In fashion, materials and colorways are no longer reserved for specific seasons — especially when it comes to tweed. Kate Middleton is well aware. When you're a working woman [1] expected to make public appearances like the Duchess of Cambridge, a little tweed dress that hits right above the knee is appropriate for Summer. Kate found the perfect look in this Gucci trimmed mini, which she wore for a visit to London's Victoria & Albert Museum to open a new exhibit [2].
This marks the first time Kate's worn the Italian fashion label [3], and it reminds us of the memorable tweed Chanel look [4] she chose for her 2017 tour of France, another instance when the duchess debuted a new designer. If you zoom in on the pearls that dot Kate's Gucci number, you can just make out the iconic logo [5], and Kate played up the sheath's cherry-red lining with a matching clutch.
Check out the details of Kate's full ensemble — she accessorized with her trusty L.K. Bennett pumps and Kiki McDonough earrings — then shop her exact Gucci dress along with similar pieces that will help to make a cool, sophisticated style statement on a warm Summer's day.
