She's one of the most famous women in the world, so it's no surprise Kate Middleton, now The Princess of Wales, always looks so put together and lovely.

Not only do we love Kate Middleton's hair, but she also has a wardrobe to die for, from ball gowns to coats, she's always looking perfect for every occasion. Her sense of style has often be compared to that of her mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Here she is in the official photographs taken to celebrate her recent 40th birthday looking ever-so elegant.

To celebrate some of our favourite Kate Middleton outfits, we've put together a gallery of some of her best fashion moments, from her engagement dress to the show stopping dress she wore for the James Bond premier.

We love that most of Kate's outfits are one's she has worn previously, and this Oscar De La Renta peplum two-piece is no exception. She paired the bright outfit with some Gianvito Rossi heels and a black Aspinal clutch bag.

Engagement dress

Here she is the iconic navy dress she wore when the Royal family announced the engagement of her and Prince William. It was the perfect dress to match Diana's famous sapphire ring and it was no surprise when it sold out shortly after the press conference.
