We could only ever dream of only jewels that cost a small fortune, but for the Princess of Wales, this is a reality. Prince William’s wife wore a pair of extravagant topaz earrings as she attended the Buckingham Palace garden party on Tuesday, and nobody seemed to clock the stunning pieces.
Princess Kate complemented her Elie Saab aesthetic by frosting herself with Kiki MacDonough’s ‘Lola Blue Topaz Hoop Earrings’ worth £3,400. The aqua blue gems added a tinge of cool colour to her lavish lace ensemble, which she previously wore to Ascot back in 2019.
Complete with a bespoke 'Macramé Pussy Bow Blouse, and 'Embroidered Tulle Skirt' from the coveted Lebanese designer's Resort 2019 collection, the royal mother-of-three's silhouette-skimming gown was the perfect choice for a spring day. A Philip Treacy hat was the cherry on top of a divine outfit choice.
