From chic Zara dresses to royal re-wears, Kate Middleton knows how to make the most of her closet. And although the 37-year-old Duchess of Cambridge rocks couture like a pro, she’s also a venerable expert at dressing up low-cost finds. When she and her husband, Prince William, attended Wimbledon yesterday, she basically taught a master class on how to mix high and low fashion.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in London to watch Switzerland’s Roger Federer face off against Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in the Men’s Singles Final. Middleton is patron of the AELTC and, in addition to enjoying her time as a spectator, was tasked with giving both athletes trophies at the game’s close.
To fulfill her patron duties, Middleton wore a now sold-out custom version of the Emilia Wickstead Jordin midi dress. The dress retailed for $1,675 before the Middleton effect took place, but her shoes were of the more affordable variety.
