If there is one clothing item that is considered a no-no for an aristocrat, it would have to be jeans; yet the ELLE France 'Royal Denim' editorial begs to differ. Stylist Marie Lichtenberg paired the casual fabric with rich colors, bejeweled tops and regal patterns for outfits that are fit for a princess. In fact, the Duchess of Cambridge could definitely be seen wearing one of these ensembles.
Nevertheless, the looks featured throughout the ELLE France 'Royal Denim' editorial are modeled on Giedre Dukauskaite, not Kate Middleton. The brunette beauty was captured by photographer Bjarne Jonasson for the October 25th issue of weekly publication. The looks feature pieces from the likes of Dolce & Gabbana, Armani Jeans and Chanel. They were perfected by hairstylist Erika Svedjevik and makeup artist Yacine Diallo.
