What does Kate Middleton dress like when she’s not on active princess duty? Gather round, because there’s just been a rare sighting. One Twitter user shared a sneakily snapped pic of Princess Catherine at the Houghton Festival in Norfolk wearing a ’fit that’s giving more Sandy from Grease than it is Mia Thermopolis. “One of the boys snapped kate middleton @ houghton 🤣,” reads the tweet.
For the laid-back hang, Kate paired a black off-the-shoulder going out top with black skinny jeans and her trusty white Veja sneaks. She wore her signature long brown hair loose and tucked behind her ears, revealing a pair of gold chandelier earrings. The princess was photographed, cocktail in hand, having an apparently lively conversation with a small group of gentlemen in a mostly empty pub.
While the look is definitely on the conservative side, it’s still a pretty major departure from what Kate wears on more official occasions. Even when she’s dressed down, the Princess of Wales tends to top a pair of jeans with a colorful blazer or classic knit pullover. She wore a Chanel jacket to a basketball game! We haven’t seen her in a going-out top since the 2000s at least.
According to the , Kate Middleton was convinced to go to the 24-hour Houghton music festival by her friend, Rose Hanbury. She appeared to be “in high spirits, ordering spicy margaritas, eating affogato, and speaking affably with the other members of her party.”
