Kate Middleton just wore these surprisingly affordable earrings
Kate Middleton paired the two-piece with a pair of earrings from British brand Carousel Jewels. Much like her suit, she has worn the drop studs in the past, notably in 2022 at an Easter Sunday service. True to the 'Kate effect', they sold out almost immediately.
While it's fair to assume that most of Kate's jewellery collection is unattainable, she frequently plumps for reasonably-priced jewels to compliment her outfits, and the latest piece is no exception. If you missed out on the jewellery piece in 2022, it's good news because the earrings are available to buy now.
The ethos behind British brand Carousel Jewels is creating jewellery that is 'meaningful, memorable, and responsibly made', which is reflected in all of its handmade designs. Using precious and semi-precious stones in its playful designs, there's a piece for every occasion.
Much like the rest of the brand's collection, the gold-plated earrings that Kate wore are handmade. The blue lapis stone is complimented by the milky blue hue of the moonstone to create an eye-catching finish. The chic style can be tailored to suit any occasion.
Owing to popularity, you are in for a little wait before you can get your hands on them. The earrings are available to pre-order with delivery expected in five weeks. However, they will be well worth the wait.

Will Sharpe reveals intense scene in Netflix hit Too Much left him bruised
Will Sharpe revealed he sustained a facial bruise and burst blood vessels while filming an intense, improvised scene for the new Netflix romcom miniseries Too Much. The 38-year-old British actor, known for The White Lotus, injured himself by repeatedly slapping his face during a breakdown scene with co-star Megan Stalter. Lena Dunham, who co-wrote and directed Too Much with her husband Luis Felber, instructed the actors to improvise the scene. Dunham cast Sharpe for his perceived 'curiosity and depth', believing he embodied the qualities desired for his character, Felix. The series, loosely inspired by Dunham and Felber's relationship, explores themes of adulthood and the challenges of a tumultuous relationship.

FixTheMusic, a free-to-use online platform that connects event planners with top-tier bands, DJs, and musicians, has officially launched a regional hub in Dubai - marking a major expansion into the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and neighbouring destinations like Jordan and Egypt. And with the region's appetite for luxury weddings, high-end corporate galas, and unforgettable private parties at an all-time high, the timing couldn't be better. Adam Southall, Co-Founder of FixTheMusic, said: 'Since 2015 we've helped thousands of couples and corporate planners book outstanding live music in more than 60 countries. 'The GCC's vibrant events scene is a natural next step for us. 'By formalising our Middle East operations, we can get outstanding artists on stage at the region's most spectacular venues with less friction and more creative choice.' FixTheMusic's artists already have a proven track record across the Gulf and wider Middle East. Most notably, performing at five‑star hotels, beach resorts and landmark venues throughout the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia. Their bands have also featured at Expo 2020 Dubai, the F1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Dubai International Boat Show and other marquee GCC events. From luxury ballrooms and desert palaces to private‑island resorts and city‑skyline rooftops, the platform is trusted by the region's leading properties. This includes Four Seasons, Ritz‑Carlton, Jumeirah, Kempinski and more, to perform at weddings, corporate galas and private celebrations of every scale. The expansion comes as governments across the Gulf are using mega‑events, venue investments and streamlined licensing to diversify their economies and meet the region's huge appetite for live performance. Dubai alone supported more than 460 exhibitions, concerts and festivals in 2024. While Abu Dhabi is co‑funding a 20,000‑capacity Sphere venue to complement its Formula 1 and Yas Island concert calendar. Qatar is still riding the wave of The FIFA World Cup 2022 which drew over 1 million visitors and 1.8 million fan‑zone attendees - and Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 reforms saw the General Entertainment Authority issue 1,673 live‑entertainment licences, illustrating explosive audience growth. Together these initiatives create a region‑wide ecosystem of new venues, supportive regulation and international audiences; ideal conditions for FixTheMusic's curated artists to thrive. With a dedicated operations base in Dubai, the brand can now coordinate artist logistics across borders, smoothing the process for planners handling multi-destination celebrations or corporate roadshows. Whether it's a solo violinist for an engagement at the Burj Al Arab, or a 10-piece showband for a mega wedding in Doha, the platform promises seamless booking, secure payment, and a carefully vetted pool of global and local talent. And unlike traditional talent agencies, FixTheMusic puts planners in direct contact with performers - cutting out hidden fees and delays. The company is already working with a who's who of tech giants, global brands, and event agencies, many of whom have longstanding relationships with FixTheMusic in Europe and the U.S. Now, those relationships are expanding across the Middle East. About FixTheMusic Founded in 2015 by musician brothers Ed and Adam Southall, FixTheMusic makes it fast, transparent and secure to discover, compare and book world-class live entertainment for weddings, private parties, corporate events and charity galas worldwide.
