Streets of Growth is a youth intervention charity that aims at re-engaging youthful communities in London to ensure every young adult has equal access to progressive social and economic opportunities. The royal met with mothers and their daughters and learned about the young people the not-for-profit charity supports.

For the event, the Princess of Wales stepped into a classic pair of Rossi’s “Bisque” Gianvito 105 pumps for the occasion. The shoes were constructed of texturally interesting cream-colored suede uppers with triangular knife-like pointed toes all sat atop thin 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels that gave Middleton a subtle and sophisticated boost.

Beyond their suede nature this time around, pointed-toe pumps are a staple in many celebrities’ wardrobes, Middleton included.
