The former Kate Middleton has been thrust into celebrity since her spring nuptials to Prince William and the world has found itself a new princess to watch. She handled herself remarkably well -- the perfect essence of grace and ease -- on both her wedding day and her grand tour of Canada and Los Angeles in July, 2011.
The world has been spellbound by her conservative-yet-chic fashion choices, as well as her lush, brunette hair, almost always worn down and curled, as seen here.
