I actually hate peplums and I’m so glad they have gone out of style. I never liked them even when they were the height of fashion in the early 2010’s (and I think Kate held onto them too long). However, this look was so pretty and iconic because of the embellishments on the dress and, as you pointed out Jane, the earrings.
What a gorgeous Kate ensemble, and William with the umbrella is so sweet. Love the Pippa throwback as well and how fun that you have the bag! Have you ever done a post about different Kate items you’ve added to your own wardrobe? It would be fun to see a round up! I’ve purchased a few Kate items here and there thanks to your posting about them being on sale, haha!
do you think Kate and her family share jewelry? It seems they might share clothes, maybe that extends to accessories? I could explain the one-off uses of accessories...
I can't believe that was 12 years ago! I remember there was such a fuss over Pippa and the gun incident. She really was the it girl back then. Royal watching during Kate's first few years were so special, I miss it.
I loved loved loved the dress and especially the earrings I’ve always wondered if Kiki was loaning earrings for occasions it would have been clever business sense I’ve been looking for similar earrings ever since sigh
I don't recall seeing those pictures of Kate and William at the time. How charming! The dress is great - I love everything about it - but I agree it would look a bit dated now. I also think Pippa looks fab, like a true "it" girl. I also don't remember that story about the fake gun. I must not have been following royals much at that time.
I love a peplum and had nothing against the shape of this dress, and I’m also a fan of turquoises, but the colour of the turquoises against the blue/grey of the dress jarred for me, so it goes in the so-so section.
I've seen peplums out and about in the wild in 2024, so I'm not sure they have retreated entirely. I do not have an eye for what is current in fashion so this doesn't look dated to me, but I defer to those who follow fashion more closely.
I think this could be redone and worn today, and actually, I think this should be redone and reworn. Kate would score recycling points and get to wear a lovely dress again. Win win.

Does Kiki loan out pieces? I feel like there’s a few of those earrings she’s only worn once
I loved the embellishments on this dress. Big hit for me.

This would definitely be a fun round up to see!

I don't remember this Pippa headline at all, what a throwback!

I do love those earrings!
It is definitely one of my Kate Faves! I remember being stunned when she appeared, by the colors on the dress trim. Just wow! She looked so happy too!
The way the trim on the collar frames and highlights Kate's face is just gorgeous. What a clever but simple use of color.
