Kate Middleton is back with another effortless style moment. While honoring World Mental Health Day on Oct. 12, Middleton and husband Prince William visited SportsAid at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre in Marlow, Buckinghamshire, to participate in a series of mental fitness workshops organized by the charity. For the charitable occasion, the Princess of Wales showed her sporty side with a white top, Mother Denim skinny jeans, and a now-sold-out royal-blue blazer from Zara. She completed the outfit with her longtime-favorite white Veja sneakers. The prince also got the blue memo, wearing a navy sweater over a collared shirt with matching trousers and dark-green sneakers.
The former Duchess of Cambridge’s latest look recalls Princess Diana’s outfit when she paired a blue blazer with black separates for a visit to the San Lorenzo restaurant in London in 1994. This isn’t the first time Middleton successfully paid homage to her late mother-in-law through fashion. Most recently, she wore a green blazer with a white lapel for Wimbledon 2023, reminiscent of Diana’s blazer for Trooping the Colour in 1988. The 41-year-old also infamously wore a blue-and-white polka-dot Jenny Packham dress after giving birth to Prince George, much like Princess Diana’s appearance in a green-and-white Catherine Walker piece with William 21 years earlier. Similarly, Middleton honored her at this year’s Trooping the Colour in an Andrew Gn green suit with a Philip Treacy hat, accessorizing with Princess Diana’s famed sapphire-and-diamond earrings.
Middleton is making her own sartorial mark as well, often incorporating a healthy mix of luxury and accessible pieces in her outfits. She recently introduced the perfect fall uniform, including a pair of gray Sézane trousers, retailing at only $170. She then nailed the Barbiecore trend in an Alexander McQueen bubblegum-pink suit during a May visit to London’s Foundling Museum.
Ahead, see a few more angles of Middleton’s sporty outfit and shop her exact Veja sneakers, along with similar options.
