There's no better reason to wear something fancy than for a classy shindig. Luckily, for the royal family, these seem to be plentiful. In fact, royal family members are expected to dress up -- it's actually part of the rules! Even though there are rules in place, though, it doesn't mean that the royals can't dress in their own style. For instance, it seems Kate Middleton absolutely loves anything decorated with lace -- and to boot, she looks amazing in it! Seriously -- as if she hadn't achieved enough real-life fairy tale clout.

We can't help but be jealous of her wardrobe!

That's why we've made a whole dedication to the Duchess of Cambridge and her lacy looks. It's not like we haven't been envious of her closet before -- the colors she coordinates into every outfit seems pretty fit for royalty! It's a fashion quirk that Queen Elizabeth has, and we get the feeling she's picked up on it. Aside from the broad array of colors she rocks, we just adore those big-hatted getups -- the ones made for a tea party (obviously).

It seems as if there's no one more fashionable than Kate -- although she appears to have some pretty stiff competition. Meghan Markle was just acclaimed for her "powerful" wardrobe. Honestly, they've got a point -- but there's no need for pitting them against each other! At the end of the day, it's all about the lace -- and royals just can't seem to get enough of it. We know we can't either, and that's why we've picked out our top lacy Kate pics!

Where would the royals be without these fancy hats? The fact that it also matches her robin's egg dress is just too perfect. This is one of our favorite examples of how Kate Middleton makes lace look even classier than it is.

Kate Middleton knows exactly how to combine classy with chic. This long, cerulean gown is already a fancy number on its own, but the lace on the waist and sleeves gives it an extra bump of personality. Fabulous!

Is it just us, or does Kate look exactly like Grand Duchess Anastasia here? They both have a lot in common, aside from one being an animated princess. Lace just seems to bring out Kate's inner fairy tale look.

The Duchess of Cambridge is seriously slaying in purple. It is a historically royal color, after all! It doesn't seem as if the rain is getting to Kate. We wouldn't be pouting either if we had a wardrobe that lovely.

We're still not over how ornate the design on this dress is. There seem to be some seriously talented designers across the pond. We could spend all day wondering how much her dresses cost -- or we could do the easier thing and just enjoy them.

Whether Kate is wearing lace or not, the one thing she does always seem to be wearing is a smile. She's as sweet as a peach -- and the same color suits her. We would give anything to have one ounce of the style Kate does!

The white in this dress is so bright, it almost makes the dress look like it's black. A closer look will reveal its true color, though, as a deep, mesmerizing blue. There's so much to love about this look, we can't even name all it all!
