Emma Watson, Kate Middleton and Blake Lively - Who wore Burberry best?

When Kate Middleton stepped out in a Burberry trench on Shrove Tuesday, style commentators were quick to comment on the match made in fashion heaven - the Royal bride-to-be wearing a homegrown sartorial classic, and naturally, the world soon sat up and took notice...

Within hours the Burberry website had sold out of Kate's double-breasted cover-up of choice in an array of sizes, which features a pretty frilled hem and traditional aviator-style buckle belt.

KATE MIDDLETON'S ROYAL STYLE PARADE

As the latest recruit to the fashion house's bulging A-list fan club, we couldn't resist pitching Ms Middleton against some fellow Burberry belles - Blake Lively, Emma Watson and Alexa Chung - all devotees of the label's outerwear.

Opting for a light neutral hue, Gossip Girl Blake wore her mac over a cocktail dress back in November 2010, while that same month Emma teamed polka dot tights with a studded custom-made version - the perk of being Burberry's leading lady in those uber-stylish ads.

Alexa has long been a Burberry advocate, opting for the classic camel trench, almost identical to Kate's in cut and silhouette, but teamed with bare legs and chunky ankle boots.

Hands down, Kate Middleton looks the best. She is the only one of the four who looks put together. The others clearly just threw their coats on, any which way. And Kate's coat is also the prettiest of the four.

Alexa, always effortless perfection

For me, the Burberry trench represents effortless chic so the un-done look is perfect. As to Kate's, it looks like a wool coat, not a rain proof trench type thing... which is in another category, me thinks.
