Kate Middleton's French Sister-in-Law Wore My Fave Affordable Parisian Brand
We were first introduced to Kate Middleton's sister, Pippa, at the royal wedding in 2011, but now there's yet another chic member of the family to keep an eye on. In September, Alizee Thevenet married Kate and Pippa's brother, James Middleton, and she has a cool style that I think you'll love. Thevenet is French, works as a finance director in London, and, from the looks of her Instagram, happily co-parents James's five dogs. How cute are they?
Thevenet and Middleton recently attended a carol service at Westminster Abbey hosted by the Duchess of Cambridge. For the royal affair, Thevenet stayed true to her French roots and wore a suit by Sézane, an affordable Paris-based brand. The label has long been my favorite for under-$200 pieces with a French flair, including striped tops and plaid blazers. Scroll down to see how Thevenet styled a Sézane suit and more of her cool outfits.
