Kate Middleton Stuns in Chic Olive Power Suit by Victoria Beckham (& Pays Tribute to Queen Elizabeth)
Kate Middleton has delivered so many winning fashion looks that it's hard to keep track. In the past week alone, I saw the Princess of Wales don a flattering polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich, a plum-colored coat dress by Emilia Wickstead and a gorgeous all-white ensemble. Now, the royal is turning heads in a sleek power suit—complete with a meaningful accessory.
This week, Middleton attended the British Fashion Council's British Design Ceremony at 180 Studios to honor creatives and present the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. For the occasion, she wore an olive green suit by Victoria Beckham, featuring a double-breasted blazer with tortoiseshell buttons, and high-waisted pants. She donned the suit with a ruffled white top and completed the look with beige heels.

However, her power suit wasn't the only thing that caught my attention. The princess also accessorized with Bahrain Pearl Drop Earrings, which previously belonged to the late queen.
Aaron Chown -The pieces feature Bahraini pearls and diamonds, and the late queen originally received these earrings as a wedding gift from Sheikh Salman bin Hamad Al-Khalifa, the ruler of Bahrain, in 1947. She wore them on several occasions, so you may recognize them in several of her portraits.

They have since been passed down to Middleton, who has worn them quite a few times, most notably for Remembrance Day in 2024.

Middleton's choice of earrings was fitting for the British Fashion Council Foundation's Event, considering that she presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design to this year's winner, Patrick McDowell, founder of his namesake label. In addition, the royal toured design spaces with McDowell to learn about the U.K.'s thriving fashion industry and how their sustainable designs are created.
Keep the fabulous fashion looks coming, Kate.
