london – Nothing says polo like a 1,352-pound dress.
The Duchess of Cambridge knows the perfect opportunity to bring you a stunning designer dress.
Her white-belted cloak midi dress from Emilia Wickstead, teamed with Camilla Elphick sling-back flats and Finlay tortoiseshell sunglasses, was an easy choice for her husband, Prince William, into the spotlight.
She joined him for their annual charity polo match at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, which she would previously take part in with her brother, Prince Harry.
Middleton has been turning to Wickstead’s minimalist structural designs when she is on royal duties, which expects her to show support rather than listen. It’s a trait she’s quickly adapted to since joining the royal family in 2011.

Ivanka Trump wore the same dress to the White House in 2019 when her father spoke on the fentanol epidemic.
What it means to dress on two different women couldn’t be more contradictory. For Trump, it’s as powerful and sexy as accessorized with a wide white belt and huge stiletto heels.
Meanwhile for Middleton, it’s an easy summer dress that requires no fuss, endorsing British labels big and small.
Wickstead’s clean designs have become a trusted choice for women of all walks of life, whether in politics or Hollywood. Fans of the label include Renee Zellweger, Amal Clooney, Lauren Dern, and more.
For the Duchess of Cambridge, the Emilia Wickstead design represents no fuss, while simultaneously supporting British labels.

At Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee ceremony, she chose a pale yellow long-sleeved midi number from the designer, which was quite the star of the show without being too different.
Middleton wore a light blue textured dress to the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in 2019 and a nearly identical version in emerald green in 2021, both from Wickstead.
The Royal Charity Polo Cup is expected to raise £1 million for the couple’s 10 chosen charities, including London’s Air Ambulance Charity, homeless organization The Passage and East Anglia’s Children’s Hospice.
If hot girl summer and Y2K fashion is for the TikTok generation, then the rich royal summer is for adults with the wealth to make a splash on the likes of Emilia Wickstead.
