Who won the style war?

Kate, it appears.

“Looks like there’s a bit of copying Catherine’s dress (Duchess of Cambridge),” said one.

“I said that,” said another. “I think Catherine has outshone Holly on this occasion,” they added.

“Oh yes, me too. Catherine looked sensational in hers,” said a third.

Another commented: “Kate maybe gave her a loan of it for the night!”

“Almost identical to Catherine and I preferred on Catherine to be honest,” another declared.

“As much as I like Holly, Catherine wins hands down!” another said of the style war.
