At the Order of the Garter Service at St George’s Chapel in Windsor, Kate Middleton once again demonstrated the polished formula that has defined many of her standout appearances this year.
After relying on her trusted Gianvito Rossi pumps for ANZAC Day commemorations and stepping out in Ralph Lauren “Celia” pumps at Easter, the Princess of Wales returned to another elegant pointed-toe silhouette for one of the most historic ceremonies on the royal calendar. The look leaned into a soft honey-butter palette that felt perfectly suited to the summer occasion while maintaining the refined elegance associated with her royal wardrobe.
Kate paired a bespoke Patrick McDowell coat dress with her beloved Gianvito Rossi “Gianvito 105” pumps in bisque suede, a style that has become a recurring fixture in her wardrobe thanks to its timeless design and versatility. The understated pumps complemented the ceremonial setting while reinforcing the classic footwear formula that continues to define many of her most memorable public appearances. Let’s take a closer look at the details of her ensemble.

Kate Middleton Rewears Gianvito Rossi “Gianvito 105” Pumps at the Order of the Garter Service
Catherine, Princess of Wales, has long been a fan of Gianvito Rossi shoes, so it was no surprise to see her wear another pair from her go-to shoe label.
She stepped into the Gianvito Rossi ‘Gianvito 105’ pumps, a style she has returned to frequently. The design featured a pointed toe and a slim stiletto heel, creating a long, clean line, while the low vamp helped elongate the foot.
The bisque suede finish softened the shoe’s structure, giving it a refined, versatile look, while the muted beige shade complemented the rest of her outfit.

Kate Middleton Wears a Bespoke Patrick McDowell Silk Damask Coat Dress in Windsor
Kate’s coat dress by Patrick McDowell came in a warm honey-butter tone and featured a sculpted, structured silhouette. Sharp shoulders and short, angular lapels framed the bodice, while tonal fabric buttons ran down the center front. I loved how the waist was cinched for a more defined silhouette before flowing into a soft A-line midi skirt that added soft movement.
The fabric, an English rose silk damask woven by Stephen Walters and Sons in Suffolk, gave the coat dress a soft depth, with a floral pattern that only becomes visible up close, keeping the design elegant and understated.
