While mere mortals might fall victim to the laws of gravity in such a situation, the Princess of Wales masterfully maneuvered nude stilettos on grass at a charity polo match on July 6—with a glass of Champagne in hand, no less. She should teach classes on this.
Princess Kate was at the Guards Polo Club to cheer on her husband, Prince William, who was competing in the annual match to help raise money for a variety of charitable causes, per . Sporting event or not, Kate always dresses the part of the princess, down to the elegant high-heel shoes. At this event the princess wore a midi-length Beulah London dress in a summery shade of light blue, with a vintage-inspired white floral pattern. She added a few pieces of simple jewelry, a cross-body handbag in a matching shade of blue, sunglasses, and nude slingback stilettos to complete the look.
Photos show the princess confidently striding across the grassy lawn, sipping from a Champagne flute, and enthusiastically cheering on the players from the sidelines, all without appearing to stumble even once.
In one picture, Kate raises her arms above her head in celebration. In another, she walks across the field alongside her husband and some other players from the match.
The princess’s ability to maintain her poise while wearing highly impractical footwear in less than ideal conditions has been a mystery for some time. In November 2022, for instance, she garnered general praise for gracefully navigating some muddy terrain while getting the heel of her shoe temporarily stuck in the ground. And in May she traversed the lawn of a fancy garden party, per , in a pair of metallic stiletto pumps without incident.
All I’m saying is I would pay good money for a tutorial in walking across grass like a princess by Kate Middleton.
