Kate Middleton Quietly Shines in an Elegant Emerald Midi Dress

The Princess of Wales showed out in another monochromatic look today while welcoming another pair of international royals to Windsor Castle.

This morning, Princess Kate and husband Prince William met with Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel. For the royal affair, Kate ditched her typical workwear of structured, tailored suits and opted for a low-key emerald green ensemble.

This consisted of an Emilia Wickstead midi dress featuring long sleeves, a square neckline, and a flared pleated skirt. She color-coordinated the dress with matching green shoes from Emmy London, and further accessorized with diamond and sapphire drop earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana. William wore his go-to navy blue suit with a white dress shirt and a maroon spotted tie.

Meanwhile, Victoria cut a stylish figure in a white pussy-bow blouse layered underneath a bright red tweed jacket with black-and-white trim. She finished off her look with black straight-leg trousers and shiny black pumps. Her husband looked sensible in a blue double-breasted suit, a navy tie, and black leather shoes.

Although Kate has lately relied on a rotation of suits to carry out her public engagements, she isn’t above occasionally dabbling in a moment of glamour. For instance, she recently dazzled at a Buckingham Palace state banquet, where she looked every bit the princess she is in a white Jenny Packham gown with floral gold embroidery and the Strathmore Rose Tiara, a floral, diamond-encrusted diadem last publicly worn by the Queen Mother in the 1930s.

She also writes on social movements, connecting with activists leading the fight on workers' rights, climate justice, and more. Offline, she’s probably spending too much time on TikTok, rewatching Emma (the 2020 version, of course), or buying yet another corset.
