Princess Kate wowed at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s wedding in a Roland Mouret dress, teamed with a surprisingly affordable £28 handbag
When it comes to wedding guest style, the Princess of Wales rarely misses, and her appearance today has provided us with plenty of inspo for those attending summer celebrations this season.
Joining guests at Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling’s wedding, Princess Kate showcased her signature elegant and polished aesthetic in an outfit that perfectly blended designer pieces with a surprisingly affordable accessory.
For the wedding, Kate wore a sophisticated, beige dress by Roland Mouret, priced at £750, paired with a bespoke hat from JTMilinery. But it was her handbag choice that caught our attention. The Princess completed her look with a woven clutch from Forever New, priced at £28, proving you don’t need a designer budget to look wedding-ready. The bag has been a staple in Princess Kate’s wardrobe ever since she first wore it during the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, but the clutch bag has unfortunately sold out, most likely due to Kate’s endorsement.

The textured bag added a summery touch to the outfit and perfectly complemented Kate’s tonal look. Woven bags have become increasingly popular for weddings, race days and garden parties, and Forever New has a few woven alternatives still in stock, including the Sutton Weave Small Bag, £40, and the Waverly Weave Phone Purse, priced at £30.
