Since joining the dream world of royalty, Kate Middleton is used to being scrutinized from head to toe. When it comes to fashion, the princess demonstrates unparalleled loyalty. Among his favorite brands, we find many French labels… including this ultra popular (and inexpensive) sneaker brand among the people at Fashion Sphère.

Each of his appearances is greeted as an epiphany by fans of the Monarchy, and seen as blessed bread by the media and magazines. On September 9, Kate Middleton made a very notable public (re-)appearance after months of deserting the media space. While some began to analyze his body language to try to decipher the seriousness of his state of health, others focused on “lighter” elements like his style. This time, the eyes of the whole world were glued to his feet… And in particular to his shoes.

The former commoner is accustomed to chic and casual looks: outside of formal ceremonies, it is therefore common to see her wearing sneakers. But be careful, she doesn’t wear just any: her favorite model is from a French label. On numerous occasions, we have been able to admire him with this white pair on his feet, stamped with a thick “V” starting from the bottom to the top of the shoe. V like Vegan, because the brand has been offering collections in “vegan” materials since its creation… But above all V like Veja; because that’s his name.

Along with Polène and Sézane, this hexagonal brand is one of the favorite brands of Prince William’s wife. In fact, she regularly wears pairs of the tricolor label, including the “Esplar” model, which she wears again and again. To be able to combine it with her entire wardrobe, she opted for the colors white and gold.

It’s the one she wears in the famous video published on social networks. But it is also the one she donned in 2021, during a visit to the University of St Andrews in Scotland.

It must be said that this pair enjoys undisputed stylistic versatility. Its classic and minimalist side allows it to blend harmoniously with all fashion pieces. Its lines are soft and refined, its sole is thin and discreet… So, when Kate Middleton wants to break the “streetwear” side of it, she combines it with a more dressy piece in her wardrobe, like a suit set or even a blazer.

When she wants to play it casual, she puts on her sneakers with slim jeans or a floral dress perfect for summer vacation. Clothing combinations that are easy to reproduce on yourself and accessible, what’s more: it only takes 130 euros to get the same model as the Princess of Wales.

A lasting relationship which looks like collaboration… But which is not. It is in reality the eco-responsible approach that appeals to the mother. Created in 2005, the Veja brand aims to be respectful of the environment and workers, by combining the use of ecological materials, social projects and economic justice. A noble project which also appeals to other celebrities and/or royalty: Meghan Markle, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Garner and even Emmanuel Macron have already adopted it. Will you be the next to succumb to it?
