Getting sporty, Kate Middleton stopped by the Maidenhead Rugby Club yesterday in Maidenhead, Eng. The Princess of Wales visited the club to discuss the Shaping Us campaign and the role the community plays in supporting children.
Middleton hit the field, taking part in drills with local and professional rugby players. Opting for a more casual look, the royal was dressed in a bright blue jersey-style T-shirt in a baggy style with a rose patch on the front representing England’s national rugby union team.
The Princess’ shirt was worn tucked into deep blue joggers. Middleton’s trousers were high-waisted and made out of breathable stretch fabric with zipper pocket detailing and stitching down the legs.
Rounding out the look, Middleton donned small gold hoops and gathered her lengthy brown locks up into a slicked-back high ponytail, kept out of her face.
Ditching her go-to pointed-toe pumps, the royal laced up a pair of all-white athletic sneakers. The style was crafted of flexible and breathable mesh uppers with cushy rubber soles, pointed toes and lace-up closures, giving the footwear a sleek finish.
It’s not often Middleton wears sneakers but when she does, she gravitates towards a few specific brands. Whether playing a game of tennis or scrimmaging with professional rugby players, the Princess has been known to wear sneakers from top brands like Veja, Nike, Asics, Superga, Adidas, Marks and Spencer and New Balance among others.
Beyond the occasional sneaker, Middleton can often be found wearing pointed-toe pumps from Emmy London, Jimmy Choo, Prada, L.K. Bennett, Aquazzura and Stuart Weitzman, among others. Her go-to style is Gianvito Rossi’s 105 pumps but she has also been spotted multiple times in Emmy London heels.
