22 Times Kate Middleton Looked Pretty in Pink

Some people might save the brighter colors for warmer weather, but when it comes to the Duchess of Cambridge, she makes her own rules. In fact, it's obvious that Kate Middleton bends the weather to her fashion — she doesn't let a season go by without wearing one of her favorite colors. We have a sneaking suspicion that one of these colors might be pink. All the evidence is around us: the fancy dresses, the suit skirts, the formal gowns. They may vary in style, but pink is a definite, recurring theme.

It isn't always pink, but it doesn't have to be. Kate makes such a statement in her pink ensembles that they're hard to forget — even if she goes months without wearing the color. It's obvious that a little splash of color is important to the royal family, and Kate doesn't seem to be alone in her love for pink. Queen Elizabeth is well-known for her outfits from every hue in the rainbow, and it seems Kate is following in her footsteps. Pops of colors are a palace favorite.

Whether it's a neutral, hot, light, or simple pink, Kate wears them all — in every style, too! We see this on her outings with Prince William (and the kids, of course). If royal events aren't something to get dolled up for, then family time should be. Kate is always pretty, but here are all the times she was pretty in pink.

Louis Looks

What a beautiful dress! This is definitely a classic look for a day out with the kids. Although some moms would be hesitant to wear heels on grass, Kate is clearly confident. She looks amazing in pink with little Prince Louis. Remember when he was that small?!

Style & Flare

As if the color wasn't eye-catching enough, the flare on this dress has it all. There's nothing fancier than a skirt that has lots of pleating, and Kate clearly has a supply — not that we'd expect anything less from her. This pink look has got to be one of our favorites.

Yep, this is 100% something that should be worn at a gala. Getting to attend one of those is an honor in itself, but being in attendance with Kate Middleton must be something else! This gown is layered with pure magic (and a gorgeous neckline).

The texture on this dress is so elegant and simple. But the main event, of course, is the tiny baby bump Kate had at the time of this photo. We have to wonder if her maternity style had any effect on what a fashionable tot Louis has turned out to be?

If this doesn't win the award for Best Family Photo, we don't know what does. Kate is the definition of pink in this one — pink hat, pink cheeks, pink dress, and, of course, pink Charlotte. The Queen must have been proud of the coordination. They've got enough color for everyone!

Floral Flow

We see Kate receiving flowers from adoring fans all the time. On the whole, though, we love it just as much when Kate wears flowers, like on this dress. This floral dress really accentuates her perfect smile (and bright attitude).

Speaking of flowers, here's a perfect example of how Kate manages to make a bouquet look like an accessory. It's even a shade of pink that looks good with her outfit! Plus, she's got that natural pregnancy glow to really bring out her blush. Really, this whole situation is working for her.

Royal Wedding

Who could forget Princess Eugenie's wedding? Alongside the fairy tale event came all of the gorgeous outfits worn by the other royals, including Kate. Seriously — the Duchess of Cambridge looks like a fairy tale herself, and it wasn't even her big day.

Who else has gotten to tour Australia and New Zealand? Not many of us, obviously. But Kate does it in style — and still manages to get all of her royal duties taken care of in the process. She's the queen (er, duchess) of multitasking!

Vacation Vibes

If someone slapped a postcard slogan onto this picture, it would sell out. Despite the relaxed vibe of their outfits, Kate and Prince William had a lot of work to do on their Diamond Jubilee Tour. Of course, Kate looked perfect in pink, as always.

Old Friends

These two royals are looking sharp here! We miss the days when Kate and Prince Harry were this close. Despite the apparent split between the Sussexes and the Cambridges in more recent years, we still love them anyway.

We love seeing Kate and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, together, especially in this kind of outfit coordination. Their fashion styles are so complementary, and they always seem to be smiling when they're in each other's company. Rightfully so, duchesses!

Hot Pink Power

We all know how much the Duchess of Cambridge loves pastels. But sometimes she isn't afraid to go bold with her color. Kate's hot pink belted dress certainly turned heads when she debuted it a few years back. The design was simple, but the color is what caught people's eye.

Nowadays, we tend to see Kate rocking mostly suit skirts and coatdresses, since she's often all business during the day. Not that we're complaining! It's just rare to see the Duchess of Cambridge in such a "Hollywood" gown. Where can we get it?

Cute Coat

We love how Kate tends to go for pastels. This light pink coat is so cute — the color is barely there, and it's even wrapped up with a little bow! It looks as warm as it does fashionable. Shout-out to William for rocking that deep magenta tie, too.

Rosy & Glowing

We see that pregnancy glow, Kate. Her rosy cheeks almost match her coat! Even late into carrying Louis, the Duchess of Cambridge was still serving up style (as per usual) while cradling her baby bump. It's a naturally beautiful color on her.

Creamy Color

This look is classy and classic. The shade of pink is so light that it's almost white. But all that does is bring out the natural pink on Kate's cheeks. Less is more, they always say! In Kate's case, this definitely rings true, even if it's a pretty low-key look.

Naturally Beautiful

There's a reason natural colors sell out so fast — and it's because they look so good on just about anyone for any occasion. This pink may be more on the neutral side, but Kate proves that it doesn't have to pop to be stylish. This look warms us from the inside out.

Dance Date

During a visit to Funafuti, Tuvalu, William and Kate got to dance with the locals during the Vaiku Falekaupule ceremony. Kate's pink ensemble was fitting for the night, of course. Look at how much fun they're having (and looking good doing it)!

Sparkles in Belize

During William and Kate's 2022 Caribbean tour, she wore this little number in Belize, turning heads in the process. Her sparkly pink gown was designed by The Vampire's Wife, a brand that Kate has worn many times in the past. It looks so good on her!

Also during her Caribbean tour, Kate pulled out this pretty light pink shirtdress. It was a bit of a departure from what we've seen on her in the past, but that trip seemed to be all about trying out different colors and styles. This one was a major win!

Wimbledon Pink

Kate attends Wimbledon just about every year, and when she does, she never lets us down in the style department. Sure, she's in the spotlight, but we aren't usually this dressed up for a sporting event. This pink dress was the perfect choice for Kate in 2021.
