The Only Shoes Kate Middleton Wears for Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace
Kate Middleton is definitely playing favorites. No, not with her ridiculously cute kids, but with her shoe choices. Today, she attended the first official Royal Garden Party of the year at Buckingham Palace, which is held every May. She looked every bit the princess in a millennial pink Alexander Wang coat dress, Loeffler Randall Tab Clutch ($250), and a Juliette Botterill fascinator along with Gianvito Rossi 105 Suede Pumps ($695).
Given how closely I cover Kate Middleton's style, it should come as no surprise that I would recognize the familiarity of Middleton's shoe choice. A little bit of photo digging confirms that she's worn the exact pair to the last three years of Royal Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace, including 2017 and 2016. (She skipped the event in 2018 because she had just given birth to Prince Louis mere weeks prior.) Scroll down to see how she's styled the same shoes over the years and shop similar pairs for yourself.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
