For Tuesday’s meaningful occasion, Kate wore one of her favorite colors, red, and one of her preferred patterns, polka dots. But the look had surprising origins: it was designed by the fashion-world-favorite brand Rodarte. The Pasadena-based label, overseen by Californian sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy, is known for its romantic silhouettes and deeply researched art historical references.
While the designer was a surprise, the styling was more expected. The princess wore a printed silk twill midi dress paired with a Miu Miu purse and her favorite red Gianvito Rossi pumps, accessorizing with a ruby pendant necklace and matching diamond earrings.

In recent years, Kate has shown her support for cancer survivors and research regularly. In December 2025, she left a touching note at an art installation honoring those who had lost their lives to the disease. And when she announced her diagnosis, she said, “At this time, I am also thinking of all those whose lives have been affected by cancer. For everyone facing this disease, in whatever form, please do not lose faith or hope. You are not alone.”
