Just a day after wearing a bold blue coat dress for King Charles III's Scottish coronation ceremony, Kate Middleton wore a second blue look in just as many days (there was another one, with polka dots, during a surprise visit to a baking competition, too). Today, she attended the Royal Charity Polo Cup 2023 at Flemish Farm in Windsor wearing an airy printed blue dress that's a master class in keeping cool without eschewing all of her princess-approved fashion moves. The dress featured long sleeves and hit just above her ankles, two style choices that Kate keeps for most of her royal occasions (that don't involve show-stopping gowns, that is).

Kate's dress looked light and breezy and the sleeves had a touch of volume to keep her comfortable in the bright sun. She added a pair of brown sunglasses to the look and carried a chain-strap bag in a matching blue shade. Simple hoops and a chunky bracelet finished the look, which is perfect for just about any occasion on her royal schedule as the temps climb.

The Royal Charity Polo Day, which included an appearance in the third round from Kate's husband, William, has raised over $1.2 million for various charities. In the 12 years that the event has been taking place, it has raised $15 million for "well-deserving causes that The Prince and Princess are passionate about," their office said in a statement.
