Kate Middleton's Casual-Prep First Public Appearance

That little royal sneak! Kate Middleton pulled one on us and returned to the public sooner than we expected. Word on the street had her pegged to stop maternity leave in September to support William at the Tusk Trust ceremony. She's instead chosen a more casual way of remerging than a fancy dinner. And all we have to say is bravo, Kate, bravo.

If you were to look up "put together" in the dictionary, you'd see a picture of Middleton post-royal birth (PRB). The green blazer, black skinny jean combination is casual elegance, and way more appropriate for the People's Duchess than an official gown (although she'll no doubt stun at next month's soiree). With William by her side, the new parents kicked off Anglesey's three-day ultra marathon with little hype. What more could they want for their first official appearance since Prince George? We're shamelessly thrilled the PRB (post royal baby, y'all) era has officially begun. It seems only appropriate that we end the summer the same way we ushered it in — royally. (Racked)
