Kate Middleton wears chic £800 Gucci blouse to visit Henry Fawcett Children’s Centre

Kate Middleton's modern makeover continued on Tuesday morning as she stepped out to visit the Henry Fawcett Children's Centre in Kennington wearing a pair of wide-leg trousers and a statement shirt.

The engagement is the second time the Duchess of Cambridge has ditched royal-appropriate dresses for the smart trouser shape, the first time was during a trip to Cyprus in December 2018.

Although seeing Kate in a contemporary trouser is rare, the duchess styled the Jigsaw item perfectly, offsetting the androgynous bottom half with a feminine pussy-bow shirt.

The statement blouse, in a trendy powder violet, is by luxury fashion house Gucci and is available to buy for £790. It also comes in stylish 2019 spring hues, bright green and coral pink.

In the past, Kate has stuck to a handful of trusted designers, such as Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham, but 2019 has seen Kate experimenting with more contemporary fashion houses.

This is the second time the 37-year-old has stunned in a Gucci ensemble this year. In February, she wore an elegant two-tone berry ball gown by the Italian label for the 100 Women In Finance Gala.

The duchess will also make a second appearance at the National Portrait Gallery later this evening, where we are sure her sartorial prowess will continue.
