There's no doubt about it: Kate Middleton is one of the most gorgeous royal women there's been. She's also one of the tallest, and height just goes hand in hand with fashion — she has the perfect legs to make any dress, skirt, or coat look fitted and stunning. It's no wonder why the side-slit style looks so good on Kate. She's seen rocking it pretty often (and in every season).
Beauty isn't everything, though — Kate also does some serious work. She really doesn't get enough credit for running around the world in heels. The fact that, through all her charity and advocacy work, she still has time to put together a #look is majorly inspiring.
This is why we love Kate so much. It really seems as if she can do anything — including rocking side slits in any style. With all of her gorgeous coats and dresses, she's proven that this is one outfit detail she can't miss out on.
Blue Beauty
Not every single royal outfit has to be totally formal — sometimes a nice day dress says it all. Kate is looking totally classy in this adorable blue slit dress, which she dressed up a bit with a pair of nude heels. Despite the color, this look has us feeling anything but blue.
Premiere Pretty
Roll out the red carpet! Kate looked simply stunning at the UK premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob, largely due to her wardrobe choice. She always seems so picture-ready — the wind is even stylishly blowing her hair. The forces of beauty are always with Kate.
Simply Slit
Some things are just a fact: The grass is green, the sky is blue, and Kate Middleton looks amazing with a side slit, even when she's going for a more business casual look. She doesn't even have to be posing for a picture to come out perfect. She's just that good!
Darling Dotted
Dresses like these always make us think, "Why aren't there more polka dot dresses in the world?" The duchess truly makes the look, though. That high collar with those long legs have us super jealous, and the fact that the dress is otherwise covering everything up really makes the slit stand out.
Regal Fame
Kate has proven that she doesn't need a red carpet in order to attract anyone's attention — her fabulous sense of style gets her plenty of recognition on its own. Whether it's a dinner party or a full-blown ball, Kate's always got the right looks.
Double Trouble
What's better than one side slit? Two side slits! The buttons on both her top and skirt were already stylish enough, but the even slits on both sides add a whole new level of flair to this look. And it's pretty clear that this duchess never skips leg day at the gym.
Sunday Service
Happy Easter! Here Kate visited St. Andrew's Cathedral for Easter Sunday Service in Sydney, Australia. Even though she and Prince William were touring, it didn't stop them from celebrating the holiday (and looking the part).
Gorgeous Green
It's easy being green — especially with such a fashionable dress. In addition to being the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate is also the queen of green, something she's proven every March for as long as we can remember. That St. Patrick's Day slit makes us seriously green with envy.
Grand Entrance
Although it may be slightly overwhelming, it must be nice for Kate to have a million people waiting to get a glimpse of her beautiful self and to find out what she's wearing that day. Who could blame them? Everyone is looking for fashion inpso — and she's definitely got it.
Wedding Wear
The 2009 wedding of Nicholas Van Cutsem and Alice Hadden-Paton was full of bright dressers. One of which was Kate, of course, and she managed to pull it off while still looking elegant. The side slit is one thing, but that color blue (and that hat) are simply to die for!
Ravishing Red
Kate always has a way of looking radiant in red. This fact is boosted by her appearance at a hospital when she was pregnant with Prince Louis. Red is already her color, but that side-slit coat definitely kicks up her outfit a notch.
Jingle Belles
Christmas may be over, but it doesn't mean that the side-slit trend has to end. The Duchess of Cambridge and little Princess Charlotte look lovely as they walk together on the holiday. For those not brave enough to rock a side-slit dress, a coat will do.
Fashion Cadet
Attention, fashion soldiers! Which one of us has the moxie to rock a side slit like the Duchess of Cambridge, regardless of the weather or the occasion? Whether it's a coat or dress, showing a little extra leg can be so classy. Kate proves it right here.
Arm in Arm
These two are just perfect for each other. We all know that Kate is the queen (duchess) of fashion, but it's great that William also gets dressy. Together, they can take the streets in any town, in anything, and always look like a flawless pair.
Cricket Cute
Who said side slits were just a dress thing? Kate made sure to dress for the occasion when she visited Pakistan with William. There's nothing more British than playing a game of cricket and being super fashionable while doing so, of course.
A Solemn Occasion
Attending the service of Thanksgiving for her late grandfather-in-law Prince Philip in 2022 was the right time to wear a black dress, but since the family was also celebrating Philip's life, the polka dots seemed appropriate. And given how buttoned up the rest of her look was, the slit in the skirt was a nice touch.
