The ESPY Awards are a strange event when sportsfolk mingle with celebrity folk in a sweaty, bejeweled, alcohol-fueled haze. Or at least that’s what I imagine it’s like — Ryan Reynolds and Vern Troyer were both there, after all. And there were lots of fashions — especially from the athletic ladies, who are typically more prone to wearing sports bras and Nikes than sequins. But on another note, perhaps sequins should be integrated into athletic competitions more often? To dazzle and bewilder the opponent? Just a thought.

She has great skin. She’s got a lollipop figure. And whatever, she’s a friggin’ princess. You can’t beat that! But her recent trip to the States and Canada was full of boring outfit after boring outfit. We’ve gone through and picked out some stylish celebs and leading ladies that Kate might want to look to for guidance and dress appeal. Commence with the strongly worded debate in the comments!
