Her dress, which was a one-of-a-kind creation by Alexander McQueen, featured a v-neck that crossed over into a waistline and had long sleeves with shoulder fluff and gathered cuffs.

The midi-length dress had a gathered A-line shirt that added form to the silhouette.

While many royal watchers praised the standout color of the dress, not everyone was as enthusiastic with the accessories that were picked to complement the look.

Fans of the royal family speculated that the appearance was cheapened by the dark red clutch purse and the gold earrings that she wore when she came out wearing an all-red ensemble.

In particular, the earrings and the clutch bag caused a few people to raise their eyebrows.

Kate opted for a brand-new Philip Treacy hat in the same shade of red, as well as a brand-new pair of Jennifer Cimandi Lorenzo 105 red suite pumps, which retail for £580 but were worn without the strap by the Duchess of Cambridge.

Both items were purchased by the Duchess of Cambridge.

However, Kate’s followers didn’t seem to like her earrings and clutch bag.

Some people commented on how finished and polished her whole look was, and how the costume-style earrings didn’t fit in with the rest of her ensemble.

Some people said that the clutch bag appeared to be made of cheap material, and that it had a darker shade of red than expected.

One user, Jen Frazier 5, commented that the earrings made the outfit unwearable for them.

They believed that there is a certain time and place for costume jewelry, and this was not that moment or location.

Another user, amy__awn, loved the dress, hat, and shoes but felt that the style of the earrings was not compatible with the rest of the items.

They felt that the earrings resembled inexpensive fun and casual lunch earrings.

Barb__baft recommended a different pair of earrings from the princess’s jewelry box, saying that the earrings were dreadful.

They believed that she had a beautiful contemporary ruby set that she wore in Poland that would have been ideal for this look if she had worn it.

They adored both her hat and her hair and thought that P.O.

Liu always manages to appear stunning.

Regarding the handbag, Nelixa made the following comment: “She is stunning in red.

But the clutch is nothing short of a disappointment.”

Another person responded, noting that the clutch was vintage Hermes and that there was nothing disappointing about it.

While Nelixa added that the clutch was fine, they believed that it was not working with this outfit.

Another person jumped in and said that the clutch was hideous, and that it was the wrong shade of red.

They even thought that it looked like plastic.

Overall, Kate’s fashion choices at Royal Ascot garnered mixed reactions from her fans.
