What BBN said about it
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKate wore a twelve hundred and ninety-five dollar Lela Rose dress, and paired it with Monsoon nude wedges, according to Yahoo Finance.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the top half is couture and the bottom half is a high street sale rack. Same woman, two tax brackets.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt's called a bridge look. Accessible luxury, in the language of the people.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, that one's good.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAt the cyder farm, William tried apple juice and asked, where's the alcoholic stuff? Kate giggled and said she'd never pulled a pint.
Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe Drama Index gives it a six, because the dress and the shoes are one outfit and one price gap apart.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA six. The dress carries it, and the wedges are only holding the floor.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBrock, sparkle for us!
