    Kate Middleton has clocked up another famous fan of her fashion, this time it's Olympic swimmer Rebecca Adlington who admired her Stuart Weitzman shoes

    When the Duchess of Cambridge met with the British Olympic swimming team yesterday, it was her shoes that made the most impact with Rebecca Adlington complimenting Kate on her navy wedges.

    Kate Middleton joined Prince William and Prince Harry on a surprise trip to meet with Team GB’s swim team to wishing the athletes good luck for the upcoming races during London 2012.

    After shaking hands with the Duchess, London Olympics 2012 medal-winner Rebecca said: ‘I just love her shoes. They're much nicer than the sports gear we're wearing this week.’

    The footwear under such famous scrutiny were cork-heeled wedges by Stuart Weitzman for high street brand Russell & Bromley, £245.
