Kate Middleton matched her special guest this week in shades of pink at Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh, U.K. The Duchess of Cambridge welcomed 5-year-old cancer patient Mila Sneddon to the residence on Thursday for a special event.
“In the week prior to lockdown last year, Mila’s family took the difficult decision to isolate in different households to protect Mila, who at this point was only 4 months into her chemotherapy journey for leukemia,” explained the Duke & Duchess on Instagram. “The Duchess spoke to Mila on the phone a few months ago following her image being selected as one of the final 100 for the #HoldStill2020 project – hoping one day that they’d meet and wear their pink dresses together.”
Sneddon finally got her chance on Thursday as the Duchess arrived in a hot pink pleated dress courtesy of ME+EM.
To complete the colorful ensemble, Middleton made sure to include one final pink element with her choice of footwear. The soft suede pumps come courtesy of Emmy London and feature a pointed-toe silhouette and a lifted stiletto heel, all for $425 on the brand’s website.
