The Princess of Wales cut a very trendy figure as she went to the new V&A East Storehouse in London the other day - but one aspect of her outfit appeared to break the gown code.
Kate, 43, marched for her very first engagement of the month - and her first because returning from the half-term break - in a chic trouser suit by designer Alexander McQueen for the event, in addition to a white scoop-neck top.
For her devices, the princess selected an elegant belt, Laura Lombardi chain pendant, and a pair of streamlined black heels from Prada.
But while Kate looked incredibly classy, technically speaking, she did break a little-known design guideline during her visit with her choice of footwear.
'We suggest wearing useful clothing and flat shoes,' the V&A East Storehouse's site reads. 'The metal grid flooring is not appropriate for stilettos or kitten heels.'

However, the princess appeared entirely at ease and masterfully handled the uneven floors, even while wearing a set of challenging heels.
When asked about Kate's option of shoes, Tristram Hunt, the director of the V&A, informed PEOPLE magazine: 'She is a professional! She handled that!'
He included: 'She had an extremely energy. She was very energetic and focused. We last saw her about two years ago.

'She maintains this terrific enthusiasm and interest in creativity and making and style. It was terrific to be able to host her.'
The mother-of-three has repeatedly made wearing heels look easy over the years - even while playing sports, using pumps on grass and attending horse racing events such as Royal Ascot.
In 2012, Kate even to play a game of hockey and, more recently in 2022, kicked a football in heels during an engagement with her partner Prince William.
She even used her beloved shoe in her first photos with Prince Louis in 2018 as she stepped outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital.
