The royal duo headed to a basketball game – and how stylish do they both look? William rocked a chambray button-down under a navy blue jacket, and the Princess looked as stunning as ever wearing a vintage double-breasted royal blue tweed jacket by Chanel from 1995, which she previously wore for the 10th Anniversary Celebration of Coach Core at the Copper Box Arena on 13 October, 2022.

The royal completed her courtside attire by slipping into a pair of black suede pumps by Gianvito Rossi, which quite literally elevated the luxury look. A host of gold jewels added a twinkling twist to her elegant aesthetic, including a pair of 'Biaritz Squiggle Earrings' by Shyla London and a chunky gold necklace by Laura Lombardi that adorned her décolleté.

The last time the parents-of-three went to a basketball game was back in 2014. The pair got to meet some of America's pop royalty when they attended an NBA game in Brooklyn between the Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

There has been speculation that William and Kate will reunite with his brother, Prince Harry, and wife Meghan Markle, who have lived in the States since the start of 2020.
