Kate’s favourite pair of shoes! The Duchess of Cambridge owns SIX pairs of the Gianvito Rossi pumps

Kate Middleton showed her love for a particular pair of Gianvito Rossi pumps as she departed the Bahamas after the last leg of her Caribbean tour last night. 

The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, appears to own at least six different coloured pairs of the classic high heels, which cost £560. 

She donned a white pair as she and husband Prince William, 39, attended a departure ceremony at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau.         

Kate co-ordinated the versatile pumps with an 80s-style yellow and white floral £1,655 Alessandra Rich frock featuring puff sleeves, and a Peter Pan collar reminiscent of the style favoured by her late mother-in-law Diana, Princess of Wales.

To finish the youthful, fresh look, the duchess held a white Ferragamo bag. She added some sparkle with a pair of £3,400 earrings.

The Duchess of Cambridge has been snapped wearing the shoes in at least six different colours over the years, including this pair in black suede in 2017, and the burgundy option in 2016

The pumps, which are made in Italy, are described by the designer as embodying ‘three key characteristics…elegance, femininity and modernity. They feature a ‘refined point-toe silhouette and sky-high 105mm stiletto heel’, and are available in leather or suede.   

As well as the cream pair she wore for the departure ceremony last night, Kate also owns the shoes in praline and black, burgundy and red suede, as well as in metallic silver leather.   

She has been snapped wearing the shoes numerous times over the years. 

In 2015, during a state visit from the President of the Peoples Republic of China, Mr Xi Jinping and his wife, Madame Peng Liyuan, the royal donned a burgundy pair of the pumps to attend a Creative Collaborations: UK & China event at Lancaster House.

Then, in March 2016, she opted for a pair in classic black suede, pairing them with a red and white dress coat as she visited the mentoring programme of the XLP project London Wall, an initiative which supports young people who are facing emotional, behavioural and relational challenges. 

The duchess switched things up a bit in June that year, when she matched a vibrant red pair of the heels to her outfit for the annual Order of The Garter Service at Windsor Castle.

But by July, she was back in her trusty black pumps, pictured looking thoughtful while attending The Commemoration of the Centenary of The Battle of the Somme.

Then later that year, in November, she recycled the burgundy suede footwear for the UK Premiere of A Street Cat Named Bob at the Curzon Mayfair in London. 

The thrifty duchess again recycled her beloved pumps, this time in black, when visiting the East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices in Norfolk at the beginning of 2017.

In 2019, the Gianvito Rossi pumps made another outing, this time in silver. Kate paired the footwear with a powder blue midi dress while attending Royal Ascot that Summer.
