Did someone say Barbiecore? Kate Middleton stepped out in a bubblegum pink dress at Chelsea today, embracing this summer’s top style trend.

The Princess of Wales’ colour block midi is by the London-based brand, ME+EM, retailing in the sale at £315, down from the original price of £450.

Kate paired the dress with her much-loved Castaner Carina Espadrille wedges and opted for Zoraida leaf earrings, which she has worn before, costing £165.

Kate’s appearance was a surprise for crowds, unannounced in advance by the event, organised by the Royal Horticultural Society.

The mother-of-three attended to see the event’s first ever Children’s Picnic.

Kate met children from 10 schools taking part in the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, before visiting three of this year’s Show Gardens with them.

The ME+EM dress has sadly sold out, but you’ll find plenty of lookalikes on the high street this summer as bubblegum pink takes over.
