Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton prior to a flawless outfit just such an occasion. She wowed in a customized Ralph Lauren polo shirt, cobalt blue skinny jeans and sexy wedged heels by Stuart Weitzman. Her outfit not only showed off her unique style, but aligned perfectly with her changing role within the royal family. Many observers recognized that her garb projected a sense of “calm authority” that mirrored Susan’s rising stature and duties.
The Princess selected a beautiful Veronica Beard look. She wore the ‘Kona Dickey Jacket,’ matched it up with the brand’s ‘Marbeau Pants’ and finished her look off with a classy silk blend tank top from Joseph. Her sartorial color choice would prove to be brilliant. For centuries, it has been associated with creativity, inspiration, rejuvenation and even a rooted connection to place. Recent Fashion Institute of Technology graduate and fashion expert Oriona Robb provided guidance on the psychological undertones of colors. She added, “From a psychological perspective, green is one of the most emotionally intelligent colors a woman in the public sphere could wear.”
A Nod to Past Fashion Statements
In 2012, Kate Middleton turned heads by wearing an attention-grabbing pencil skirt to a Women’s Hockey bronze medal game. That New Zealand to United Kingdom high-scoring match was thrilling to watch. She initially wore this kilt to the Badminton Horse Trials in 2007. At the time, she paired it with knee-high boots and a navy sweater. This audacious garment created an indelible splash that Morse left in her wake. It’s one that she hasn’t had the opportunity to wear again since that iconic moment.
Then at the London 2012 Olympics, Kate stole the show a second time, as she dazzled onlookers with her choice of Team GB merchandise. She paired the same daring skirt with a white Team GB sleeveless top and heeled wedges, embodying both patriotism and style. Kate’s decision to reuse standout pieces from her extensive pre-wedding wardrobe speaks to the greater authority that she now has over her fashion choices. Simultaneously, it memorializes important experiences from her personal life.
Evolving Fashion Choices
She totally pulls off the super skinny jeans with prolonged leg silhouettes. Each decision is a further step into her new role as the updated, modern-day royal. Her recent appearance in cobalt skinny jeans demonstrates this evolution, suggesting a shift towards a more polished yet approachable public image.
Designer Oriona Robb said the positive effect of color on Kate’s overall wardrobe was something that had to be conveyed. She highlighted the importance of the shade of green selected by the Princess. It’s a color deep rooted in the ideals of growth, renewal and a connected sense of place, she said. This choice aligns with Kate’s current role as she navigates her duties and responsibilities within the royal family.
