The Princess of Wales is considered one of the best dressed women on the planet - fact.
Her unrivalled elegance and polished power dressing has provided royal fans with style inspiration for over a decade. Yet possibly the most endearing thing about Princess Kate's sartorial influence is that before her enduring love story with Prince William began, Kate was just a regular university student at St Andrews.

Princess Kate's early twenties spent at university are set to be depicted in the highly-anticipated sixth season of The Crown, and new photographs of actress Meg Bellamy, who plays the royal, have already caused serious excitement amongst fans.
If there's one thing The Crown excels at, it's recreating the royal family's most iconic outfits. From a teenage Kate Middleton's sheer runway dress to her low-rise jeans and nineties mini skirts, we can't wait to see what costume designer Amy Roberts recreates for the hit Netflix show.
Take a look at the Princess of Wales' most memorable university outfits that turned Prince William's head…
