The Only Shoes Kate Middleton Wears for Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace

Kate Middleton is definitely playing favorites. No, not with her ridiculously cute kids, but with her shoe choices. Today, she attended the first official Royal Garden Party of the year at Buckingham Palace, which is held every May. She looked every bit the princess in a millennial pink Alexander Wang coat dress, Loeffler Randall Tab Clutch ($250), and a Juliette Botterill fascinator along with Gianvito Rossi 105 Suede Pumps ($695).
Given how closely I cover Kate Middleton's style, it should come as no surprise that I would recognize the familiarity of Middleton's shoe choice. A little bit of photo digging confirms that she's worn the exact pair to the last three years of Royal Garden Parties at Buckingham Palace, including 2017 and 2016. (She skipped the event in 2018 because she had just given birth to Prince Louis mere weeks prior.) Scroll down to see how she's styled the same shoes over the years and shop similar pairs for yourself.
