You\u2019d need to be living under a rock to have missed the fact that the Netflix documentary about Victoria Beckham<\/a> is available to stream today.<\/p>\n It appears to be on the Princess of Wales\u2019 radar too, given that she chose to wear a Victoria Beckham suit for an engagement in Oxford this morning.<\/p>\n In a rare nod to the celebrity news cycle Catherine wore a sharply tailored olive green blazer and trousers for a visit to Home-Start Oxford, which provides free support for families in homes and communities across the UK. The charity is to roll out training based on The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood Explainer Series.<\/p>\n Since 2023, the Princess has been dedicated to increasing public understanding of the importance of the first five years of a child\u2019s life, and in a powerful, personal essay published today, warned of the dangers of using mobile phones during family meal times. \u201cOur smartphones, tablets, and computers have become sources of constant distraction, fragmenting our focus and preventing us from giving others the undivided attention that relationships require,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n Catherine struck the right note with her outfit choice, keeping it tonal with a top in the same shade underneath, Kiki McDonough green amethyst earrings and a Daniella Draper pendant necklace. It was completed by a pair of tan courts \u2013 Ralph Lauren\u2019s Celia style.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not a brand new suit, we first saw it back in May, when the Princess presented designer Patrick McDowell<\/a> with the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design. The patch pockets with visible stitching were a literal representation of the craft involved in making a garment.<\/p>\n It was widely read as a show of support for British fashion after Kensington Palace felt compelled to clarify its stance on continuing to release information about the outfits the Princess wears to public engagements earlier this year.<\/p>\n She\u2019d appeared to take a subtle step away from bolder fashion looks, but this suit suggested she was still very aware of her position as an ambassador for the industry.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Princess of Wales is really championing British tailoring at the moment, flying the flag for home-grown talents like Bella Freud and then Victoria Beckham today,\u201d says Bethan Holt, Telegraph <\/em>Fashion Director and author of The Duchess of Cambridge: A Decade of Modern Royal Style<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n \u201cAt a time when male designers are in the fashion industry spotlight, it\u2019s heartening to see her get behind the girl power in the fashion industry.<\/p>\n
