There’s a reason it’s called “royal blue.” Those reigning always seem to look fabulous in the color!
Everyone’s favorite princess of this generation, Kate Middleton, visited the Royal International Air Tattoo with Prince Charles and Prince George.
It is the world’s largest military airshow. The handsome family wore color-coordinated white and blue outfits.

While both princes looked dashing in their uniformed ensembles, Kate was lovely in a structured Stella McCartney blue dress.

The Ridley stretch cady dress features a polished look perfect for a princess’ casual day out.
This is not the first time Kate has worn this dress. We all know that she is quite fond of recycling her clothes, which is admirable. We last saw her wearing this dress four years ago when she watched an Olympic tennis match at Wimbledon.

She paired it with one of her favorite blue blazers from Smythe and a pair of nude LK Bennett “Florete” nappa leather pumps to add more structure to the blue dress.

She finished the look with a dainty headband to keep her long locks out of her face during the windy day.

The Duke and Duchess met with RAF personnel and toured the static displays of aircraft from around the world. They also watched the flying show, which included a performance by the Red Arrows.
