Princess Kate Embraces the Déjà Vu Blue Trend For Surprise Appearance—And Her Necklace Is On Sale

Kate Middleton can't resist a trouser suit—especially when it's from her wedding dress designer, Alexander McQueen—and the Princess of Wales showed her ongoing devotion to the brand during a surprise appearance on Tuesday, June 10. Princess Kate, who serves as patron of London's Victoria and Albert Museum, looked all business in a blue pantsuit as she visited the museum's new V&A East Storehouse location.

For the occasion, the Princess of Wales wore an old favorite Alexander McQueen suit in one of 2025's hottest spring/summer color trends, Pantone's déjà vu blue. It's a medium blue hue that feels more summery than navy, but a bit more grown up than a powdery pastel. Alexander McQueen describes the shade as "electric navy," and Kate owns the designer's $2,590 leaf crepe jacket and $1,190 cigarette wool trousers in a rainbow of other shades, too—making her V&A appearance a true déjà vu moment.
