How frontline Kate went all business with the appropriate look, but kept the fun with a royal rainbow of colour
Kate’s taste for power dressing isn’t entirely new, but a polished and more businesslike aesthetic has taken over from her previous uniform of structured dresses and occasion jackets.
The suit, which exudes an aura of power and success, is now an outfit of sorts for Kate in her new role as a senior royal.
It certainly made her feel more businesslike.
At the same time, Catherine has added a playful note by choosing to wear the tailoring in numerous spicy, striking shades.
From vibrant purple Emilia Wickstead to scarlet Alexander McQueen and forest green Burberry, all the colors of the rainbow have added a touch of style to her workwear wardrobe.
Royal Purple
It was a rich shade of purple for the Princess of Wales last week as she hosted a conference at the Design Museum in London, presenting the findings of new research from her Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood.
