As for accessories, Middleton donned a wide-brimmed teal Philip Treacy sunhat with bow detailing worn in tandem with a rectangular suede green ‘Dora’ clutch from LK Bennett and a gold “Irish Guards” brooch from Cartier fastened to the lapel of her coat. Additionally, the Princess sported Diana, former Princess of Wales’ Saudi Sapphire Suite earrings, offering a nostalgic touch.

On the footwear front, Middleton sported Aquazzura “Purist” pump 105 pointed-toe pumps, a favorite style of hers. The pair were also teal green, making her look monochrome, and were comprised of knife-like pointed toes and textural suede uppers. Thin 3 to 4 inch stiletto heels finished off the set, giving the Princess a conservative and walkable boost in height. Pointed-toe pumps are a mainstay in many celebrities and public figures’ wardrobes, Middleton’s included.
