Watch on FN

Last week, Middleton visited the We Are Farming Minds charity with her husband Prince William. For the occasion, she slipped into her favorite hiking boots, See by Chloe’s “Mozart” boots. She has been spotted in the lace-up style on numerous outdoor occasions since 2019. 

The mother of three tends to gravitate towards sustainable fashion, reusing different pieces in her closet. Her outfit is entirely composed of pieces she has worn in the past. For the 2023 BAFTAs, she wore a white Alexander McQueen pleated gown, which she was also seen wearing to the award show in 2019. For red carpet appearances, she usually slips into pointed-toe pumps from top labels like Gianvito Rossi, Emmy Jimmy Choo, Aquazzura and Alessandra Rich. When off-duty, the princess will lace into an affordable pair of sneakers from Veja, Superga, Lululemon and Nike.
