Kate Middleton Honors Queen Elizabeth II in Gianvito Rossi Pumps With Prince William

Kate Middleton and her husband, Prince William, attended a service to commemorate the life of her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on the first anniversary of her passing at St David’s Cathedral today in Pembrokeshire, UK.

The Princess of Wales stepped into a classic pair of fall-ready Gianvito Rossi “Gianvito 105” pointed-toe pumps for the occasion. The shoes were constructed of texturally unique burgundy suede uppers with angular knife-like pointed toes all sat atop thin 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels that gave the royal a subtle boost.

The style retails for $795 and comes in a range of colors and sizes. No matter the season, suede pumps are a go-to style for Middleton.

The dress is based on a design from Eponine London’s spring 2020 collection and was crafted using double wool crepe and lined in soft silk satin. Rounding out her look, Middleton toted a Mulberry Bayswater clutch in “Cranberry Suede” featuring a gold closure paired with a hat set to one side with bow detailing. The royal also sported pearl and diamond-encrusted teardrop earrings, giving her look a sophisticated shine.

Middleton can often be found wearing pointed-toe pumps from Emmy London, Jimmy Choo and Stuart Weitzman, among others. However, her go-to style is Gianvito Rossi’s 105 pumps. In addition to her royal rotation of heels, the duchess also wears affordable sneakers from New Balance, Adidas, Superga and Zara on and off duty.
