Kate Middleton’s a style icon just like Mrs. O, says Michael Kors

Britain’s style version of Michelle Obama is Kate Middleton — at least according to New York designer Michael Kors.

Kors told Vogue UK, “When Barack Obama first became well-known and everyone started looking at Mrs. Obama I thought to myself, ‘This is a very different, modern-looking couple.'”

He also added, “When I look at Kate I see a changing of the guard in what is considered elegant. She is likes to look easy but chic. I would liken her to Obama and Carla Bruni in that way. All these women are in situations where they shaking off the formal suits of their predecessors.”

And what would he design for her, if asked? “A fabulous matte jersey combined with beautiful embroidery would be nice,” he told the magazine. “The best clothes are a frame for the woman wearing it. It would be cut very well in just the perfect fabric.”
