Kate Middleton wears the same LK Bennett nude shoes at Emily McCorquodale’s wedding

Kate Middleton has come in for some rare sartorial criticism over her fondness for her favorite LK Bennett nude heels.

It seems the fashion police will have to try a little harder if they hope to part the Duchess of Cambridge from those trusty LK Bennett court shoes.

Kate Middleton was once again sporting the £185 ($296) heels on Saturday, when she attended the wedding of Prince William’s cousin, Emily McCorquodale – Princess Diana’s niece.

Duchess of Cambridge, 30, was joined by her husband and her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, for the ceremony in Stoke Rochford, Lincolnshire.

While some observers have criticized Kate’s safe choices, she seems happy to be building up a reputation for thrift.

Kate wore her faithful court shoes to two events over the Diamond Jubilee weekend, and was seen in them six times during her tour of Canada and the US last summer.

Indeed, her entire outfit for the wedding had been recycled.

She wore the floral Jenny Packham dress at a polo match in the US last year, the dove grey coat at the Order of the Garter service and the hat at last June’s Epsom Derby.

The court shoes are such a favorite that in the last year the Duchess has worn them to the Epsom Derby, to Prince Philip’s 90th birthday at Windsor, to attend Zara Phillips’s wedding and on a visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital, London.

On last summer’s tour of Canada and the U.S. Kate was photographed in them no fewer than six times. On Sunday’s Jubilee River Pageant, they were given another outing on the Royal Barge.

And on Tuesday she got them out of the closet to attend the service of thanksgiving at St Paul’s cathedral.

The high street platforms have also of late been adopted by Princesses Eugenie, who wore a similar black version at the Jubilee River Pageant.

With every outfit coming under the microscope Kate’ support has given a welcome boost to the British brand.

The pumps have become such a success that LK Bennett brought out a Sledge 2 patent version.
