When Michelle Obama [1] attended the United Nations Gallery Assembly wearing a Self-Portrait dress [2], all we could think was, "Yessss." The fashion crowd has been cheering on designer Han Chong since he got his start rolling out "naked" midis [3] and his Spring 2017 collection [4] was edgier than ever before.
But now Kate Middleton's showing her support, debuting a crisp white silhouette from the label at the London premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob [5]. At first glance, the duchess's maxi will remind you of a modest wedding gown [6]. But Kate's piece has a thigh-high slit and a peek-a-boo bodice that's playful, just like Ms. Obama's mixed media fit-and-flare.
Kate embellished her number with a ruby pin, a cranberry suede clutch, and matching heels. While her original Self-Portrait dress is no longer available, a similar style is shoppable in black [7], and there are plenty of alternative options to try, too. Read on to get inspired, then get in on the Self-Portrait craze.
