Princess Kate is a style icon renowned around the globe for having one of the most sought-after wardrobes on the planet. Can you last remember when she put a foot wrong?
This month she pulled out all the stops. From her trendy ensemble at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party to her designer dress by Suzannah London. The 43-year-old has been gradually making a return to public engagements following her cancer diagnosis last year.
However, at the forefront of her fashion has been notably a selection of re-wears. For several months she has stepped out in repeats from her Alessandra Rich polka dot dress at the service of thanksgiving to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day. To the casual off-duty country chic uniform that she wore on her wedding anniversary back in April.
The Princess of Wales turned a corner in May and finally sported a selection of new garments that she, of course, mixed with old staples – as she is conscious of flying the flag for sustainable fashion.
On Tuesday (May 20) Princess Kate stepped out in a butter yellow frock as she walked arm in arm with Prince William into the Buckingham Palace Garden Party, hosted by the King.
While this may have been a complete re-wear, Kate dug deep in her closet to pull out the trendy number. Yellow is dominating the high-street, and is one of the biggest trends this season.
Kate paired her dress with a stunning floral Phillip Treacy hat that she sported seven years ago back at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding.
Princess Kate conducted her first official naming ceremony in Scotland on Wednesday (May 22). The Royal Navy’s most advanced anti-submarine warfare warship was officially named as HMS Glasgow.
For the occasion Kate flew the flag for British fashion, donning a nautical-themed ensemble. She stepped out wearing a stunning blue and white dress from Suzannah London. Kate paired the ensemble with a matching Phillip Treacy hat – which is one of her go-to designers.
The princess oozed class and sophistication in the timeless look. She accessorised with a brand-new brooch that is the latest addition to her growing glittering collection.
If you have been keeping up with royal fashion, you will know that power suits are at the forefront. Not only is Kate rocking them, but Duchess Sophie often steps out in the tailored silhouette.
Earlier this month Princess Kate was snapped in an olive Victoria Beckham suit that retails at £1,300. Kate perfectly got the balance of femininity and sophistication.
Reto Peter, Co-founder of Edit Suits Co a tailoring expert, shared that he felt the fashion-forward move has made an everlasting imprint on the industry. He explained: “When such high-profile female celebrities choose to wear tailored suits for big events, it positions the look as more than just functional attire but as a strong statement of empowerment and style.”
