Anzac Day – April 25, 2022
One thing about the Princess of Wales is she isn’t afraid to recycle clothes. The Princess of Wales, Kate, showed her commitment to sustainable fashion by re-wearing a white Alexander McQueen coat dress and matching hat by Jane Taylor for Anzac Day. She paired the outfit with pearl drop earrings previously worn by Princess Diana and black pumps. The last time we saw her wear the same outfit was in 2015 during Princess Charlotte’s christening.

The Cambridges attended the premiere of Top Gun: Maverick in a stunning fashion. Kate wore a black-and-white off-the-shoulder gown by Roland Mouret. We’re in love with the dress’ silhouette on her. We think the dress’ Bardot neckline compliments her really well. Kate completed the whole look with Prada pumps, a clutch bag from Alexander McQueen, and earrings by Robinson Pelham. William also looked dapper in a classic black tuxedo.

Nothing else screams girl boss more than this chic power suit from Alexander McQueen.

Kate made a stylish arrival at the Royal Ascot in a glamorous white and brown polka dot Alessandra Rich dress, paired with a matching hat and pumps.

Sailing Event – July 31, 2022
It’s rare for us to see the Princess of Wales in such a casual outfit, but we still think it’s so chic and sporty.

Queen Elizabeth’s Official State Funeral – September 19, 2022
In a nod to the late Queen, Kate chose to wear pearl jewellery at the monarch’s official state funeral. Not only were pearls a favourite of the Queen, but it also symbolizes mourning, a tradition that dates back to the time of Queen Victoria. Kate paid tribute to the late Queen by wearing the Japanese Pearl Choker necklace, a piece that was gifted to Queen Elizabeth by Japan in the ’70s and was a favourite of the Queen.
Diplomatic Corps Reception – December 6, 2022
For the annual Diplomatic Corps reception at Buckingham Palace, Kate chose a stunning red gown by Jenny Packham that featured intricate embellishments.
