Kate Middleton's Classic Beige Pumps Are $80 — & They're Still Available
July has proven to be the Duchess of Cambridge's most stylish month of 2019 yet. The royal, who has made nearly two public outings a week, has been spending much of her time on the stands at the All-England Club, taking in the 2019 Wimbledon matches both solo and with sister Pippa Middleton, sister-in-law Meghan Markle, and husband Prince William. That said, Her Royal Highness is certainly no stranger on the Wimbledon courts (she's been a regular attendee over the years), but Kate Middleton's classic beige pumps definitely are.
On July 14, whilst Markle was getting ready for her epic encounter with Queen Bey at the London premiere of The Lion King, Middleton and Prince William were in the royal box at Wimbledon. The two took in the nail-biting men's final between Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer, with the former taking home his fifth Wimbledon title after defeating longtime rival, Federer. Middleton, who's a patron of the All-England Club, was given the honor of presenting the trophies.
Fans got a close-up look at the duchess' latest Wimbledon outfit when she stepped onto the courts to hand out the trophies — and it's safe to say the royal is just as deserving of an award, too (well, a style award that is). Donning a pale-blue, textured flare dress by Emilia Wickstead, Middleton commanded all the attention while congratulating the 32-year-old Serbian tennis star on his victory. But the true outfit MVP wasn't the dress, but rather a new pair of heels that might just be duchess' most affordable shoes to date.
The Duchess of Cambridge's bone-colored block heels, which per the product description, draw inspiration from the '40s, feature an adjustable ankle strap for extra support and a sleek pointed-toe front. The best part, though? The fact that they're still available for purchase at Aldo (yes, it seems this royal loves the affordable retailer just as much as you do) for a reasonable $80.
Middleton tied together the look with a pair of baroque pearl earrings from In2Design, a $5,000 Cartier watch, and her sapphire engagement ring. Now that's how you do high-low style mixing right.
