Looking absolutely radiant, the Princess of Wales made a welcome return to royal duty with her annual attendance at the Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall.
Resplendent in a custom Catherine Walker dress coat (source), the mom of three was glowing with bouncy sideswept curls and a berry pink pout. Kate’s fresh makeup look and hairstyle had the feel of Old Hollywood glamour with a dash of modern allure.
Princess Kate’s sophisticated black blazer coat adorned with shiny gold buttons courtesy of Catherine Walker brought just enough dress drama to the formal occasion. The midi length dress coat felt very reminiscent of Kate’s two Alexander McQueen pleated box coats.
The mom of three paired the new black coat dress with her Chanel classic mini square bag.
Previously, she donned the designer bag with the brand’s iconic CC logo for the World Cup 2023 Quarter Final rugby match in France.
She carried the black crossbody bag by hand (instead of by the chain strap) for the Festival outing. Sleek and timeless, the quilted bag features a luxurious lambskin leather construction with a threaded mixed gold chain and leather strap. The front flap bag also boasts an interior zipper pocket and exterior single patch pocket.
For accessories, the princess wore her Collingwood Pearl earrings from the late Princess Diana’s collection. She has worn the pearl drops on over 20 occasions.
The princess also wore her her Monica Vinader Nura Pearl Necklace. Classic and chic, the necklace combines the brand’s Nura Baroque pearl pendant charm with a gold vermeil fine chain necklace.
The princess finished her ensemble at the Royal British Legion’s Festival of Remembrance ceremony with shoes from Jimmy Choo. Lofty and leg lengthening, the pointed pumps are made in Italy and have appeared on Her Royal Highness on countless occasions since 2015.
Finally, the Wales matriarch also wore the Insignia of the Fleet Air Arm brooch (Kate is Commodore-in-Chief of the aviation branch of the Royal Navy). The pin features a crown, laurel wreath and feathered wings.
The princess paired the brooch with a traditional poppy pin for the evening ceremony.
