Duchess of Cambridge wears $3.80 earrings for her first royal engagement of the year

The Duchess of Cambridge stepped out showcasing her signature mix of high and low end fashion in a chic return to work for the new year.

Kate Middleton visited The Foundling Museum in London on Wednesday wearing a teal blue coat over the top of an all-navy ensemble. 

But her standout accessory was the royal's $3.80 gold earrings from UK store Accessorize.

The mini hammered doorknocker hoop earrings from the high street chain (similar to Lovisa) were originally £7 ($13.20) but were in the recent sale, dropping in price to £2.10 ($3.80) — needless to say, they're now sold out.

The only other jewels that Kate could be seen wearing was her heirloom sapphire and diamond engagement ring, which previously belonged to Princess Diana, and her wedding band.

The Duchess, who celebrated her 40th birthday earlier this month, wasn't just cost-efficient in her jewellery department. Even the tailored blue coat has been seen before, with the Duchess last wearing it in January 2020, during a visit to LEYF Stockwell Gardens Nursery & Pre-School in London.

The Duchess also sported a turtle neck knit and navy suede heels, both of which are understood to be items worn to previous engagements and events.

Kate's return to work for the new year wouldn't be complete without her signature bouncy blowdry, which bobbed as the royal arrived at The Foundling Museum with husband Prince William.
