Princess Kate is already embracing fashion trends of 2025 as she continues to be “a significant influence on British fashion,” according to a prominent stylist.
Having made only eight public appearances in 2024, Princess Kate is anticipated to engage more in 2025 as her “staggered” return to royal responsibilities progresses.
The Princess of Wales, recognized for her penchant for re-wearing outfits, has worn peplum—a short section attached to the waistline of a blouse or dress—in previous appearances, and experts suggest this style will have a major resurgence next year.
In March, the mother of two revealed her cancer diagnosis, followed by an emotional update in September in which Kate shared that she had successfully completed her course of preventative chemotherapy, alongside Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Ciara Russell stated: “Peplum is making a comeback because it’s a flattering style that emphasizes the waist and creates a feminine silhouette.
“It’s got a timeless charm, but designers are reinventing it with a contemporary twist, giving it a fresh and adaptable vibe for today’s fashion.
“Whether it’s a structured jacket or a softer dress, peplum adds an elegant touch suitable for various occasions, explaining its renewed popularity.
“Peplum dresses offer adaptability and can be tailored to enhance different body types, especially with the right fit and peplum length.”

She mentioned to the Express: “They are incredibly flattering and create a feminine silhouette that complements her style.
“As they are reemerging in fashion, it’s only natural for her to integrate them into her wardrobe.”
Ciara also predicted that “statement shoulders and sleeves will be a prominent trend in 2025.”

“Bold puffed sleeves, strong shoulders, and cape-like designs will infuse a dramatic and stylish flair into outfits, making them pop while retaining wearability. I also foresee boho chic making a return with an abundance of suede, earthy tones, and flowing fabrics.
“Fringe and embroidered accents will provide a relaxed, vintage atmosphere that easily fits into modern wardrobes. These two styles—striking statement pieces and the laid-back boho aesthetic—will work in harmony and shape women’s fashion in 2025.”
Regarding Princess Kate’s return to royal engagements, royal commentator Gareth Russell exclusively shared with GB News: “The royal households have made it evident that the Princess of Wales’s return to public life will be gradual.
“This serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is often a process of ups and downs, highlighting that there will be events she can attend and others she will not.”
