ROYAL SURPRISE! Small element in Princess Catherine’s outfit conveys “too much” of an “emotional” fashion style
The Duchess looked stunning in a red Alexander McQueen coat, but it was her gloves that caught the attention of royal enthusiasts.
The royal family couldn’t believe it, a small detail in Catherine’s outfit had a profound meaning. At the St David’s Day Parade in Windsor on Wednesday, Catherine stepped out wearing a particularly meaningful accessory.
The event was attended by Duchess Catherine and Prince William, and Catherine looked elegant in a red Alexander McQueen coat. However, it was her gloves that caught the attention of royal fans.
Duchess Catherine attended the parade with the Welsh Guards, and a royal enthusiast noted on her social media that she wore one of their designs, which was confirmed by designer Ivika Milovanov Panesek. Catherine first wore these gloves in 2006. According to the designer, Catherine owns more than ten pairs of Ivica gloves, which she bought from a small shop in London.
One fashion expert noted that Catherine’s gloves are over 17 years old, having first been worn at Sandhurst during William’s farewell parade in 2006. One Kate fan expressed her appreciation for her enduring style, noting that she continues to wear red and that it seems to get more attractive over time. Another user highlighted that her choice symbolizes the link between past and present traditions.
While acknowledging the strength of her entire team, one social media user highlighted Kate’s ability to perfect her style. She wore the gloves to both William’s farewell parade and his first salute as a Colonel of the Welsh Guards. According to the designer, she bought nine pairs of shoes years ago, leaving people curious about other items she may have more than one pair of.
A devoted royal watcher paid tribute to Catherine, noting the remarkable quality of wearing gloves again after 17 years. The princess paired her red Alexander McQueen coat with Jan Vita Rossi suede boots and carried a black Mulberry Amberly bag for added elegance. She also wore a black Juliet Bottaril bow hat, her hair pulled back in a bun and dainty Asprey Daisy Heritage earrings.
