A mummy’s fashion verdict

DAILY Mail consultant fashion editor Camilla Ridley Day, mother of three children aged six, four and two, writes: SHE looks utterly adorable, doesn’t she? And with Charlotte’s outfit, Kate is channelling her taste for timeless classics, such as this well-cut wool coat.

It’s interesting she has chosen burgundy too. It is a shade Kate often wears, and one that she knows suits brunettes like her and Charlotte well.

A perfectionist, she has matched the shoes to the coat, a lovely touch.

But while every mother will be tempted to dress up her little girl for her first day, I’d be interested to see whether, after hours playing with glitter and glue, she repeats it every day.

Take those beautiful tights, which are made by Chelsea designer Amaia and cost around £12. One tumble in the playground and they’re ruined for ever!
