Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, showcased her summer fashion prowess while attending the Chakravarty Cup charity polo match alongside her sister, Pippa Middleton. The event took place at the Ham Polo Club, where the sisters made a stylish appearance reminiscent of 90s chic.
Kate chose a beautiful summery dress in a gorgeous letterbox red. The adorable midi-length dress with lovely little white polka dots and a slight ruching at the waistline, which perfectly flattered her svelte shape, was stunning. Bey’s ensemble was a study in cool, breezy sophistication, while still deeply, confidently grounded in the fashion aesthetics of yesteryear.
Kate finished her look by layering two understated silver bangles and accented them with a matching pendant necklace. This selection added an unexpected playfulness to her refined ensemble. Her sophisticated style was completed with a rosary of feathery, crimped brunette locks, masterfully blow-dried to create a soft halo around her face.
In a subtle homage to summer footwear, Kate went with the red-hot look of chunky platform espadrilles. The oversized blossoms on them truly made the spiked shoes one of the most fabulous parts of her ensemble. The fanciful shoes not only gifted her serious height, they injected a delightful touch of whimsy to her swinging sixties ensemble.
Pippa went for a classic look in a strappy aquamarine sundress. She matched it with cream wedges, icing on the cake with her sister’s dress. The Middleton sisters transferred their eponymous glamour to the elite Long Island polo club. Their fervent cheering for Prince William as he played during the final match stole the show.
The program was an appropriate environment for the sisters’ style to shine. At the same time, they had lovingly underwritten a charitable purpose. Their matching ensembles and showstopper confidence were palpable indicators of this generation that has become global fashion tastemakers. They moved and awed audiences with a stunning union of traditional and modern aesthetics.
