Kate Middleton Rocks Rainbow 1950s’ Outfit With Amazing New High Street Heels

The Duchess of Cambridge wore one of her most colourful outfits to date on the first day in Jamaica as she and Prince William visited Bob Marley’s old Kingston neighbourhood of Trench Town.  The historic Kingston neighbourhood was home to Bob Marley and where he wrote the iconic song No Woman No Cry.

Kate wore an incredible 1950’s dress which was purchased at William Hilson Vintage. Costing £369 on the brand’s website, the site says of the bold design: “This eye-catching 1950’s dress, in a wonderful striped palette of turquoise blue, coral, and yellow with a black filigree pattern, is the perfect piece to add to your vintage wardrobe.”

The standout frock had thin shoulder straps, a straight cut neckline with a turned-down collar along the edges. The fitted bodice had a cinched waistline and the full skirt had small gathered pleats along the waistband. The colours meshed together so well! We’ve shopped a similar style should you wish to take inspiration from the Duchess.

Kate teamed the look with a stunning new pair of shoes by luxury high street brand Russell & Bromley. The 40-year-old chose the ‘Impulse Sling Back Courts’ which were made in natural raffia fabric. Costing £195, they also come in cream and tan and all sizes are available online.
