The Princess of Wales made a cool yet casual outing on Tuesday, serving up quite the inspiration for everyday summer dressing. The royal visited the Windsor Family Hub to hear about the important work the organisation carries out to provide support to families across Windsor, Maidenhead and the surrounding areas. Naturally, she looked lovely as ever for the occasion.
The 41-year-old slipped into the sweetest new baby blue gingham blazer by Zara which was layered over a white puff sleeve tank top by Ralph Lauren and some dark wash blue trousers by L.K. Bennett. Swapping her signature stilettos for a more practical design, the royal stepped out in a pair of navy point-toe ballerina flats by Emmy London, tapping into the overriding Balletcore trend of this season.
Princess Kate wore her ever-flowing locks down loose with a subtle side parting and opted for a radiant beauty blend to highlight her natural features. A honied complexion, a rosy pink lip, a bronzed smoky eye, and a dusting of blush culminated in a flawless palette.
