On her feet were the taupe suede pumps she wore to last month's Buckingham Palace garden party.

They are the 'Gianvito 105' style by Gianvito Rossi. However, the exact colour is unknown. There are a few options available from different stockists in a similar hue.  They could in fact all be the same colour but each retailer may have it's own name for the shade.  Variations in colour between the stock photos is expected because they would have been taken under different lighting conditions.

ID UPDATE (15/06/2016):

I've been in contact with Gianvito Rossi and they have confirmed that Kate wears their Gianvito 105 suede pumps in 'Praline'. This is the official name of the colour. Stockists such as Net-a-Porter have renamed the shade in their description, hence the confusion. As I suspected, all these shoes are actually the same hue!

A closer look at Kate's glamorous up-do.

I'll leave you with one of my favorite images from today's service. See you tomorrow for Trooping The Colour!
