6U * USA TODAY THE ENQUIRER SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 9, 2014 4THE NAVY-BLUE SMYTHE BLAZER: This may be the most- often-seen piece of clothing in Kate’s closet, a one-button schoolboy- style blazer from the upper-crust brand (about $600). But J Crew has a similar blaz- er for about a third of the price: Navy School- boy Blazer, $198 at jcrew.com. 8THE ECCENTRIC FASCINATOR: They might be the most British items in Kate’s wardrobe: those quirky fascinators perched on her head, not quite a full- blown chapeau but more than a headband. Often, they’re meant to signal something, like this red one by Sylvia Fletcher in the shape of a maple leaf that Kate wore on her visit to Canada in 2011 (Fletcher’s creations typically go for more than $300 apiece). But vintage website ModCloth has a whole page of fascinators for sale to game Americans, including this one in rouge for a fraction of Kate’s version: Tilt the End of Time Fascinator, $29.99 at ModCloth.com. 1 THE ENGAGEMENT WRAP DRESS: When the long-await- ed announcement of Kate Middleton’s engagement to Prince William came in November 2010, she wore an attractive navy-blue wrap silk dress by the London- based brand Issa. In- stantly, the dress flashed around the world; almost as instantly, it sold out, even though it cost nearly $1,000. Soon there were many copies. To this day, the Issa dress is still for sale, as are even more versions. This stretch rayon jersey dress, the New Jeanne Two by Diane von Furstenberg, is $325 at Nordstrom.com. 5THE TEMPERLEY LONDON ODELE COAT: We know Kate owns this leather and sheepskin coat because there are blurry paparazzi shots of her wearing it (about $3,750 originally). But Via Spiga has produced a similar coat with faux leather and sheepskin for way less: Via Spiga Faux Leather and Faux Fur Collar Coat, $278 at Bloomingdales.com. 2THE TEMPERLEY LONDON CUTOUT DRESS: Kate’s most recent dress standout, worn last month to a gala after her recovery from another bout of morning sickness, was Alice Temperley’s Em- blem Flare Dress (about $1,000) with cutout panels inspired by stained- glass ironwork and woven from cotton-blend yarn over a nude slip. Calvin Klein has a similar laser-cut sheath dress: $79.99 at lordandtaylor.com. FASHION Duchess Kate fans call them “RepliKates” or “Copy-Kates.” A number of blogs track in detail what Duchess Kate of Cambridge wears whenev- er she appears in public; they also tell readers where to find exact replicas or very similar items at lower prices and at stores closer to home. USA TODAY’s Maria Puente shares some of the fa- vorite examples of Christine OBrien, founder of the American blog WhatWouldKateDo.com. 7KATE’S “GRACE” DIAMOND EARRINGS: These round white topaz and diamond baubles in 18-carat gold by Kiki McDonough (about $1,200) are popular with Repli- Kators, OBrien says. One alterna- tive: These cubic zirconia studs: Nadri Cubic Zirconia Stud Ear- rings, $32.30 at Nordstrom.com. 3TALL SUEDE BOOTS: On a visit to her old school in November 2012, Kate sur- prised everyone when she took to the field to play a little field hockey while wearing high-heeled black suede boots, later identified as Aq- uatalia Rhumba Boots (about $700). But Vince Camuto has a similar pair, the Emip Boots with 4-inch heels, for $198 at VinceCamuto.com. 6THE LK BENNETT NUDE PLATFORM PUMPS: Another accessory frequently seen on Kate, these elegant and versatile “court” pumps by a favorite British brand originally cost about $350. But many brands brought out their own, including Stuart Weitzman; they’re only slightly less expensive but come in two other colors. Stuart Weitzman “Platswoon” Pump, $340, StuartWeitzman.com.
