Kate Middleton delivered a regal revisit, stepping out in her blue Alexander McQueen coat on December 3. She previously wore the coat for Christmas Day services in 2023, shortly before pulling away from public view. She put on the coat once again recently, proving that even princesses repeat outfits and do so in style.
Kate Middleton pairs Burberry dress with her iconic Alexander McQueen coat
Kate Middleton has set a high bar for royal styling over the years. She maintained the same for the official state visit and welcome ceremony for German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife, Elke Buedenbender, in London and Windsor, England. She coordinated with Queen Camilla in blue coats and matching hats for the ceremonial welcome to Windsor Castle.
Royal style expert Tyler Ellis told Marie Claire that Middleton and Camilla’s matching Prussian blue coats were “an especially meaningful nod to Germany’s cultural and military heritage.” The color is of “deep historical resonance” for the country.
Middleton layered her iconic Prussian blue Alexander McQueen coat over a navy blue Burberry dress. The coat’s bodice was neatly fitted, while the skirt draped in a soft, flowing shape that offered ease and elegance.
The blue Burberry dress, a version of the brand’s Check Wool Dress, featured a belted waist and long sleeves. If her bow-and-arrow hat from Juliette Millinery looked familiar, it is because she also wore the fascinator with the McQueen coat for Christmas Day services in 2023.
The Princess of Wales completed the look with sentimental jewelry pieces, such as the Prince of Wales Feather Brooch and sapphire-and-diamond earrings. Both of these pieces previously belonged to the late Princess Diana.
The earrings were among the most regularly worn pieces of jewelry in Princess Diana’s collection. Meanwhile, the brooch is also a nod to Middleton’s husband, William, Prince of Wales. Finally, she wore suede blue Gianvito Rossi boots, which beautifully complemented her McQueen coat.
