The One Shoe Style Every Princess, Queen, and Duchess Wears

What can an English duchess, a Spanish queen, and a Saudi Arabian princess all agree on when it comes to fashion? The power of nude leather pointy-toe pumps. Kate Middleton, Queen Letizia of Spain, and Princess Deena Aljuhani Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia are just a few of the stylish royal women who swear by the shoe staple, and we can definitely see why. It's arguably the most versatile style out there, and it can be leg-lengthening when you choose a pair that matches your skin tone.

Middleton has worn her go-to pair with over a dozen different outfits, and Queen Letizia relied on the shoes for her visit to Buckingham Palace. Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has worn the style numerous styles since becoming a duchess. Read on to see how Princess Siriwanwaree Nareerat of Thailand, Princess Victoria of Sweden, Queen Mathilde of Belgium, and Princess Charlene of Monaco also wear the shoes, and then shop them for yourself.

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.
