Hello-Hello, and welcome to our post asking you to vote for your favorite Trooping the Colour look. This one is fun, as the looks are fairly distinctive from year to year. The pieces have varied in style, along with the accessories and hairstyles Kate has chosen.
We begin with Kate’s first appearance at the event in 2011. She wore a double-breasted Alexander McQueen coat. It featured what the company described as a “softly pleated and tiered Samurai skirt.” Kate’s hat was by Lock and Company.
We are back with some additional thoughts on Kate’s tour wardrobe, as well as our polls looking at what she wore in Poland and Germany.
We begin with thoughts from Vanessa Friedman of the NY Times in a column titled The Duchess of Cambridge and Family Refine the Art of Pantone Politics. The piece looks at the “canny use of the family’s clothing to present a coordinated picture of friendship and cultural awareness.”
But it was the two moments of arrival in each country, when the Cambridges deplaned en masse and in theme, that made the most impact. Why was that? Well, because they got the whole family involved!
Landing in Warsaw, for example, they were a symphony in (mostly) red and white, Poland’s national colors: the duchess in white Alexander McQueen; the duke in a navy suit, white shirt and red tie; Princess Charlotte in a red-and-white smocked dress and red shoes; Prince George in a red-and-blue check shirt and navy shorts.
Here is a refresher photo.
This afternoon Kate visited survivors of the London Bridge & Borough Market terror attacks at King’s College Hospital.
