Royal fashion watchers, assemble— Kate Middleton and Princess Charlotte just pulled off one of the most stylish mom-and-daughter matching moments we’ve seen in ages. During the 2025 Trooping the Colour ceremony, the duo stepped out in coordinated aquamarine looks that felt less “stuffy tradition” and more like a Vogue cover shoot, Windsor edition.
Aquamarine Is Now a Royal Power Color

She topped it off with a sculptural Juliette Botterill hat and pearl drop earrings that once belonged to Queen Elizabeth. And of course, she added the Irish Guards Regimental Brooch. The look had style, but it also delivered on royal tradition.

Her light aqua dress came with a neat white bow at the waist and a matching ribbon in her half-up braid, making the whole look scream “future style icon loading.” Add white ballet flats, and boom—this isn’t just royal kid style; it’s Pinterest-core.
Mini-Me Energy, But Make It Regal

The occasion? Trooping the Colour—aka the King’s Birthday Parade, even though King Charles’ actual birthday is in November. The June celebration is a legacy move dating back to the 1700s, but the Middleton girls made it feel fresh.
Expect Charlotte’s look to inspire flower girl Pinterest boards and ballet flat purchases everywhere. And if you weren’t team aquamarine before… you might be now.
