The Duchess of Cambridge is known for her elegant taste in clothes, and has been constantly seen wearing navy, red, or pastel colors. Here, we take a look at some of her best black and white ensembles.

Not only is the Duchess of Cambridge the most fashionable personality in all of London, but she also knows how to dress her part when it comes to classy occasions. Known for her attraction to the color navy blue, red, and tones of black and white, Middleton's style is eternally-effervescent.

Just recently, the Duchess was spotted wearing an all-black Diane Von Furstenberg Double-Breasted Coat from the designer's fall 2011 collection, proving that her "practical princess" personality still knows how to keep updated when it comes to designer clothes. At the Royal British Legion's Paper Poppy event, Middleton wore an affordable black jacket with zip and belt by Spanish retailer, Zara.
