Kate Middleton Suits Up in Oscar de la Renta to Visit a Children's Hospice

From Harper's BAZAAR

  • Kate Middleton attended the launch of Nook children's hospice today in Norwich, which will provide support for children with life-threatening illnesses.

  • The Duchess of Cambridge helped start an appeal to fund the hospice five years ago.

  • She wore a pink Oscar de la Renta skirt suit, which she's often re-worn.


Kate Middleton has recycled yet another familiar look in her royal wardrobe. Although she may often pull out a favorite Alexander McQueen dress or coat from her closet, this time, the outfit of choice was a berry pink skirt suit by Oscar de la Renta.

She's been seen in the ensemble multiple times throughout her royal career, including an appearance at the Royal Opera House in January. Before that, she wore the coordinates for a 2017 conference with the UK Guild of Health Writers.

For today's engagement, the launch of The Nook children's hospice, the Duchess of Cambridge completed her outfit with black tights, a clutch, and block heel pumps.

The opening of The Nook is a long-labored project for Duchess Kate. Five years ago, she helped initiate a public appeal to acquire funds for the center, which supports children with life-threatening illnesses. The $13 million facility is a part of the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices, of which Kate is a royal patron.

Upon arrival, the duchess greeted a group of school children and one of the young patients who would be cared for at The Nook. Her agenda for the visit included touring the hospice, met with families, and participated in arts and crafts activities.
