Kate Middleton Wears A Blue Elie Saab Dress To Kick Off Royal Ascot

Twinning with HRH

After kicking off the week in a chic Catherine Walker coat dress for an event with equally stylish royal Queen Letizia of Spain, the Duchess of Cambridgeturned things up a notch for the first day of Royal Ascot, stepping trackside in a stunning pale blue dress by Elie Saab. 

Kate Middleton and Prince William arrived in the royal carriage procession with Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, while HRH – who also wore blue for the occasion – was joined in her carriage by Prince Andrew, the King of the Netherlands Willem-Alexander, and his wife, Queen Máxima.

Kate matched her blue dress with a Philip Treacy hat in the same colour, Kiki McDonough earrings and silver pumps. She wore her hair in a low bun and kept her makeup look minimal.

Another of our favourite royal looks was that of Zara Tindall, who paired a floral Zimmermann dress with a pale blue hat, similar to that of the Duchess of Sussex, and nude Gianvito Rossi heels.

Blue seemed to be the colour of the day with Queen Elizabeth and her granddaughters, Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice, matching Kate – and Zara’s hat’s – colour palette.
