Kate Middleton and Jill Biden stepped out for their first official meeting during Dr. Biden’s tenure as the first lady.

The American first lady and the British Duchess of Cambridge met in a visit to Connor Downs Academy in Hayle, U.K., amidst the ongoing G7 Summit in Cornwall. For the outing, the two coordinated attire in shades of pink, each giving a twist of their own personal tastes and style.

The Duchess opted for a below-the-knee strawberry pink dress complete with structured shoulders and a cinched waist whereas the first lady brought her color in a neon pink blazer layered over a white pleated dress and her signature pearls.

Both women, too, stayed in the same field when it came to footwear thanks to their patent nude pumps. Middleton’s pair featured a classic pointed-toe silhouette with a lifted stiletto heel; the design comes courtesy of Rupert Sanderson in the brand’s Malory design.

Biden’s choice then tapped Valentino in a slingback design, accented by a recognizable buckled logo across the toe; the first lady’s heels retail for $895 at Saks Fifth Avenue.
