Princess Kate, Meghan Markle and Zara Tindall may have different fashion tastes, but they share one wardrobe trick: a statement belt. These accessories can make simple outfits look polished without a full wardrobe overhaul.
Princess Kate's Luxury Belt
The Princess of Wales wore a £250 Victoria Beckham belt, the Portofino Mirror Belt Micro, in burgundy with a slim strap and gold-tone buckle. It is made in Italy from 100% calf leather and available in sizes 70cm to 100cm.
Stylists suggest pairing it with high-waisted tailored trousers, a crisp white shirt and loafers, or using it to cinch a floaty midi dress, oversized blazer or autumn denim.
Zara Tindall's Countryside Chic
Zara Tindall wore a Fairfax & Favor Sennowe Belt in chocolate-brown suede at British Champions Day. The 45-year-old royal paired it with a tailored tweed blazer for a waist-cinching finish.
Handcrafted in Portugal from sustainably sourced suede and leather, the belt features a gold-tone chevron buckle and the brand's signature shield detailing. Available in sizes XS, S and M, it costs £70.
Meghan Markle's High-Street Alternative
Meghan Markle wore a £26 Marks & Spencer belt that has since sold out. An alternative from Accessorize, priced at £17.99, offers a similar burgundy shade and gold-tone buckle with a chunkier, Western-inspired design.
Made from 100% faux leather, the belt comes in sizes S, M and L and is suitable for cinching blazers, tailoring trousers or adding definition to autumn dresses.
