Vivienne Westwood Slams Kate Middleton For Not Recycling Dresses

Ouch! In the same week she was called a ‘plastic doll’, Kate is now being attacked by British designer Vivienne for purchasing too many new outfits. Is she right?

Kate Middleton just can’t catch a break. First, she had bump pictures taken while she was in a bikini, then British Man Booker prize winner Hilary Mantel said that her only purpose is to provide a royal heir, and now she has been slammed by iconic fashion designer Vivienne Westwood for wearing too many new outfits, because it’s not “good for the environment.”

Vivienne Westwood Gives Kate Middleton Style Advice

Vivienne, 71, was at London Fashion Week for her Autumn/Winter 2013 presentation on Feb. 17, when she was asked to comment on the pregnant 31-year-old’s style.

“I don’t have any advice for her, [although] I think it would be great if she wore the same clothes over and again, because that’s very good for the environment and it would send out a very nice message,” said Vivienne, as reported by Us.

“If you’re going to all that trouble to get an outfit that suits you, then you should keep on wearing it. I mean, you don’t have to have a red outfit one day and then something almost the same in blue the next,” she continued.

Vivienne makes a good point, but sometimes it’s nice to change it up. Unsurprisingly, this is not the first time that Vivienne has been vocal about one of Kate’s style choices.

Vivienne Attacks Kate’s Eyeliner & Image

“It seems to me that her image is ‘ordinary woman,’” she said to The Sunday Times Magazine in 2011. “Therefore, High Street shopper. And I just think she should be an extraordinary woman, wherever she gets her clothes from.”

Vivienne didn’t stop there, as she also criticized Kate’s make-up.

“I think she’s got a problem with eye make-up,” she said. “The sharp line around her eyes make her look hard. Either she should be smudgy or wear none.”

Jeez Vivienne, don’t hold back!

What do YOU think HollywoodLifers? Is Vivienne being too harsh?

Well maybe though, all of Kate’s dresses are designers, OMG, that’s a hella expensive, and in a day, how many times she changes up? Since she doesn’t reuse all of her formal clothes she could donate it, rather than store in her closet, of course leave with her the casual clothes, coz honestly I bet she will never re-use her dresses, very much sure

@Serena. It doesn’t matter if she wears the clothe again or not.She could give them away or throw them in the trash if she wants and it’s still nobodies business! Vivienne needs to get a life and stay out of Kate’s closet. Vivienne isn’t paying out of her pocket for the clothes is she? She needs to mind her business. Makes me wonder why she’s hating on Kate so much.

Westwood’s teeth match her hair! Who gives a rat’s behind what she thinks? Kate is lovely in whatever she wears! As mvk said, poor Kate is criticized whether she recycles her clothes or not. Haters are gonna hate.

Give Kate some space and the respect she deserves. Kate obviously recycled many outfits before Vivienne made her comments. Vivienne needs to remember the day when she was pregnant and NOTHING in her closet fit including her bra and step back. Pregnancy is beautiful and requires a whole new wardrobe!

Westwood is an azzhole too. Poor Kate is damned if she wears the same thing more than once and damned if she doesn’t. What if she is waiting for a different event or time to wear something she already wore. Give the girl a break. Maybe she is waiting until after her pregnancy. I am really starting to hate all these people who won’t leave Kate alone. The lady is in a difficult position and a terribly hard job that she is doing beautifully. Leave her the hell alone.

I’m sure the clothing she decides not to wear again gets donated. not like she’s gonna stockpile it all and later use it to strangle puppies or start Forrest fires with it *rolls eyes*. she fell in love with a prince and there for has to keep up her image. smh. poor women… being attacked for trying to be a good princess/wife… horrible

Vivienne should mind her own damn business! She act like Kate went into her pocket to buy the clothes. It’s Kate’s money she should spend it however she likes. If she wants to wear a new outfit everyday up until she delivers it’s still her business! This chick should keep the hating to herself.
