When Dolce & Gabbana dressed Kate Middleton for the first time [1] for the Chinese president's state visit, everyone seemed to agree it was about time. The duchess pulled off her plum lace sheath elegantly, accessorized to perfection with a cranberry purse and shoes. After that, she continued to sport similar designs from the Italian fashion house, one fitted black sheath [2] and an ivory midi [3] for the Royal Ascot.

If Kate's fellow royals like Princess Mary and Queen Máxima already owned their Dolce & Gabbana pieces, they seemed to take a style note when they each pulled them out for wear. Princess Mary recently wore her cherry red dress belted [4] while in Iceland. And Queen Máxima has the short-sleeved version in gray-blue. Read on to see these power women in Dolce & Gabbana, then add a touch of royalty to your own wardrobe when you shop similar looks.
