The Duchess of Cambridge attended the Anzac Day Service of Commemoration and Thanksgiving at Westminster Abbey today alongside her brother-in-law Prince Harry, and the Duke of Gloucester.
Anzac Day is a national day of remembrance in Australia and New Zealand which marks the anniversary of the Gallipoli landings in 1915 by Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (Anzac's) during the First World War. It now broadly commemorates all Australians and Kiwis “who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations” and “the contribution and suffering of all those who have served”.
Kate stepped out in a new peacock blue Catherine Walker coatdress.
The custom wool-crepe piece is based off the designer's 'Amber' style featuring a high neck collar, flared skirt and diagonal fastening of covered buttons.
The Duchess also debuted the 'Varick' hat by Rosie Olivia Millinery (£440) - an almond shaped chapeau with curled pheasant feather trim.
Another new addition was a pair of navy bow accented gloves.
At first glance I thought they were the pair she first wore back in 2013 at the Place2Be Forum, but the bow detail is different.
They do however look similar to the black gloves she wore for a visit to the Royal Air Force Wittering base in 2017, and the burgundy gloves she wore on Christmas Day. The brand of the gloves remains a mystery.
Kate offset the peacock hue of the coat with green suede accessories by Emmy London. We saw the return of the 'Rebecca' pumps in greenery suede, first seen at the 2017 St Patrick's Day parade. Today she premiered the 'Natasha' clutch in a matching 'greenery' suede. Both pieces are available via Emmy's bespoke service.
The Duchess chose jewellery by Kiki McDonough, wearing her Blue Topaz and Diamond Drop Earrings, andEden blue topaz flower necklace.
And finally, a closer look at Kate's elegant up-do.

Beautiful coat and wonderful colour on Kate, overall her classic polished look. But I just don't get why green accessories, am not at all sure that shade goes with the zinging peacock blue. Thanks for such a quick post :)

In the beginning I thought it was rare to match green accessories, then I realized the hat had some green also..

Kate outfit today is lovely, elegant and very classy with a very interesting hat, perfect color jewelry. It looks a little daring to wear green pumps & clutch to take off the slight green in the feathers, but a light blue teal Pump & clutch would have up lifted the beautiful outfit. Another possibility is her Alexander McQueen lighter navy suede pumps and Anya Hindmarch Blue Leather Mararo Box clutch would have been a another choice because as you can see the gloves in same color blue compliment the outfit. She looks fabulous. 💙

The Duchess looks beautiful. The coatdress is elegant and suits her well. I personally love the higher collar and button sleeves, the colour is gorgeous. The teaming of the green suede, a bit different but I thought it blended well. The jewellery and her new hat fantastic!. Her hair polished and all class.

I like the coat and hat but I think the styling is off, a peacock blue coay with dark green shoes and clutch and light blue jewellery just does'nt work for me maybe one but not both, black shoes would have worked better with this.

I love seeing Kate and Harry together! Their bond is undeniably strong and it reminds me of the relationship I have with my brother-in-law. The Duchess looked so elegant in this Catherine Walker coatdress and it's a lovely addition to her closet which I'm sure we will see her wear again. The color is gorgeous but I don't like the green accessories with it.

I love the peacock colors combination. I usually like a blue/green combo because it is reminiscent of blue sky and green grass. Plus, the colors complement Harry's coloring very nicely without them being matchy-matchy. The silhouette is always a winner on her, don't fix what isn't broken.
