Kate Middleton attended Evelina London’s new children’s hospital opening in London on Tuesday. The new facility was created to focus on family-centric care for young patients, offering a seamless experience from pre-surgery to recovery in one cohesive space.
Sticking to her favorites, the Princess of Wales stepped into a classic pair of “Midnight Blue’ suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi at the event. The royal’s shoes featured rich dark blue suede uppers that transitioned into triangular knife-like pointed toes all sat atop thin but reliable 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels that offered the young royal a subtle and sophisticated boost.
Suede pumps are a go-to style for Middleton all year round, specifically from brands like Gianvito Rossi, Emmy London, Prada, Aquazzura and Jimmy Choo, among others. The suede uppers of the shoe provide the silhouette with a unique textural feature that further diversifies the otherwise classic pump style. Gianvito Rossi features both male and female styles, including a range of mules, flats, booties and even sneakers. The Italian footwear retailer also stocks accessories, including belts and clutches.
Opting for a tonal look, Middleton sported a bright blue suit from Alexander McQueen, which was comprised of a tailored blazer and matching trousers. Layered underneath her blazer, the royal wore a long-sleeved knitted jumper, also in a light blue hue. Middleton’s tailored trousers were belted.
Additionally, the Princess sported a variety of shiny gold jewelry fitted with dark blue gemstones that matched her ensemble. Middleton wore her dark brown tresses parted down the middle, styled in face-framing waves.
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.
