The Princess of Wales cut an extremely trendy figure as she visited the new V&A East Storehouse in London the other day - but one element of her outfit appeared to break the gown code.

Kate, 43, marched for her first engagement of the month - and her first given that returning from the half-term break - in a stylish trouser match by designer Alexander McQueen for the event, along with a white scoop-neck top.
For her accessories, the princess selected an elegant belt, Laura Lombardi chain locket, and a set of streamlined black heels from Prada.
But while Kate looked extremely stylish, technically speaking, she did break an obscure design guideline during her see with her choice of shoes.
'We recommend using practical clothing and flat shoes,' the V&A East Storehouse's website reads. 'The metal grid floor covering is not ideal for stilettos or kittycat heels.'
However, the princess appeared totally at ease and masterfully handled the unequal floorings, even while wearing a set of tough heels.
When asked about Kate's option of footwear, Tristram Hunt, the director of the V&A, informed PEOPLE magazine: 'She is a pro! She handled that!'
He added: 'She had an incredibly energy. She was really energetic and focused. We last saw her about 2 years ago.

'She keeps this excellent enthusiasm and interest in imagination and making and style. It was wonderful to be able to host her.'
The mother-of-three has consistently made using heels look easy throughout the years - even while playing sports, using pumps on yard and going to horse racing events such as Royal Ascot.
In 2012, Kate even wore heels to play a video game of hockey and, more just recently in 2022, kicked a football in heels during an engagement with her hubby Prince William.
She even used her beloved shoe in her first pictures with Prince Louis in 2018 as she stepped outside the Lindo Wing of St Mary's .
Depsite misgivings, the princess was such a 'pro' in her heels that she was able to deal with any challenges with ease
