Kate has a berry Christmas with the Royal Family

25/12/2018

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated Christmas with the Royal Family at Sandringham and started their day by attending the traditional Christmas service at St.  Mary Magadelene's Church on the Queen's estate.

The couple joined the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and other members of the royal family for the traditional walk to the church.

Kate looked rather festive once again for this year’s service wearing a berry red custom coat by Catherine Walker.
Embed from Getty Images
The design elements of the coat are similar to the forest green coat she owns from the label, including the double-breasted front, contrast velvet collar, cuffs and flap pockets. Besides the colour, the only notable difference is the longer length.

The Duchess wore a new custom headpiece from Jane Taylor. It is the burgundy 'Halo Band' (£830) with a contrasting bow at the back. The vintage inspired headband is from the milliners A/W 218 collection.

Kate coordinated the ensemble with her cranberry Mulberry 'Bayswater' Suede Clutch and Gianvito Rossi 'Gianvito 105' Royale Burgundy Suede.

 The design looks very similar to a black pair she first wore in February 2017 which remain unidentified.

Kate is pretty in pink for Queen's pre-Christmas luncheon

19/12/2018

0 Comments

 
The Cambridges gathered with extended Royal family members today for the Queen's annual pre-Christmas luncheon at Buckingham Palace. 
Embed from Getty Images
The Duchess of Cambridge along with her royal tots, Prince George and Princess Charlotte were spotted en route to the Palace with Prince William behind the wheel and Nanny Maria in the back with the kids.
Embed from Getty Images
Here's a closer look at Charlotte in the back seat.
Embed from Getty Images
Kate wore a sherbet pink pussy bow dress or blouse.
Embed from Getty Images
The details look very similar to her Stella McCartney dress which she wore to Prince Philip's private family birthday dinner in June 2011.

After comparing images, it appears that Kate did wear her 2011 @StellaMcCartney dress. The bow detail, neckline and sleeves all match. I think the color differences are due to the lighting of the photos. pic.twitter.com/UApIrAKSRb

Many don't think it is the same dress because the material looks different. The original dress has a distinct sheen whereas this one appears matte.

The Duchess choose to accessorize with her In2Design Baroque Pearl Drop Earrings.

Kate stepped out in the LK Bennett Mortimer Green Polka Dot Silk Dress (£325) - a new addition to her closet.

Designed in a green and cream patterned silk, the 'Mortimer' dress has a fitted waist to help shape an hourglass silhouette, while the pussy-bow detail adds a feminine touch to this button-down design.
