In the world of fashion, classic pieces stand the test of time. When it comes to heels, few have garnered as much admiration as the iconic two-tone shoes, beloved by none other than Princess of Wales

Renowned for their versatility and timeless appeal, these shoes have found a new admirer in the perennially chic Nicky Hilton, who has been effortlessly incorporating them into her own impeccable style agenda.

Kate Middleton's favourite two-tone shoes are a symbol of sophistication, so it's no wonder they have caught the attention of the trendsetting socialite. These elegant pumps feature a delicate blend of neutral hues, often combining beige or nude with a contrasting darker shade, creating an elongating effect for the legs and an overall refined look. 

The Princess has been seen sporting these shoes at numerous high-profile events, from royal engagements to charity galas. Two-tone shoes are clearly a royal-approved, timeless summer style. In July 2022 Kate stepped out in a sensible pair of two-tone flats to attend the Royal Charity Polo Cup. The Alicia flats by British designer Camilla Elphick almost sold out immediately after she wore them.

In May earlier this year the stylish royal visited the Anna Freud Charity to mark Mental Health Awareness Week in two tone pumps. Likewise Princess Beatrice can't get enough of this royal-approved 'Quiet Luxury' shoe trend, and has donned two toned pumps on several occasions including during her appearance at Ascot in June
