Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, made her first public appearance in nearly six months since her unexpected cancer diagnosis. She attended Trooping the Colour, an annual military ceremony in London. Middleton wore an elegant white and black dress from Jenny Packham with a matching white and black Philip Treacy hat, pearl ear-rings by Cassandra Goad, and a brooch from the Irish Guards, reflecting her role as an honorary colonel. She completed her outfit with a clutch bag from Mulberry, which costs $750, and high heels from Jimmy Choo. Trooping the Colour was held in honor of the official birthday of King Charles, to which the royal family gathered in London for the military parade, where hundreds of soldiers, horses, and musicians put on national shows in tribute to the king.
