To prepare for Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, the Duchess of Cambridge ditched her polished pant suits and stunning dresses in favor of a more casual look. Even so, the royal mom of three still managed to look über chic as she donned her laid-back outfit to bake with her children.

In typical Middleton fashion, the duchess’ rocked a timeless look that still feels modern. Her low-key, ultra-chic ensemble consisted of high-waisted, light-washed jeans and a gingham-patterned blouse.
