Princess Kate might love a good trouser suit, but she went for vintage-inspired glamour at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s wedding on June 6. The Princess of Wales embraced one of her favorite shades, beige, while attending the ceremony alongside Prince William and other members of the Royal Family—a choice that former royal butler Grant Harrold calls a strategic decision.
The princess wore a belted Roland Mouret dress with a full, pleated skirt and a fringe-trimmed collar. It fits into the vintage aesthetic the Princess of Wales has been wearing lately, including the heart-print Rodarte dress she wore at a cancer charity reception last week. But importantly, the color—described as a “dark cream” by the designer—allowed Kate to blend in with the rest of the guests as much as possibly could.
