Kate as Diana. To be “a surprise”, the participation of the Duchess of Cambridge on the fourth day of Royal Ascot it appears rather thoughtful. The wife of the son of one of the fashion icon most important of all time paid tribute to that mother-in-law he never met with a white dress with black polka dots almost identical to that of Victor Edelstein worn by the Princess of Wales in 1988 at the same equestrian event. The dress could only be signed by Alessandra Rich.

That is in fact the number to dial when Kate wants to go dust off the scrapbook as he had already done on the occasion of return from the Caribbean tour. That the stylist of Italian origin now accredited in the Olympus of British fashion is based on Diana’s style, as she herself declared, is certainly not a mystery as it does not take who knows what skill to unite the duchess’s quotes dots scattered at each real passage.

In fact, Kate paired the polka dot outfit with a pair of earrings considered one of Diana’s favorites, those of diamonds and pearls from the South Seas.

Chris Jackson / Getty ImagesAfter all, this was an important appointment for Cambridges. After two years of absence, they would lead the royal procession in the first carriage on a day when no prominent members of the Windsor household are usually expected. But in this climate of readjustment, also in the year in which the Platinum Jubileethe look chosen for the occasion is one of the memorable ones.
In the torrid Berkshire racecourse today the three style queens were missing but Kate has abundantly filled the void. There was not Beatricepresent on the first day with a floral dress by Zimmermann and the second with a white outfit with rigorous lines. The sparkling wine was also missing Zara Tindall: she stamped the Ascot card on the first day with the watercolor dress by Anna Mason and the third with a Laura Green dress. The faithful Sophie of Wessex he had bet on the signed hat-trick Suzannah London with three very different outfits from each other despite the same hand.
Among the novelties of Royal Ascot 2022, the presence in the carriage of Lindsay Wallace next to Peter Phillips. The (not yet official) girlfriend of the Queen’s nephew as the son of Princess Anne, opted for a fresh pink dress with flared sleeves following the “Sophie effect“. However, the dress was from the beloved brand royals and celebrities, Beulah London. In particular, the “Yahvi” model available on the site at 640 pounds (745 euros and a few coins) is owned by Elizabeth Hurley at the Princess Mary of Denmark in velvet obviously passing through Kate who hangs it in the closet in olive green.
In addition to the affectionate racegoers (this is the name of the horse race goers) who usually treat the Ascot meadows like a catwalk, on the fourth day it was also spotted Carrie Johnson with a group of friends. The wife of British Prime Minister Boris showed up with a white dress signed Emilia Wickstead.
As we got to learn on the wedding day, Carrie Johnson loves to vary her wardrobe but with an eye to sustainability. And that’s why she usually hires her outfits on the site MyWparmiHQ just as he had done with the wedding dress. This one in particular went away for 25 pounds a day, about thirty euros, as the portal in which stands out the words «rented»On the image of the garment.
A choice to rent the clothes that he had not convinced the study published in 2021 by Environmental Research Letters in which it was stated that this solution did not reduce the impact on the environment due to transport, dry cleaning and the annexes and connected. And so we always return to her, the royal who cleared customs on re-wear of small and large brands in all circumstances.
And when a dress no longer uses it, what does it do? He passes it to his family. Nothing is thrown away at the Middleton house: mother Carole demonstrated it precisely at Ascot, who with absolute nonchalance took the fuchsia ME + EM dress from Kate and the hat from Pippa. If this is not a circular economy!
