I would like to preface this article by saying that I wish the Duchess of Cambridge all the best in her treatment and that her journey is progressing smoothly and positively. I did not expect her to be attending the King’s Birthday Celebrations today, but… Follow In her account the day before, she announced to the world that she would be returning after months of being away from the public eye, saying, “I’m looking forward to attending the King’s Birthday Parade with my family this weekend. I hope to attend some public events over the summer, but at the same time, I know that we’re not out of the woods yet.” In fact, it may seem like a small thing to document what she wears for this occasion, but there are hundreds of thousands of her fashion fans around the world who miss her outfits even though we always enjoy them. She has established herself as a symbol of elegance and poise in the fashion world, and today she looked as classic and elegant as ever.
Kate Middleton arrived with her husband, Prince William, and their children, Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George, at the Royal Parade hosted by the King in central London. Wearing a demure monochrome Jenny Packham dress with an asymmetrical bow around her neck, a Philip Treacy hat, and floral pearl earrings, Kate Middleton looked the epitome of sophistication. At the same time, she embraced one of the most popular trends this season: black and white dresses. It’s a simple but effective formula that’s available in a wide range of price points and brands, including midi and mini lengths, as well as skirts, tops, and even swimwear. It reflects a return to the minimalist and glamorous 1980s, and is perfectly in tune with this year’s grown-up fashion mood.
Eschewing the nude-coloured coat that had complemented many of her previous outfits, the princess opted for a black Mulberry clutch that contrasted with her white coat in a powerful high-fashion move that took the look into more directional territory.
