Kate Middleton attended Evelina London’s new children’s hospital opening in London on Tuesday. The new facility was created to focus on family-centric care for young patients, offering a seamless experience from pre-surgery to recovery in one cohesive space.

Sticking to her favorites, the Princess of Wales stepped into a classic pair of “Midnight Blue’ suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi at the event. The royal’s shoes featured rich dark blue suede uppers that transitioned into triangular knife-like pointed toes all sat atop thin but reliable 3 to 4-inch stiletto heels that offered the young royal a subtle and sophisticated boost.

Suede pumps are a go-to style for Middleton all year round, specifically from brands like Gianvito Rossi, Emmy London, Prada, Aquazzura and Jimmy Choo, among others. The suede uppers of the shoe provide the silhouette with a unique textural feature that further diversifies the otherwise classic pump style. Gianvito Rossi features both male and female styles, including a range of mules, flats, booties and even sneakers. The Italian footwear retailer also stocks accessories, including belts and clutches.
