Kate Middleton Just Hopped Out of the Car in 1 Red-Hot Summer Look

While Kate Middleton's daytime looks always maintain a certain element of sophistication, the duchess tends to choose season-appropriate shades. When it's hot, she goes for pastels or cream — just take her embroidered baby-blue coat dress for example. But today Kate was feeling daring as she stepped out for the Order of the Garter service in bright red. The Catherine Walker design is an old favorite — debuted in 2011 — and most of Kate's accessories were repeats as well.

Kate finished her look with a Lock & Co. fascinator and Alexander McQueen clutch, and she added special jewels including the Robinson Pelham diamond earrings from her wedding, an art deco bracelet from Prince Charles, and a Mappin & Webb pendant necklace. But Kate's suede shoes? Those babies are brand new, and they so clearly complement the color scheme. Read on to get another glimpse at the duchess's fiery style, and then check out a few lightweight silhouettes that will make you appear just as bold as Kate this Summer.
