The Duchess is back!
Four months after welcoming Princess Charlotte, Kate Middleton returned to work on Thursday, Sept. 17, for a visit to a children’s mental health center in London. Although the Duchess of Cambridge, 33, officially debuted her new bangs, it was the oh-so-appropriate houndstooth dress that Us Weekly editors couldn’t take their eyes off.
The “Austin” shirtdress by Ralph Lauren Black Label is shockingly still available in a variety of sizes on Ralphlauren.com as of press time. The black-and-white belted style will set you back a cool $1,595, however.
Middleton’s black heels are slightly more affordable. The “Power” pumps by Stuart Weitzman (a Duchess go-to!) retail for $355 at Nordstrom.com. Like the dress, the staple shoes have not been hit by the “Kate” effect and still have many sizes available.
The return to her official obligations comes after a family-focused break. A source tells Us Weekly that Middleton is feeling “refreshed and full of energy.”
