Following the yuletide service, the Cambridges chatted with well-wishers who had gathered  outside the church to catch a glimpse of the royal family.

The custom piece appears to be based on the designer's 'Larrisa' style. The tailored mohair coat has a distinctly wintry Russian aesthetic with a sumptuous faux fur collar and cuffs. Kate opted to continue the mohair fabric for the body of the coat.

She offset the neutral tone with festive forest green accessories. Kate brought back the Sylvia Fletcher for Lock & Co. hat, first worn on Christmas Day 2015 and again for St. Patrick's Day 2017.

She carried her Emmy London 'Natasha' Clutch in 'Greenery' suede and debuted a pair of the brand's 'Josie' pumps (£‌330) in a matching hue.

Prince William and Prince George arrived in a separate car.

The Duchess looked festive in a red tartan piece by Emilia Wickstead. From what we can see, it looks like it's based on the designer's 'Anni' Tartan Georgette Midi Dress (£2,730).

Kate could be wearing a blouse version of the dress because if you recall she owns the 'Pris' skirt rendered in the same pattern. It's possible she could be wearing separates, but she may have also bought the dress! We won't know unless we see the outfit in its entirety.

Hosted by The Queen at Buckingham Palace, the annual white-tie soirée is one of the most formal events on the royal calendar.

Over 1,000 people from around 130 countries, including members of the British government and past Prime Ministers attend the gathering.

Kate looked every inch the princess in a new Alexander McQueen gown.

The custom velvet dress appears to be based on the designer's ready-to-wear Bejeweled Long Sleeve Illusion Gown (US$7,290) featuring the same curved v-neckline and peaked shoulders. Kate's gown does not have the lace insets or the bejeweled back.

The Duchess donned her 'go-to' diadem - the Queen Mary Lover's Knot tiara.

In addition to the tiara, Kate also loaned The Queen's Nizam of Hyderabad necklace. We first saw her wear the piece to the 2014 Portrait Gala.

Kate also accessorized with 'new' diamond chandelier earrings and a matching marquis cluster ring.

Pinned to Kate's dress was a Royal Family Order of Queen Elizabeth II which she was awarded in 2017 and first seen on the Duchess at the Netherlands state banquet in 2018.

Kate was also decorated with the Royal Victorian Order sash and badge. You may recall The Duchess of Cambridge was appointed Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order on her eighth wedding anniversary this April as recognition of her service to the Sovereign.  Kate first wore the order to the United States state banquet in June.

The Duchess debuted a jade green Alexander McQueen shirtdress. In this screengrab from a Daily Mail video shared by @21_royall on Twitter, we get a better glimpse at the length of dress.

The custom creation features a piquet band collar, puffed shoulders, inset waistband, and a pleated skirt. The piece appears to take inspiration from this McQueen ready-to-wear shirtdress.
