Kate's most popular outfit on Caribbean tour costs £976 – shows 'status as a style icon'

Kate Middleton’s Tory Burch ‘Blue Floral Dress’ is the popular most look of her Caribbean royal tour with Prince William, new research has found. Fashion experts looked into the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s official Instagram to see the post with the most likes featuring Kate’s outfits on the trip since the start of the tour in the Caribbean, revealing which was the favourite. Data from Google search trends was also analysed to reveal the impact of the Duchess’s outfits in the UK following the look being released.

In first place was the Colbalt summer floral dress from Tory Burch, which gained a massive 616,633 likes on Instagram.

This sparked a 266 percent surge in searches for ‘blue floral dress’, more than three times the average search on March 20.

Since she was spotted wearing the designer dress, it has almost sold out on the Tory Burch site, where it retails at £455.

To complete the look, royal fans will need Kate’s Anya Hindmarch woven fan clutch, which she has owned since 2011.
