Kate Middleton Is Champion of the Match Game
What goes better with a pretty dress than a posh royal? How about shoes and heels to match. Kate Middleton has already conquered the coat and hat game, but true to her family's lineage, she's mastered yet another skill that's made us take notice: the art of coordination.
Once put down for being too rigid, the matchy-matchy aesthetic has gotten a major vote of confidence from the Duchess, who has worn shoes to match her dress, bags to match her heels, and everything in between (can you say coat-and-fascinator set? She sure did). So we're bowing to Kate's most excellent wardrobe harmony and awarding her a medal of coordination for the following looks.
