Royally Stylish! A Look Back at Some of Princess Kate’s Most Memorable Looks: Photos

Trooping the Colour 2024

Kate made her first public appearance at the annual parade after announcing her battle with cancer in March 2024.

The Princess of Wales upcycled a Jenny Packham dress that she wore for the first time the year prior (we love an eco-friendly queen)! Kate elevated the look by adding an extravagant matching hat.

Future Queen

The princess looked ethereal in a white Jenny Packham gown with flowing short sleeves accented by gold embroidery at a state dinner at Buckingham Palace on November 21, 2023. Kate thrilled royal watchers by wearing the Strathmore Rose tiara, which was last worn by the late Queen Mother in the 1930s.

So Regal

Earlier in the day, Kate stunned in a bright red cape coat with a large bow across the chest, which she paired with a wide-brimmed hat while attending the ceremonial welcome for the president and first lady of the Republic of Korea.

Ravishing In Red

Kate looed stunning while attending Royal Ascot races in 2023.

Emerald Gal

The Princess of Wales was emerald perfection at the 2023 Trooping the Colour.

Magnificent

At the wedding reception and dinner for Jordan’s Crown Prince Al Hussein and bride Rajwa Alseif on June 1, 2023, Kate wore a breathtaking blush rose sequined Jenny Packham gown. It was nearly identical in design to an emerald-green one she originally wore on 2019 tour of Pakistan. Combined with her Queen Mary Lover’s Knot tiara, Royal Victorian Order pin and sash and Royal Family Order, she looked so incredibly regal while speaking to Denmark’s Crown Princess Mary.

Fun fact, in all the years that Kate has donned this tiara for events, the royal wedding in Jordan was the first time she wore it with her hair down instead of in an updo.

Blush Beauty

Kate wore a pale pink gown by designer Elie Saab for the Jordan royal wedding ceremony. It featured intricate embroidery on the bodice with a flowing skirt and long sleeves. The dress originally went down the runway in 2017, leading to speculation that the princess already owned the frock for years, but this was the first time it was worn to a major event.

The Coronation

Kate’s ensemble for the coronation was not only stunning, but it was full of subtle nods to her 2011 wedding dress, the Commonwealth countries and the late members of the royal family.

Regal

Royal blue was the color of the day in this classic coat dress wore while she held Prince Louis’ hand as they walked to Easter Sunday service in 2023.

So Elegant

The Duchess of Cambridge looked so feminine yet incredibly chic in a navy and white Erdem suit with a flirty peplum to the Commonwealth Day Service in March 2023.

So Proud

All hail! Kate celebrated her first St. Patrick’s Day as the Colonel of the Irish Guards in this beautiful teal coat dress that matched the feather in the soldiers’ caps.

Angelic

The princess recycled her white one-shouldered 2019 BAFTA gown to wear to the event in 2023, making slight adjustments to give it a freshened-up look. The black upper-arm opera gloves added drama to the dress.

Cutie

This is such a great coat. Kate recycled this red and white Catherine Walker houndstooth number for the Wales v England Six Nations Rugby Match in February 2023.

Ravishing in Red

The princess looked gorgeous in an asymmetric red Alexander McQueen pantsuit on her way to deliver a speech at The Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood in January 2023.

Holiday Best

Kate looked so chic in an olive coat and a unique wide brimmed hat as she held son Prince Louis’ hand when they attended 2022’s Christmas Day church service.

Looking Good in Green

The Princess of Wales stunned in a neon green off-the-shoulder gown – which she rented! – and a choker worn by Princess Diana while attending the second annual Earthshot Prize Awards Ceremony at the MGM Music Hall at Fenway Park in Boston with Prince William in December 2022.

Golden for Bond

Kate went all-out in one of the most glamorous gowns she’s ever worn when she attended the world premiere of the latest James Bond film, No Time To Die, at Royal Albert Hall in London in 2021. She wore a glittering long-sleeved gold sequin gown by Jenny Packham, which featured a sheer capelet that trailed behind her. With her hair pulled back in an elaborate updo, Kate looked like a golden goddess!

Gorgeous Legs!

Kate thrilled royal fans by donning a short tennis skirt to play a doubles match alongside U.S. Open champ Emma Raducanu on September 24, 2021. The Duchess has always been known for her amazing toned and athletic legs, and the skirt’s short hem showed them off in a way not seen before.

Lady In Red!

Kate shocked the world by rocking this off-the-shoulder red dress back in 2017. Needless to say, it will forever be a favorite of ours.

Simple, Yet Classic …

Whereas the *average* woman would look matronly in such a modest dress, Kate somehow made this simple navy blue number look dazzling in her engagement announcement to Prince William.

Green Goddess!

Considering Kate has hazel eyes, she would pretty much wear this shade for the rest of her life. It looks so stunning on her.

A Beauty In Baby Blue …

This look makes the top five! Kate looks so effortlessly chic in this outfit, we could cry.

Jackie O, Is That You?

Kate has this incredible ability to wear clothing reminiscent of a different era without looking kitschy. The red pillbox hat and matching coat are perfection. End of story.

Pleats, For The Win!

Most of Kate’s wardrobe consists of skirts and dresses. That said, she never bores us.

A Duchess in Plaid …

Not to sound dramatic, but this coat belongs in a museum.

A Belted Coat Is Always in Style

If one thing is for certain, Kate knows how to accessorize her outfits! She takes an otherwise boring outfit and makes it her own.

Always Stealing The Show …

Kate’s ensemble at her sister’s wedding definitely stole some attention away from the bride. Sorry, Pippa!

Lovely in purple

Kate should definitely make this one of her signature shades.

Sorry, Eugenie…

Another royal wedding, another memorizing look. Kate absolutely rocked out at Princess Eugenie’s nuptials.

A Christmas Vision!

Sure, red for Christmas may not seem like a groundbreaking fashion decision but, come on, she looks flawless from head to toe.

Flowing and flirty

Kate loves being comfortable, yet fashionable all at once.

Queen of Slacks

Is there anything better than Duchess Kate wearing a stylish pair of slacks?

The Best Skirt Ever

Between the boots, the cardigan and of course, the skirt, we are loving this outfit.

We Wonder What’s In Her Bag …

Hey, Kate, what do you keep in there? If it’s your secrets to amazing style, please send them our way. Thanks.

The Little Duchess …

This playful dress definitely reminds us of Ariel from The Little Mermaid.

No Big Deal, Just A Literal Angel In Our Midst!

As mentioned, we couldn’t leave out Kate’s wedding dress. She looked like something out of a fairytale during her walk down the aisle with Prince William.

Rock that Turtleneck!

Anyone who can flawlessly pull off a turtleneck, deserves a medal.

Navy Blue, Forever And Always!

Just like Duchess Meghan, Kate looks exceptional in navy blue. It must be a prerequisite to join the family.

Icy Vibes

Speaking of blue, the Duchess even got dressed up for the Wimbledon trophy ceremony in 2019. Peep that tiny bow on her dress.

Pretty in Purple

During this visit to the Nook Children’s Hospice in Norfolk, Kate seriously slayed this gorgeous purple number.

Christmas Queens

Kate looked elegant as always in this outfit she wore for Christmas Day church service in 2019 … but it was little Charlotte who stole the show with her tiny curtsy!

A Little Cheeky

In one of her most daring looks of 2020, Kate rocked this colorful number with a bit of a slit.

Green is Her Color!

The same month, she wore this emerald green dress to a Guinness event.

Dressed-Down

Kate got to dress down more than usual with the coronavirus pandemic in 2020, and proved that even in a simple outfit, she looks perfect!

So Sweet
