The Princess of Wales always looks pristine for a royal outing whether she is donning a designer evening gown for a night at Buckingham Palace or a sleek suit for a daytime event. 

However, Prince William's wife, 42, has proved on rare occasions that she is partial to a pair of jeans and can dress them up for a royal-approved look.
