Becks, Posh, Kate, & Pippa at Wimbledon

9 Jul

Yesterday was the men’s Wimbledon Championship match between Roger Federer and Andy Murray, where Federer took home the trophy. Many were in attendance, including David & Victoria Beckham, and Kate & Pippa Middleton. The Beckhams looked glamorous as always. Kate wore her previously seen Joseph dress, which she wore during her North American Tour with William last year. She also carried a Diane von Furstenberg Leopard Print Clutch and wore her LK Bennett Sledge pumps. It was a rare sight to see her wear sunglasses in public, but according to What Kate Wore, she wore Givenchy Obsedia glasses. Pippa wore a dress from Project D.

Back on July 4th, William and Kate attended Wimbledon together. Kate re-wore one of my favorite outfits of hers by Alexander McQueen, which she wore in Canada back on July 4, 2011, as seen in my previous post. Here she is last week:

Kate Was Royal in Red: Diamond Jubilee River Pageant

3 Jun

Today, in London, a river pageant for the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee took place along the River Thames. Although it was a day for the Queen, many eyes were anxiously awaiting the fashions to be worn by the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine. Kate wore a gorgeous, red Alexander McQueen dress and clutch, paired with a hat by Sylvia Fletcher, whom is a royal milliner for James Lock & Co. She also wore her trusty LK Bennett Sledge Pumps.

William wore his Royal Air Force (RAF) Flight Lieutenant No 1 dress uniform, and Harry wore his No 1 Ceremonial dress of the Blues and Royals and Army Air Corps light blue beret:

Kate was also carrying a scarf made of Strathearn tartan as a nod to her Scottish title the Countess of Strathearn:

On Kate’s dress, she wore a maritime-themed brooch that featured two silver dolphins. It was a gift from the Royal Navy Submarine Service of which William is Commodore in Chief:

The Queen wore an outfit designed for her by Angela Kelly and her team at Buckingham Palace. It was made of white bouclé and embellished with silk ribbon and Swarovski crystals:

I’ve always wondered what she keeps in her purse! Love that she always carries one!

Duke & Duchess Lend Support to Families Affected by Riots

19 Aug

Today, the Duke & Duchess of Cambridge visited Summerfield Community Centre in Birmingham, UK to meet with families affected by the horrid riots. While there, Duchess Catherine donned a new outfit by Alexander McQueen.

Although I love seeing new outfits worn by Kate, I understand that the main focus should be the fact that the Duke and Duchess took the time to talk with families who were tragically affected by the recent riots.

Cheers, andrea ♥
