Kate Middleton Just Shook up Her Style Uniform for the Second Time in One Day

Kate Middleton Just Shook up Her Style Uniform for the Second Time in One Day

New season, new Kate?

Kate Middleton just made another appearance at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show after she stepped out this morning to present her "Back to Nature" garden design.

The Duchess of Cambridge changed from the white eyelet blouse and capris she wore earlier in the day into a tiered floral Erdem dress as she took Queen Elizabeth for a tour around the garden. She also swapped out her white Superga sneakers for a pair of camel-colored wedges. (Yep, they're back!)

It's a more casual look for Kate, who usually favors a formal dress and high-heel combo (think: Jackie Kennedy). Her buttoned up floral look, with its lacey detail and Victorian era-inspired neckline, is a sartorial 180 from her traditional style.

Though her second appearance today wasn't nearly as dressed-down as her outfit during this morning's event, it's a decidedly more comfy chic look than we're used to seeing on her.

Earlier in the day, the duchess showed off the garden she had designed (which featured a nod to Princess Diana) to visiting schoolchildren, and even spent time roasting marshmallows by the fire and climbing up a tree house.

She also made an appearance at the gardens on Sunday, along with Prince William, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, and shared photos of their family excursion on the Kensington Palace Instagram account.

👀 We invite you to take a sneak peek at The Duchess of Cambridge’s #RHSChelsea ‘Back to Nature’ Garden! The woodland wilderness garden aims to get people back to nature, and highlight the benefits of the natural world on our mental and physical wellbeing. Speaking ahead of @The_RHS garden unveiling, The Duchess of Cambridge said: “In recent years I have focussed much of my work on the early years, and how instrumental they are for outcomes later in life. I believe that spending time outdoors when we are young can play a role in laying the foundations for children to become happy, healthy adults.” Some features of the #ChelseaFlowerShow garden include: 1. A swing seat hanging below the garden’s centrepiece, a high platform tree house, encouraging creative play and discovery for all generations. 2. The high platform tree house is inspired by a bird or animal nest and provides a wonderful place to retreat and look out through the trees. The treehouse is made from chestnut, with hazel, stag horn oak and larch nest cladding. 3/4. The garden is aiming to inspire interaction with the natural environment through its multi-sensory, green and blue plant scheme. The garden will be filled with incredible edibles, plants for craft activities, forest scents and a diverse range of plants, shrubs and trees of different heights and textures. The garden forms part of Her Royal Highness’s ongoing work on early childhood development and her mission to support efforts that give every child the best possible start in life. The Duchess has committed to making early childhood development the focus of her work in the years to come, and believes that providing children with the opportunity to spend time outdoors can play an important role.
