What a quite bouquet!
I understand we’ll most likely see the tag on the flowers mentioned in a comment. If curious, it says “Freddie’s Flowers”.
Here is a quick video from shout about the event.
Now for our look at what Kate wore to the shout celebration.
The Duchess brought back her Smythe 2-Button Blazer ($795, no longer available).
The single-breasted style is done in a Prince of Wales check made from a wool/linen/nylon fabric. It features a contrast collar, oversized leather buttons on the front closure with four buttons at the cuff, big angled pocket flaps, welt pocket, as well as a back vent. Kate very first wore the jacket to a trainer Core event last October.
The Duchess had on a new (at least to us) pair of trousers by Joseph, the Zoom style ($515 originally, no longer available).
The mid-rise style is a viscose/acetate/elastane blend described as lightweight by the retailer. The trouser has a slim fit, with pockets on the side seam as well as a back welt pocket, front zipper, as well as belt loops. Ankle-length in design, the trousers are lined in 100% cotton. numerous thanks to Caroline Parr of The Mail Online for this ID.
Kate’s top is unidentified at this point. Thoughts on today’s look from Bethan Holt, The Telegraph’s fashion news as well as features director.
The look marked a new step in the duchess’s trouser evolution. Where her previous forays in the past months have been broad culotte styles, the cut of Joseph’s style is slim as well as cropped with a gentle kick flare as well as wise creases.
The fashion lesson from the duchess’s latest look? That a thoroughly curated ‘trouser-drobe’ is an underappreciated important in a contemporary style arsenal.
Alex suggests on Twitter the belt is by Zara, the leather Belt with Buckle style ($35.90), which is a great find.
I am still looking for a shot that will much better show the buckle. The Zara buckle is antiqued, as well as I’m not sure if Kate’s buckle is or not. UPDATE: IN the side by side photos below you can see that the Duchess’s buckle looks shiny, not distressed or antiqued like the Zara buckle. The holes on the Zara belt likewise appear to have black grommets as well as I don’t see those on Kate’s.
A fantastic repliKate, however not the belt worn today, I don’t believe.
We likewise saw the Gianvito Rossi ‘Piper’ suede pumps ($695) again.
The style is offered in restricted sizes at Net-a-Porter, in just two or three sizes at My Theresa and in only a size 38 at Gianvito Rossi.
Kate likewise wore her white gold as well as diamond Empress earrings (£3000, approximately $3800 at today’s exchange rates) as well as Pendant Necklace (£2750, about $3500) from Mappin as well as Webb.
