Kate Middleton visited the Factory Works in Birmingham, England, on Tuesday in a bright yellow L.K. Bennett jacket as she acknowledged World Mental Health Day with her husband, Prince William. The Princess of Wales kept the rest of the look minimal with a black shirt and classic black trousers.
Middleton accessorized the ensemble with star earrings from BraveMind. She completed her look with pointy-toe black pumps. Middleton’s earrings were a gift from Sarah Renton, the coach of Maidenhead Rugby League, in memory of the coach’s late daughter Issy, who passed away tragically earlier this year.
Prince William kept his style classic in a navy suit, light blue shirt and navy tie.
