If you're old enough to remember fashion in the '80s and the '90s, you know that wearing velvet was a thing. Well, it's back, thanks to Kate Middleton. The Duchess of Cambridge showed off her toned arms Monday night in a strapless black velvet gown by Alexander McQueen, USA Today reports.
Kate was all decked out (along with William and Harry) for the "Night of Heroes: The Sun Military Awards," sponsored by The Sun tabloid at the Imperial War Museum in London. The dress reportedly cost more than $6,600, and was very similar to one that Princess Diana wore 30 years ago:
"...I am so glad Kate is finally wearing black: it's a sign she has grown up," The Daily Mail's fashion director Liz Jones raved. "...Comparisons will inevitably be drawn between this dress and the 1981 black satin strapless gown by the Emanuels worn by Diana, but the difference is Diana then was not woman enough to carry it off. She still looked like a little girl. You need to be womanly to carry off black, and this dress tells me there is something different about Kate already. She has matured, and she looks sexy... probably for the first time."
Hmm ... we think Kate has been looking sexy for quite some time, but that's another matter. We're kind of excited that she's bringing velvet "back." How about you?

Kate looks great though and as a British woman myself i'm glad she always looks so nice because it proves that not all british women are crooked toothed hags as I feel we are often portrayed!
