Kate in Navy & White For Equestrian Olympic Event

Kate opted for the colors of the Union Jack today as she joined William and a host of royals to watch Zara Phillips compete at the London Olympics.

The Queen’s granddaughter was riding in the Cross Country phase of the Eventing competition;, Zara was on her horse High Kingdom. Below we see her taking a jump.

The Duke and Duchess watching the event. 

Also viewing today’s competition, Prince Harry, the Duchess of Cornwall, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Kate brought back her navy Smythe Blazer by Toronto-based designers Andrea Lenczner and Christie Smythe.

Kate previously wore the jacket for her trip to Canada last June. The cotton blazer features that distinctive cutout on the back, peaked lapels, welt pockets and a front coin pocket, as well as the one-button closure. She wore it atop a pair of navy trousers we have yet to ID.

Kate also sported a white Adidas Team GB shirt, and the Stuart Weitzman Corkswoon style wedges, we believe both items are the same worn on Friday for the Torch Relay event.

She wore a pair of Givenchy sunglasses when the sun was at its brightest. The Duchess accented with pearl stud earrings she has previously worn.

Both she and William wore official London 2012 lapel pins.

The lapel pin is available in the USA for $8.95, I presume it can also be found at other online sites.

Kate also wore sunglasses.

They are a Givenchy style

Another view of the royals today.

The course was quite a challenge for many riders today, with several taking a tumble. Yesterday those watching Zara compete included her mother, Princess Anne, who rode as a competitor in the 1976 Olympics, and her grandfather, the Duke of Edinburgh. It turns out Zara wasn’t celebrating just her outstanding performance:

In addition to the Equestrian competition, Princes William and Harry also watched Gymnastics today.

Prince William was busy yesterday, he was at Wembley for men’s football, joining another notable to watch the match between Great Britain and the UAE team.  More from today’s Express:

Despite being left out of the side, David Beckham proved to be a good sport by joining Prince William at Wembley Stadium to cheer on the home side, who triumphed 3-1. Becks’s son, Brooklyn, was also there cheering on Team GB.

The Brits were victorious in the match, winning 3-1.

The Team GB Women’s Football team was on hand to cheer their male counterparts, they were able to meet William, this picture comes via Team GB’s Karen Carney.

It sounds like a grand experience for the entire group, a tweet from Ms. Carney:

We’ll be back later today with a post on Kate’s appearance at tonight’s Creative Industries GREAT Campaign reception, we expect a semi-formal look.

The navy pants look like the J Brand 811 mid rise. I have the exact same pair. She also wore them with her Sebago Bala's that one time (was she in Canada?) I forget. :)

Could someone help me identify how big her pearl studs are (in mm)? I am going to be a bridesmaid in late August and these would be the perfect size (after a fruitless search for earrings this is a breakthrough).

I'm *guessing* a 9mm or 10mm, though 10mm might be a bit too large. Tough to say though from the pic, but I think its a 9mm.

Not a fan of the skin-tight skinny jeans and sky-high wedges. Ever. On anyone. General "meh" for this look.

I like everything but the jeans and wedges.. the skinny's do not look flattering on her. I like the blazer and top.

I just wanted to say (before I begin with Kate) that Eugenie and Beatrice look gorgeous! Kate looked nice, but I guess I've sadly become used to her. :( Anyway, a lovely casual look for Kate...but I think that she may want to try a different fit of jeans/pants/trousers. She has a lovely figure, but I think there are more flattering and appropriate fits out there.
