Kate Middleton’s Hats Inspire French Heroine Adèle Blanc-Sec
The popular French comics heroine Adèle Blanc-Sec is making an appearance on the silver screen in USA with Luc Besson’s The Extraordinary ADVENTURES of Adèle Blanc-Sec and guess where she finds her style inspiration from? Kate Middleton, of course! The Duchess of Cambridge is a headwear fashion inspiration to so many and we think they fit stylishly perfect in this Parisian Period Drama.
Adèle rocks some seriously stylish hats, reminiscent of Kate’s looks, while she travels from Paris to Peru and Egypt at the turn of the 20th century to unlock an ancient secret in the hopes of curing her near catatonic sister.
Check out the trailer to see Adèle in action!
