhams and Kardashians are huge fans of Land Rover cars - especially the Range Rover. Victoria's newest addition to her car collection is a custom Range Rover Sport done completely in black. Kim also has a new addition to her collection - a Supercharged Range Rover... also done completely in black.

Example #3: The Hermes Birkin Collection
Out of all of the celebrities out there, if you mention Hermes (specifically a Birkin) one name is surely going to spring to mind - Victoria Beckham. Mrs. B has an enormous collection of the luxury handbags and it looks like Kim has jumped on the bandwagon as well. Kim now owns 4 Birkin bags.

Example #4: The Designer Shoe Addiction
Like any other girls, both Victoria and Kim are shoe addicts with a fine taste for high end designers. The two share several pairs in common (from L to R): Brian Atwood Maniac pumps, YSL Tribtoo pumps in both black and pale gray, Jil Sander D'Orsay pumps, Jimmy Choo Lance sandals, and finally the Fendi peep toes.

Example #5: Sunglasses

Kim and Victoria love their sunglasses and there seems to be one brand that they both adore - dVb. They both own the rose tinted aviators and the #3 pairs.

Example #6: Similar Styles

I've already mentioned my praise for Kim's street style ever since she's been working with Monica Rose... but I've also noticed that some of her outfits have a little Posh working.

So there's my ranting about the similarities between Victoria Beckham and Kim Kardashian. If you think of any others, leave a comment or an email!
