The Princess of Wales’s style is always on point. Visiting the Royal Marsden Hospital on Tuesday to show her support for patients after her own cancer treatment at the hospital, she styled a £60 cashmere turtleneck with an Edeline Lee midi skirt.

When it came to accessorising, she opted for a pair of statement hoops from Cartier (Cartier.com). Costing £1.6k, they’re slightly out of budget for us mere mortals, but I’ve found a stellar alternative courtesy of Missoma.

A brand lauded by A-listers (not just Kate, but also Bella Hadid and Florence Pugh), it’s much-loved for its affordable fine jewellery and timeless take on trends.

As well as selling cult everyday staples (think those chubby hoops that regularly sell out), the brand often launches capsule collections with the likes of designer Harris Reed and influencer Lucy Williams.

Characterised by their mixed-metal design and entwine hoop silhouette, Missoma’s entwine hoops look just like Kate’s Cartier style – but they cost less than £100.

Here’s where to shop the everyday hoops – plus more statement Missoma earrings that have the Kate-seal-of-approval.

Hoops are one of the most classic pairs of earrings you can own. A twist on the timeless style, the earrings features a small silhouette and striking crossover design.

Crafted from mixed metals (18-carat gold and recycled sterling silver), they’re a standout piece on their own but equally versatile for stacking with either gold or silver earring pieces.

It’s not just the above that Kate has worn, she’s regularly been spotted in this pair of delicate pyramid charm hoops. The simple gold hoop design is elevated by an eye-catching pink stone, which awards the piece a natural and unique feel. Delicate and dainty, the earrings offer something a little different to your average pair of hoops. Whether layered with huggies or worn alone, the arresting pair will take you from day to night.

Kate plumped for this statement pair of drop earrings from Missoma for a Royal Variety Performance in 2022, matching them with a shimmering green Jenny Packham gown. The unique style is characterised by bobble-trimmed, removable charms suspended from delicate hoops.
