Kate Middleton’s Fashion Hacks: How Duchess Hides Bra Straps And Panty Lines

Kate Middleton uses some fashion hacks to hide bra straps and panty lines because it’s a big no-no for royals to expose their undergarments.

The Duchess of Cambridge is one of the most fashionable royals. Many love her wardrobe and her fans are well-aware of how perfect she dresses up for every occasion. Whenever Middleton steps out, everything seems to be in place as no bra straps or panty lines are visible.

Royal etiquette expert Myka Meier just revealed Middleton’s fashion secret. Meier shared a snap of Middleton wearing a semi-sheer baby blue Elie Saab dress at the Royal Ascot in 2019 on Instagram. Although the material is see-through, Middleton’s bra straps are not visible at all in the picture.

“Royal Style Hack Alert! Ever wonder why you never see bra straps? Swipe to see a secret trick which is a must-have royal wardrobe piece!” she wrote in the caption.

The second photo shows a one-piece strapless shapewear in nude color. According to Meier, Middleton wears shapewear and sewn-in bras to avoid showing straps.

The expert also opened up to Fabulous on how the royals typically dress up. She said that they are particularly careful when it comes to their undergarments.

“Underwear and bras are also considered private intimate wear, and for royals to put intimate apparel on display would simply not be done,” she explained.

According to the “Modern Etiquette Made Easy” author, the royals have two options to hide bra straps. They could sew them into the item they are wearing or use strapless shapewear. Meanwhile, to avoid visible panty lines when wearing trousers or form-fitting outfits, they use seamless knickers, undergarments or shapewear.

“You want the attention to be on the beautifully tailored and designed garment and not the undergarments. Undergarments showing can take away from an amazing outfit,” Meier added.

Middleton has numerous fashion hacks. For instance, to avoid the embarrassing Marilyn Monroe moments, she wears body suits and clothes that increase static, so they don’t fly up.

Also, Middleton is often seen wearing heels when she’s out for her royal engagements. To endure the painful experience of wearing heels all day, the duchess uses Alice Bow leather insoles that keep her feet comfortable in her stilettos.
