Kate welcomed the England women’s rugby team to Windsor Castle, choosing a perfectly fitting all-red outfit.
The Red Roses won the World Cup last September, and as patron of the Rugby Football Union, the Princess of Wales hosted a reception to celebrate.
Thirty-two players, along with team officials and staff, gathered with her at an event that blended protocol with the sporty atmosphere Kate enjoys.
Alexander McQueen’s red suit was the highlight. An asymmetrical crepe blazer paired with slim bootcut trousers, both in a “Welsh Red” hue that honors the British flag and the team’s colors.
No safe or neutral looks this time. Kate got straight to the point with an outfit that conveyed energy and support without saying a word. Gianvito Rossi’s red suede pumps completed the monochrome palette.
Accessories also played a role. Katherine James yellow gold pearl earrings and an Auree birthstone necklace with garnet.
Small details balanced the intensity of the red without competing with it. Kate knows that when an outfit speaks so loudly, the jewelry should complement it without being overpowering.
