We’re used to seeing Kate Middleton in dresses, gowns and frock coats – plus the occasional pair of skinny jeans when an appearance calls for casual clothing.
So it was surprising to see the 37-year-old today teaming a pair of high-waisted wide-leg trousers from high street brand Jigsaw, with a Gucci blouse, while visiting a children’s charity in south London.
Kate chose ensemble for an appearance at the Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre in Kennington, where she chatted to parents and played with little ones.
She completed her look with an Aspinal of London Mayfair lilac handbag and black suede high heels.
Unlike some of Kate’s custom pieces, this outfit is still available to buy – if you’ve got about £900 to spare.
The Gucci Pussy-bow Silk-crepe Blouse is £790 from Net-a-Porter.
While the Jigsaw Modern Crepe Straight Trousers are £130.
The outfit was praised by some fans for being elegant and understated, but others weren’t happy Kate was wearing Gucci. The company was recently caught up in controversy around a ‘blackface’ jumper that had to be removed from sale. Some people have called for a boycott of the brand and its clothing.
Disappointed to see Kate in Gucci again today.

Are we going to talk about the fact that Kate keeps rocking Gucci? It looks really bad to be wearing brand especially right now. Let’s be honest the blouse she’s wearing today is nothing special it didn’t need to be from them #DuchessOfCambridge #DoBetter
