London designer Alice Temperley, whose designs the Duchess of Cambridge wears frequently, has said in the Telegraph  "Kate Middleton is the perfect modern-day woman." Here is Kate Middleton, wearing a Temperley London design. Is Kate Middleton the perfect modern-day woman? I'd have to say she is not... is anyone? But here's the catch: Temperley's comments have been taken a bit out of context in the Telegraph's headline which reads "Alice Temperley interview: 'Kate Middleton is the perfect modern-day woman'." Here's the actual quote: “The Duchess is an inspiration,” she says. “She’s very graceful, gracious and she’s a brilliant ambassador for British fashion. She mixes up designer and high street; the perfect modern-day woman.” So in that regard (ie. to a designer), maybe she is the perfect modern-day woman. She does look beautifully turned out either in casual clothes or in a tiara. Check her out both ways in Kate Middleton wears a tiara, and effortlessly casual in 5 things Kate Middleton can't do that other moms can. We're just a fan of her style in general.

What do you think, is she the perfect modern-day woman, or is that a silly phrase? -Helen
