CROWDS GASP As Catherine Stuns In Sparkling Dress And Kiki McDonough Grace White Topaz Earrings

Catherine, the Princess of Wales wore her £975 Kiki McDonagh Grace white topaz and diamond stud earrings, as she joined Prince William on a surprise visit to the Women's Institute in Sunninghill, Berkshire, in tribute to the late Queen's decades-long association with the organisation. Classic and elegant, the sparkling round studs are the kind of timeless piece that Catherine is very loyal to Kiki McDonagh, the designer must be one of her favourites. The Princess owns and wears multiple pairs of Kiki's colourful gemstone earrings. These sparkling studs have become a go-to in Princess Catherine's jewellery rotation. Last count, Catherine had 18 pairs by the designer in her jewellery collection, including the famous citrine drop earrings, which she wears frequently. Catherine chose the designer's stunning pink Morganite double drop earrings for her sister Pippa's wedding in 2017. In 2014, Kiki McDonagh spoke to the Daily Mail Online about Catherine wearing her earrings. Catherine wore the diamond earrings frequently in the early years of her marriage, she recently brought them back for an engagement with the Women's Institute on September 2025, after not wearing them in public for eight years. Our journey begins in February 2012, when Catherine made a heartfelt visit to Oxford as patron of the Art Room Charity. Catherine immersed herself in therapeutic art sessions at Rosehill Primary School and Oxford Spires Academy, engaging with children on projects inspired by Edward Lear's whimsical poetry. For this occasion, Catherine chose a wool jacquard shirt dress by Ola Kili, its brown and tan bird print evoking a gentle, earthy charm with long sleeves, pleated skirt, and side pockets. She paired it with brown suede ankle boots from Aquitalia, adding a practical yet polished edge, and the Kiki McDonagh Grace earrings provided a delicate sparkle, their white topaz centres catching the light amid the day's indoor activities. By November 2012, Catherine and Prince William embarked on their inaugural visit to Wales, the city tied to their dukedom. This November outing involved meetings with the mayor and local charity representatives, underscoring their commitment to community ties in a region rich with historical significance. Catherine's ensemble exuded autumnal elegance, a light pink wool cashmere coat from Max Mara Studio with a funnel neck and belted waist, layered over a coordinating animal print dress from the same brand. Brown suede rouge boots by Aquitalia grounded the look, while an Emmy Shoes Natasha clutch in a deeper suede tone added cohesion. The Kiki McDonagh Grace earrings, with their white topaz glow, brought a touch of luminescence to the ensemble, perfectly suiting the crisp, formal atmosphere. Fast forward to April 2014, a month brimming with royal duties during the couple's tour of Australia and New Zealand. On the 6th, Catherine arrived in Sydney for a transfer to Wellington, where a traditional Maori Powhiri welcome awaited at Government House, complete with the Honji greeting. This kick-off to the tour aimed to strengthen Commonwealth bonds and introduce young Prince George to international diplomacy. For the Sydney leg, she wore a blue-grey crosshatch print dress by Max Mara, teamed with low-heeled nude suede shoes and a long-champler pliage tote. Upon landing in New Zealand, she switched to a vibrant red coat and matching dress by Catherine Walker, accented by brown suede pumps and an Emmy Shoes clutch from the designer. A Gina Foster red pillbox hat and a borrowed diamond platinum fern brooch from the late Queen added symbolic flair, but it was the Kiki McDonagh Grace earrings' white topaz that offered a consistent, subtle elegance amid the whirlwind. October 2017 brought a more athletic vibe when Catherine, as patron of the Lawn Tennis Association, visited the National Tennis Centre in London on the 31st. Her agenda included learning about grassroots initiatives like Tennis for Kids, observing junior training and wheelchair tennis demos, and meeting coach core apprentices, all to champion accessible sports for youth. Embracing the theme, she sported black and white tuxedo track pants from Monreal London with neon yellow accents and a sleek black Clarisse track jacket from Playbrave. White and grey Nike Air Vapor Max Flyknit trainers provided bounce and comfort. The Kiki McDonagh Grace earrings, with their diamond-framed white topaz, added a refined sparkle, bridging the gap between athleticism and her innate grace. Most recently, in September 2025, Catherine marked the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II passing with a poignant visit to the Women's Institute in Sunningdale, Berkshire, on the 8th. As the late Queen had been a devoted WI member and president of the Sandringham branch for decades, this engagement highlighted the organisation's role in fostering community and skills among women. Catherine selected a plaid dress by Alessandra Rich, its black and white check with pink hints featuring puffed sleeves, crystal-buttoned bodies, and a peplum waist for a retro flair. Anthracite grey Hugo Boss Staple Pumps completed the look. Once again, the Kiki McDonagh Grace earrings, those iconic white topaz and diamond studs, graced her lobes, symbolising continuity and quiet strength in a moment of remembrance. These appearances underscore how the earrings have evolved as a staple in Catherine's wardrobe, often chosen for their ability to elevate diverse outfits while remaining unobtrusive. Beyond these, sources note her affinity for Kiki McDonagh's designs, amassing a collection valued at over £47,000, including variations in citrine or peridot, but the Grace White Topaz Pair holds a special place for its frequent, versatile wear. In an era where royal style balances tradition and accessibility, these earrings exemplify Catherine's thoughtful approach to public life.
