I agree. She looks well-groomed, not beautiful, but very polished. Which comes from having excess time and money to spend on yourself. A big leap from her gap year pics though, I'm kind of surprised she wasn't as "polished" looking back then (for example, the bushy brows and un-made up face) because she certainly had the money.

^Weren't those last two pics posted by hilal from her gap year in Florence? I think she did part of it in Florence to learn about art or something, then also did something in Chile, something like what William did there, though with a different organization.

I have a lot of old pics of Kate on my photobucket. I'll start with 2005.

I think she has a better starting point than all the current Crown princess of Europe, who are cute, yet not gr8 beauties, but some have become especially attractive.

I do agree with you, Auntie. She came to the limelight at a much younger age than all the current crown princesses and she's already got poise and elegance, apart from obvious beauty.

I like the dress at the Boodles Boxing Ball much better that that pink one she wore to the charity boxing match with William. The color is great and the cut is much more flattering.

The charity boxing match Catherine attended this year wearing the pink dress was the Boodles Boxing Ball for 2008. She wore the turquoise dress to the Boodles Boxing Ball for 2006.

It's quite a natural picture, isn't it? She looks like she doesn't have much or any make-up on, yet there's a lot of style there.

CasiraghiTrio · #33 06-25-2008, 04:09 PM

I think she her looks are pleasant and photogenic. Perhaps not "beautiful," but still pretty enough. To me, her prettiness is undoubted, but still very average, very ordinary, like the kind of attractive 20-something girl I see everyday on the street.
