Every season is wedding season, and when it comes to style, who better to seek a little guest-spiration from than the first lady of fascinators, the Duchess of Cambridge. Over the years, Kate has rocked many different looks at the numerous weddings she's been invited to, and although some of them are perhaps best consigned to the history books, most are features in a masterclass on wedding-guest wow. From the time she rewore a Topshop favorite to the very special dress she chose for her sister's big day, read on to take a look at all the times Kate was the most stylish wedding guest you'll ever see.

For the first wedding that Kate accompanied William to, she chose a classic but flirty look in a clingy cream top and a fitted jacket, a black and white Karen Millen skirt, and a black fascinator.
In a clear sign that things were getting serious between Kate and William, she attended his step-sister's wedding, along with Prince Charles. Kate was cool and crisp in a cream Day Birger et Mikkelsen brocade coat and a cream and brown feather fascinator, while the dress underneath was a thigh-skimming champagne lace Collette Dinnigan.
For her second royal family wedding, Kate opted for a watercolor palette of blue and blush teamed with a black fascinator, clutch, and pumps.
For the big day of one of William's oldest friends, Kate chose a sky-blue Jane Troughton brocade coat and powder-blue Jane Corbett hat.
William and Kate were newly engaged, but the secret wasn't out yet when they watched two of their closest friends say "I do." Kate choose a wide-brimmed black hat and black fitted jacket over an electric-blue Issa dress for the occasion.
Breaking with tradition, Kate wore all black to this Winter wedding, looking sleek and stylish in a Libelula coat and black Issa dress teamed with plum Mascaro bag and pumps.
The ink was barely dry on her own wedding certificate when Kate went back to church for the nuptials of her close friend Sam — hotfooting it over from her first Trooping the Colour. The new duchess chose a black and white geometric patterned Zara dress and black Sylvia Fletcher for Lock and Co hat.
A month later, Kate was digging out her cream Day Birger et Mikkelsen coat for the second royal wedding of the year, pairing it with a cream Gina Foster hat.
For the big day of William's cousin Emily, Kate favored a powder-blue Katherine Hooker coat, complementing Jenny Packham dress, and taupe hat by Whiteley.
At this Winter-wonderland wedding in Austria, Kate was pregnant with Prince George. The expectant mom favored a blush-colored coat with a chocolate-colored James Lock cocktail hat and matching faux fur wrap. Underneath the coat? A leopard-print chiffon Max Mara dress.
Kate recycled the white and black spotted Topshop dress that she'd worn to Harry Potter World a few weeks earlier, teaming it with a black and white Vivien Sheriff hat and little black jacket.
The last time Kate was seen at a friend's wedding was that of her old pal Lucy, for which she wore her favorite blue tweed M Missoni coat and navy Sylvia Fletcher hat.
For her sister Pippa's wedding in May 2017, Kate wore a very special, dusty rose midi dress designed by Alexander McQueen. She completed her ladylike ensemble with a matching fascinator, suede pumps, and drop earrings.
One year later, Kate once again turned to Alexander McQueen. For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding, the Duchess of Cambridge wore a canary yellow ensemble which she accessorized with Jimmy Choo pumps and a fabulous Philip Treacy hat.
