Year in Review: The Duchess of Cambridge and Crown Princess Victoria's 2018 Bests

Our next two ladies in the spotlight ended up on opposite ends of the spectrum for my personal 2018 favorites.

For my end of the year favorites, I usually draw heavily from the year's tiara appearances - but weirdly enough, my top Kate outfits for the year stayed on the less formal side of things. The accessory interest on this Erdem tops my list.

Runners up:

• Two outfits from two related events earlier this month take my runner up spots: an Emilia Wickstead skirt and cardigan, followed by a wide leg trouser and blazer appearance.

Victoria, on the other hand, ended up with a list completely taken from the year's tiara appearances. It was a bit of a three-way tie, but I'm giving top prize to the go big or go home spirit of her foray into Queen Silvia's closet for the Nobel ceremony.

Runners up:

• Killer perfection in red from night two of the Nobel festivities makes my list...
• ...as does her sleek green gown with emeralds and diamonds from November.
