The Duchess of Cambridge loves a bright white suit. In the past Kate Middleton has worn ivory Roland Mouret separates, as well as a Self-Portrait skirt set that had hints of Bianca Jagger, demonstrating her taste for tailoring in neutral shades. She returned to a familiar favorite on June 22 to join Prince William at the unveiling of the National Windrush Monument in London.
The duchess chose a white suit that she wore earlier this year on her trip to Jamaica with Prince William. The crisp set in question is by Alexander McQueen, and comprises a single-breasted jacket and matching high-waist tailored trousers. Kate Middleton really committed to the color, opting for a white tank top underneath the jacket, a white pair of pointed leather pumps, and a white Mulberry Amberley cross-body bag.
Earlier this year the Duchess of Sussex also waved the flag for white suits when she wore Valentino to the Invictus Games. And while the look is still trending—with help from famous fans like Adele, Bella Hadid, and Jared Leto—what’s really fashionable right now is rewearing items that are already in your wardrobe.
The unveiling of the statue, the work of Basil Watson, at Waterloo Station marked a hugely important moment. Watson has described it as a tribute to the ambition, courage, and contribution of the Windrush Generation—the pioneers who arrived from Commonwealth countries after the Second World War, and helped to rebuild Britain.
The Duke of Cambridge said in a speech that it was a “privilege” to join members and descendants of the Windrush Generation for the unveiling. “Over the past seven decades, the Windrush Generation’s role in the fabric of our national life has been immense,” Prince William said. “Indeed, every part of British life is better for the half a million men and women of the Windrush Generation.”
