Admit it: If you looked at photos of what you wore 11 years ago, you'd probably cringe a bit at some of the outdated items (unless you were way ahead of your time in the style department, in which case I give you props. As it turns out, not even royalty is immune to the feeling. When I was researching photos for an upcoming story, I stumbled across a rare sight: Kate Middleton wearing bright pink Crocs in 2007, three years before getting engaged and four years before officially becoming royalty.

The future Duchess of Cambridge was photographed on a few different occasions while training with the Sisterhood Rowing Team. Of course, there's nothing wrong with wearing Crocs in 2018, but it's safe to say they're not a part of the Duchess of Cambridge's wardrobe anymore. Scroll down to revisit the ultimate royal #TBT and to shop Middleton's favorite present-day shoes.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
