Marilyn Monroe was a legendary actress, and has maintained her status as a pop culture icon long after her death (via Biography). When you think of Monroe, the infamous photo of her gorgeous white gown blowing in the wind likely comes to mind. The photo came from her film “The Seven Year Itch” and has become one of the most famous moments in pop culture history.
The wind blowing through Monroe’s skirt worked for her, but for a member of the royal family on an important business trip, it may not have been so glamorous. Thankfully, Kate Middleton avoided the incident. In a video seen on royal reporter Emily Nash’s Instagram account, the wind nearly pulls up the duchess’ stunning yellow dress.
According to The Sun U.K., Middleton has a way to prevent outfit malfunctions from occurring. Garments that attract the most static, something most of us love to avoid, are selected to help them more easily stick to her body. As seen in the video, Middleton caught the malfunction before it could occur and avoided a potentially embarrassing media moment. William and Kate’s royal tour keeps getting messier, but this was one moment we’re sure everyone was glad was avoided.
