Kate Middleton visited the V&A (Victoria & Albert) Museum in London this morning for a look at its newest exhibits; Middleton became a patron for the museum in 2018.
For the outing, the Duchess of Cambridge opted for a bold red dress with a black checkered finish; formed with a lapel-style collar and a button-up front, the design bears resemblances to pieces from Italian-born, London-based designer Alessandra Rich.
When it came down to footwear, the royal family member decided on a bold set of heels from Jennifer Chamandi. The Lorenzo silhouette from Chamandi, a British shoe designer of Lebanese origin, features a classic pointed-toe design modernized with signature “Eye of the Needle” gold buckle across the front and heel. The stiletto measures close to 5 inches in height, all coated in a black suede upper.
You can shop similar silhouettes to Middleton’s choice of heels from $715 to $750 at Bergdorf Goodman and Net-a-Porter.
Watch on FN
In her royal style rotation of stylish heels, Kate Middleton tends to include pumps from Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman, Emmy London and Gianvito Rossi amongst other top brands.

Beyond her designer heels and frocks, the Duchess of Cambridge also loops in a series of more wallet-friendly brands; Castañer is just one of many affordable labels that she frequents in addition to styles from New Balance, Zara, Marks & Spencer, Adidas and Superga.
