The Princess of Wales may be undergoing a sartorial makeover (see the vintage Chanel blazer she wore earlier this month for a trip to Olympic Park), but there are some royal fashion traditions she plainly has no plans to renounce. Anything and everything polka-dotted, a favourite pattern of Diana, Princess of Wales during her Sloane Ranger heyday, is unquestionably here to stay.
The Duchess highlighted the Take Action On Addiction campaign over the weekend, promoting support for those suffering the addiction in a video shot in front of a table covered with pictures of the Cambridges while donning a navy blouse. (Can be seen to the right? Princess Charlotte’s first day of school at Thomas’s Battersea was commemorated by a photograph of Prince George and Charlotte.)
Kate looked smart and at ease with her trademark bouncy curls in place and a dainty white collar.
But the Princess’s drop pearl earrings are the ones you should get. Annoushka’s 18-Carat Gold Baroque Pearl Earring Drops are among Kate’s most-worn jewellery items. She owns multiple pairs from various designers. The Duchess has donned the classic, adaptable style, which has a suggested retail price of £425, on events ranging from a walkabout at Windsor following the Queen’s death earlier this year to her first family portrait with Prince William and Prince George.
Do you favour a more avant-garde design? Kate has additionally promoted Maria Black’s Cha Cha Earrings, sporting the individually-sold pieces while visiting Copenhagen earlier this year. The Simone Rocha Curb-Chain Earrings, which the Duchess first unveiled in 2020 at the Natural History Museum, are even more directional. The particular style is currently out of stock, but the designer’s more recent Hoop Earrings with Faux Pearls make an ideal replacement.
