The Jenny Packham gown Kate Middleton wore to a charity gala last week looks oddly like the dress Blair Waldorf wore to impress her very own prince on the latest season of 'Gossip Girl.' The coral-hued, sparkly, almost off-shoulder dress wowed the fashion world but Blair Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) wore it first.

Also, the gorgeous Stella McCartney gown that Kate wore to Prince Philip's 90th birthday was previously seen on pop-legend Madonna. And Madonna isn't the only pop-culture legend that seems to inspire the duchess. Her Alexander McQueen wedding gown looked eerily similar to Grace Kelly's--only more modern.

Kate has an elegance about her that doesn't seem natural, but maybe it is. It seems Kate is also inspired by Victoria Beckham, former Spice Girl and wife to the soccer star David Beckham. Kate packed some of Victoria's dresses for her honeymoon. It's said Kate is a big fan of Victoria's fashion line.
