Looking back at standout royal outfits, we noticed a little something: these power women love a good drop earring [1]. It's that statement-making extra that'll turn any shift or suit special, and Kate Middleton's got a go-to pair she wears with pretty much everything.

Combining Annoushka pearls with hoops from Kiki McDonough earrings, Kate's custom-made creation is perfect for everyday wear. The duchess has worn these babies with colorful coats [2], floor-length dresses, and even casual looks. Scroll through to see the accessory this stylish royal's been wearing since 2012. Then, check out the one shoe every royal owns [3].
