If We Could Dress Kate Middleton

Today Lebanese designer Elie Saab released the short video “Balade a Paris” to introduce his pre-fall ’12 collection. In it the model sweeps through iconic Parisian locales in ladylike laces, a high-necked A-line cocktail dress embellished with a jeweled collar, and one particularly beautiful red gown with daring lace slits. Is this a glimpse of Kate Middleton’s closet? We hope so. See the video in full below.
