Let’s discuss Princess Catherine’s recent appearance at the Future Workforce summit. As you know, her wardrobe is filled with jacket suits in every color and from every designer, her perfect uniform for daytime events without much protocol.
But this time, she decided to play a little with her signature “working look” and let a silk blouse with ruffles be the focal point of her outfit.
The piece, by Knatchbull, features mother-of-pearl buttons and a movement that completely changes the vibe of the ensemble.
How did her style connect with her message at the event?
Interestingly, this look accompanied an important speech. Catherine took the stage to reiterate a message she has been emphasizing for years: investing in early childhood is crucial, and private companies need to be much more involved.
On stage, she didn’t want her clothes to steal the spotlight, but when you choose such a special garment, it’s impossible not to comment on the effect it had.
The gray suit served as a solid foundation, and the blouse added a touch of light that softened the formality without diminishing her authority.
Where did this much-discussed blouse come from?
You may remember her from a recent appearance: she debuted it during a rugby match between England and Australia, while mourning the death of the Duchess of Kent. Then she wore it with a black suit.
Today, she revisits it with a more optimistic flair, pairing it with a dark tote bag that completes the look without overshadowing the main detail. I like it when she reuses clothes and gives them a different twist.
