Jill Biden and Kate Middleton Wore the Same Classic Shoes to Their First Meeting
We talk a lot about wardrobe classics here at Who What Wear, from tan trench coats to white blouses. But is there one single item that reigns supreme when it comes to perennial fashion favorites? Well, if you looked at the new images of the ultimate power couple, First Lady Jill Biden and the Duchess of Cambridge, it may just be nude, pointy-toe pumps. Both women chose to wear the classic shoe style, solidifying its cult status.
I know what some people will say: Why talk about what they're wearing when they are doing such important work? Well, we're proponents of both style and substance, and discussing one shouldn't detract from the other. The first lady and the duchess visited the Connor Downs Academy, which works with students who have experienced trauma. Considering that Biden is a teacher and that one of Kate Middleton's biggest focuses is early education, the event was particularly meaningful for both women. Scroll down to see photos from their first meeting.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 12 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of senior news editor (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
