Kate Middleton 'hunts for bargain baby clothes during visit to designer outlet village'

Stylish: Kate's taste in fashion is closely followed around the globe

Kate Middleton has reportedly been spotted hunting for bargain baby clothes during a visit to a designer outlet village.

The Duchess of Cambridge was seen checking out Lacoste for pyjamas for Prince George as she looked around the shops at Bicester Village in Oxfordshire.

Fashion-loving Kate, 32, also took a look for discounts in Ralph Lauren, Temperley and Gucci during her visit to the popular shopping destination.

A sales assistant told the Sun: "Kate came in on Sunday on her own, just like anyone else, and browsed the sales racks.

"At  first I didn't recognise her, I couldn't believe it was Kate. She was very friendly."

Kate apparently had her purchases - which included a bath mat - couriered to Kensington palace.

The duchess's taste in fashion is closely followed by her army of fans worldwide.

The Kate Effect has been in action ever since she stepped out in a blue Issa dress at the official announcement of her engagement to Prince William.

From high street to designer, the Duchess of Cambridge seems to pick the perfect dress, coat or casual outfit for every occasion.

She kept her fans enthralled during her and William's Royal tour of Australia and New Zealand by turning out in a wide range of beautiful designer clothes.
