Button-down dresses aside, Kate Middleton has also opted for a very deliberate thigh-high split in the past. In fact, when she attended the 2016 premiere for the film, “A Street Cat Named Bob,” she had a bit of a Marilyn Monroe moment.
Though the dress was stunning in itself, many a royal watcher was surprised by this particular choice — and a number of publications noted that it was relatively racy for the then-duchess. Granted, the fact that there was a slit in the dress was far from the only reason the look made the news. Funnily enough, as was reported by Glamour at the time, none other than Paris Hilton donned the same dress the next day. The two women aren’t usually lumped into the same category, style-wise, which made the twinning moment even more surprising. But, in a testament to just how gorgeous the gown was (and, y’know, the fact that both Middleton and Paris could pull off potato sacks), both looked incredible.
Hey, Paris’s sister Nicky Hilton married her husband, James Rothschild at Kensington Palace, AKA Middleton’s turf. That means they’re basically family, right? Who knows, maybe Middleton loaned it to Hilton after wearing it, herself.
