Catherine, Princess of Wales, best known as Kate Middleton, visited Riversley Park Children’s Centre in Nuneaton, England, on Thursday, wearing a green and white leopard-print shirtdress from Cefinn Studio. She met with health visitors taking part in a trial to evaluate the use of the Alarm Distress Baby Scale.
Middleton’s ensemble featured a waist tie and puffed shoulders. She coordinated the dress with white Jimmy Choo pumps and accessorized the look with Kiki McDonough citrine earrings.
Cefinn Studio was founded by Samantha Cameron, the wife of former U.K. prime minister David Cameron, who served in the role from 2010 to 2016. Samantha has had a longstanding career in the fashion industry as the former creative director of Smythson from 1997 to 2010. She took on a part-time creative consultancy role at Smythson after her husband became prime minister.
