The young royal was dressed perfectly from head to toe for the occasion, which saw her donning a formal hat for the very first time, the 'Luxury Felt Children's Boater' by Jane Taylor. Charlotte's stylish mother Princess Kate completed the look with a pair of black leather buttoned Mary-Jane shoes from the Spanish brand Manuela de Juan. You can now shop similar styles at& M&S, H&M, La Redoute and more.
