Kate Middleton’s Red Dress at Royal Ascot: Fans Divided Over Accessories
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, made a stunning appearance at day four of Royal Ascot, dressed entirely in red.
The custom-made Alexander McQueen gown had long sleeves with a little shoulder puff and gathered cuffs, a V-neck that crossed over into a waistline, and a belt.
The midi-length dress had a gathered A-line shirt that gave the silhouette some structure.
Kate also opted for a brand-new Philip Treacy hat in the same shade of red and a brand-new pair of 580lb Jennifer Tremendi Lorenzo 105 red sweet pumps, which she wore without the strap.
While many royal fans appreciated the color and the overall look, some weren’t lovers of the accessories she chose.

There were several questions about the earrings and clutch bag in particular.
Her Cezanne Esme gold brass earrings presented yesterday didn’t mix in with her overall finished and polished look, according to several fans, who also objected to Kate’s clutch bag.
Some people commented that the clutch bag’s material appeared cheap and that it was a darker shade of red.
“The earrings destroy it for me,” said Jen Frazier 5.
“Costume jewelry has its place and time, but this is not one of them.
I love the dress, hat, and shoes,” tweeted Amy_Oz_Uld.
“Kate looks gorgeous.
The earrings, in my opinion, don’t fit the overall style of the outfit.
They resemble affordable, enjoyable, casual lunch earrings.
Love the outfit, the color, and especially the cap,” wrote Ash Bednar.
But others disagreed, saying that the accessories worked well with the dress.
“In my opinion, these circumstances and this clothing are simply too informal and bohemian for the Cezanne earrings.
A different pair of earrings in the princess jewelry box were proposed by Barb_Abethed.
The earrings look terrible.
She has a stunning contemporary ruby set that would have been ideal for this outfit and that she wore in Poland.
Fabulous hat and hair.
P.O.U.
looks stunning at all times,” said one fan.
Regarding the clutch bag, some fans thought it was a letdown.
“She looks stunning in red.
But, the clutch is a complete letdown.
It’s vintage Hermes, nothing disappointing about it,” said Melixa.
But others thought it didn’t fit with the overall look.
“The clutch is good, but not fitting with this ensemble,” added Melixa.
Another fan remarked, “The clutch is revolting.
In correct red, it appears plasticky.”
