The Duchess of Cambridge is famous for her fashion-forward style, managing to combine both classic elegance and modern trends. According to data for searches following fashion appearances, Kate Middleton has beaten both her sister-in-law Meghan Markle and TV starlet Holly Willoughby to the top spot.

The experts report that, following the Zoom event, searches for scalloped cardigans rose 67 percent.

Of course, Prince Harry’s wife Meghan also made it onto the fashion “influence” list.

The stylish former-actress is dubbed as having the “Meghan effect” following a number of garments selling out after she was photographed wearing them.

One of her most popular fashion moments of the year came when she was pictured wearing a pair of utility-style khaki joggers.

Thanks to her stylish ensembles, Holly came as a runner up to Kate Middleton for the most searched for trendsetter.
