自从成为英国王妃以来，凯特的关注度一直居高不下。据说有专门以凯特为原型设计的芭比娃娃，她结婚时穿的婚纱被很多准新娘羡慕嫉妒，然后，她的穿衣风格也在被越来越多的人模仿。

The Duchess Effect — The positive economic impact of Kate Middleton's fashion choices, derived from her new title, "the Duchess of Cambridge".

公爵夫人效应指英国王妃凯特•米德尔顿的时尚穿衣品味对经济产生的积极影响，该说法来源于凯特的新头衔剑桥公爵夫人。

The Duchess Effect appears to extend much further than the economic impact of Kate's fashion choices; this year the fashion landscape seems to be a brighter, more accessible place with the styles more colorful, feminine and graceful than we've observed in many years.

公爵夫人效应似乎还不仅仅限于凯特的穿衣品味对经济的影响，整个时尚圈都在其影响下变得更加明快，比我们过去所知的时尚圈多了更多色彩、更加女性化，也更加优雅。

The Duchess can sell out a fashion line in 24 hours just by wearing a dress or sweater from a retail store at a public event. Indeed, her style choices have influenced a more feminine look all round in fashion.

公爵夫人参加公共活动时穿的从零售店买的随便一件裙子或小衫，24小时内就可能被抢购一空。的确，她的穿衣风格让整个时尚圈变得更加有女人味。
