Archie Harrison’s beautiful auntie Kate Middleton does it again! HRH the Duchess of Cambridge pulled off another iconic look for the christening of the newest addition to Mountbatten-Windsor clan. From the moment we first met the future Queen Consort of the United Kingdom, we knew that she would be a style queen just like her beloved and late mother-in-law, Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. The two are often aptly compared because they share the same love of fashion and carry themselves with a similar royal poise. And at her nephew's blessed outing on Saturday, July 6, Kate paid a tasteful tribute to her husband Prince William's mom!

Like Lady Di, Kate has become known for her timeless style and her elegance

Always keeping it classic and elegant, the dynamic Duchess was pretty in pink for the family affair, donning a chic number by Stella McCartney. She wore her luscious locks down, taming them with a red bespoke Juliette Botterill headband and grounded her outfit - which may be a rewear from Queen Elizabeth's 2018 Christmas lunch - with matching red heels. For the private and very special occasion, Kate chose her beloved England-based designer to help dress her. The Valentine hues were super fitting for the summer event and matched Archie's grandma Doria Ragland. However, nothing stood out to us like her glistening teardrop earrings!

It seems the Duchess of Cambridge borrowed Princess Diana’s Collingwood pearl earrings for the meaningful event. It was a sweet full circle moment, as Diana wore the pair at Prince Harry's Christening in 1984. The thoughtful gesture no doubt helped to bring the late Princess' spirit to the family outing - not to mention it looked great with the outfit!
