Last week the Duchess of Cambridge followed celebrities¹ including Naomi Campbell, Sienna Miller², Cressida Bonas and Emily Blunt by exposing her back - or a bit of it at least - in a sheer, pale blue gown at the premiere of Spectre.

 

She outshone actresses Rachel Weisz and Monica Bellucci by giving us a tantalising glimpse of flesh.

 

Hollywood fashionistas are even claiming the back is the new erogenous zone.

 

True or not, Kate is showing real fashion sense, says international stylist Henny Letailleur: 'It is much more sophisticated and timelessly elegant than previous trends.

 

'Before, you had the focus on a large cleavage and then it went to bottoms, which was taken to a ridiculous level by Kim Kardashian.'

 

The pendulum³ has now swung back, she says - the look is effortless and elegant: 'There is nothing sexier than a sly glimpse of a honed back. Not everyone can pull it off. You can't have any rolls of back fat.'
