Kate Middleton's Bandage Dress Crashes Retailers Website

Posted byBy popadmin | Published on: CommentsComments (2)

Kate Middleton’s bandage dress crashes retailers website. Kate Middleton officially known as Catherine Duchess of Cambridge and her husband the Duke of Cambridge met with the United States President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama in London yesterday. Kate wore a $340 Shola bandage dress from a London high street retailer called Reiss. According to the Washington Post, obscene orders for the dress crashed Reiss’ website twice! A Reiss rep took to twitter with an update stating,

“The dress has now sold out online and in the US, with very limited stock left in UK stores.”

Can’t say we’re big fans of this dress – the color doesn’t do much for Kate’s complexion and the silhouette only accentuates Kate thin frame. This isn’t the first time Kate has caused her fans to rush and replicate her look.

According to the Huffington Post,

Kate’s engagement dress by the same retailer, Reiss, sold out within hours in England. Another hit was Kate’s after wedding day dress by Zara – our personal favorite of the three – was also sold out within hours.

Of course the First Lady Michelle Obama is also known for selling out frocks ever since she stepped out with her mixed separates from retailers like J. Crew to Ralph Lauren. As a bonus we’ve included Michelle Obama wearing a gorgeous white gown from Tom Ford’s women’s collection for the Dinner at Buckingham Palace in London!

How would you rate Kate Middleton’s fashion picks?

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
