If there’s one thing we know about Catherine, the Princess of Wales, it’s that she’s undeniably sophisticated and impeccably stylish.

From her early days as a shy student to becoming a stunning working royal and mother of four, her style evolution has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Catherine has consistently wowed the public with her fashion choices, stepping out in one sensational outfit after another.

But even the most fashionable royals have their missteps, and the Princess of Wales is no exception.

One notable moment came during a royal tour of Sweden and Norway with her husband, Prince William. The pregnant Duchess of Cambridge once again looked radiant, but her outfit choice raised a few eyebrows. Catherine wore a blue velvet dress by London-based designer *Erum*, which she paired with black suede sandals and minimal jewelry, including silver earrings and her wedding ring. Her brown locks were styled in a neat updo, and her makeup was understated with a soft smoky eye and a light pink lip.

Some comments on X (formerly Twitter) included, “Catherine is in another Erum dress made from a furnishing fabric,” and “Why the black shoes?” Others were more critical, with one user calling the dress “ghastly,” while another tweeted, “Yikes, no wonder she clearly returned to her signature style.” For many, the blue velvet dress didn’t quite hit the mark, especially considering Catherine’s reputation for polished, elegant looks.

The royal tour will continue for a few more days, but fans of Catherine’s fashion are already speculating about what stylish surprises she might have in store for the next leg of the trip. Whatever she wears, it’s clear that the Duchess of Cambridge’s style transformation will continue to captivate the world.
