This week, the royal family and their close relatives turned out in force to celebrate Royal Ascot, and they did so with impeccable style. Among the attendees were Princess Kate, Zara Tindall, Queen Camilla, and two members of Kate's family: her mother, Carole Middleton, and her sister-in-law, Alizée Thevenet.
Alizée Thevenet's Ascot Look
Alizée, who is married to Kate's brother James, seemed mindful of reuniting with her glamorous in-laws on the royal balcony. She chose to wear one of Kate's favourite jewellery brands for the occasion, a thoughtful gesture that may signal mutual respect. Alizée selected a pair of exquisite Sézane Colombe golden ecru earrings, priced at a surprisingly affordable £85 for a near-royal. Crafted from recycled pewter and resin, they feature fine gold plating and surgical steel posts left unplated to prevent allergic reactions. The earrings are shaped like seashells and adorned with pearl-like drop detailing.
Alizée complemented her earrings with a pretty white dress embroidered with pink flowers, featuring vintage-style eyelet lace detailing. She accessorised the maxi dress with a bag and shoes from Longchamp. However, it was the Sézane Colombe earrings that truly captured attention.
Kate's Affinity for Sézane
Kate is a well-known fan of the brand, with at least seven pairs of Sézane earrings in her jewellery collection. Notably, she wore the brand's mother-of-pearl and gold earrings during a visit to Jamaica in March 2022. This consistent choice underscores her appreciation for the brand's elegant and sustainable designs.
Kate's Ascot Outfit
On the same day, Kate re-wore her Roksanda Brigitte Dress in a sunny shade of bright yellow. She had previously worn this midi dress to the 2022 Wimbledon finale. The dress features a tailored silhouette, a full skirt, and an oversized bow detail on the shoulder. Although Kate's dress is sold out, affordable alternatives are available. The Sorelle Belted Midi Dress Yellow from Girl in Mind is priced at £53 and offers a similar fit-and-flare silhouette with a ruffled bow on the shoulder and a belted waist. Meanwhile, Nobody's Child offers the Yellow Frill Sleeve Lola Midi Dress on sale for £45, down from £75.65.
