Kate Middleton wore Christian Dior for the first time during France’s state visit — a move packed with hidden meaning

Though Kate herself has never worn Dior before today, the French luxury brand is a favorite of many royal women, including Princess Diana, who frequently carried the Lady Dior bag (named after her), and Meghan Markle, who turned to the brand for major royal moments, including to her second-ever appearance on the Buckingham Palace balony.

Kate Middleton welcomed Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron to the UK in a Dior outfit, celebrating France with the designer.
