The Princess Of Wales’s Victoria Beckham Trouser Suit Might Be Signalling A New Style Era

For today's appearance, Kate Middleton was presenting the prestigious Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. It makes sense, therefore, that she'd choose the event, where she met with this country's brightest design talents as well as the British Fashion Council, to test drive a new look that stayed loyal to her personal style.

The Princess of Wales seems to be entering what you might call her 'corpcore' era by her suited-and-booted look at today's ceremony, which took place at 180 Studios, London, with a chartreuse trouser suit by another style powerhouse: Victoria Beckham.

Known for her whip-smart approach to trouser suits, and no stranger to a tailored moment herself, Beckham has become the favourite workwear destination for many a well-heeled individual (Middleton has worn her dresses on multiple occasions).

Not only was this suit tailored to perfection on Middleton, but it proved she's got her finger on the pulse of trending shades, chartreuse being a key colour for SS25.

The Princess of Wales paired her suiting with another hallmark of the corpcore look - court-heeled pumps, an accessory that she has repped since entering the public eye. This particular heel is Ralph Lauren, but you can find plenty of patent court heels with an elegant slingback design from Dune.

Haven't worn a trouser suit for what feels like a decade? Middleton might just persuade you to smarten up.
