Kate debuts white Catherine Walker coatdress for a very regal Garter Day

17/6/2019

The Duchess of Cambridge attended today's historic Garter Day service with other members of the Royal Family.

The Order of the Garter is the most senior and the oldest British Order of Chivalry and was founded by Edward III in 1348. Each year in June, a procession and service take place at Windsor Castle for the Order of the Garter. Prince William has been a Royal Knights Companion of the Garter since 2008.

The British royals were joined by two special foreign guests.  Today Queen Elizabeth II formally invested King Felipe VI of Spain and King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands into the Order of the Garter.  The monarchs were accompanied by their wives, Queen Letizia of Spain and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands.

Kate attended her first Garter Day service in 2008, when she was dating Prince William.  We didn't see her again at the annual procession until after the couple were married in 2011. Since then, she has attended nearly every year with some gaps coinciding with the birth of her children. In 2017 there was no service for the Order of the Garter because the Queen had to attend the State Opening of Parliament following a snap general election in the UK.

The Duchess usually favours a sartorial repeat for this regal event, but today she opted for a new white coatdress by Catherine Walker.

She debuted the 'Liza' style rendered in ivory wool crepe, and designed with cropped jacket ‘panels’ and a Peter Pan collar edged in fine black lace. The fit-and-flare coat has single-breasted front fashioned with self-covered buttons.

The Duchess accessorized her new coat with familiar supplements. We saw the return of the Lock & Co's  'Lion Tamer' hat. Designed by the firm's resident milliner Sylvia Fletcher, the Lion Tamer is hand-sculpted from layers of dyed ebony sinamay and finished with a simple ostrich feather.

The piece dates back to June 2011. Kate first wore it at the Trooping the Colour parade, and again to a friend's wedding later that same day.  It reappeared 5 years later during a visit to France in 2016 for the Battle of Somme commemorations.

That is a nice outfit. Again too expensive for me to afford

Love the entire look on Kate. The new Catherine Walker coatdress looks so smart! Paired perfectly with the hat and shoes. Right on Kate.

I quite like the combination of black and white, we hadn't seen that on Kate in a long while. I like the collar of the dress, the silhouette and the length. What I absolutely hate is the side panels. In my eyes, they look very out of place and the whole effect makes the Duchess look fat. Kate has been very in point lately, but this coat just doesn't do it for me.

I do not like it at all, also cannot she to cover the knees, too girly. She needs to grow up in fashion, she is beautiful but boring. This coud be another one.
I prefered Sophie.

The Duchess looks nice. I love her up do and beautiful pearl earrings, but I don't like this look at all, it is a predictable look. Matronly looking. Queen Maxima sealed the deal for me she looked incredible, so elegant and chic.

I think this looks dowdy. I like the idea of the embroidery...especially at the collar but I agree that the panels are too much.

I love this hat and I pretty much never like any of the hates, ever.

This is a smart and pretty look from Kate and it's good to see this flattering hat again. I really like seeing this group of the European royal ladies together. They create a co-ordinated look with the white and pink tonings with the slight edges of black in Kate and Letizia's outfits.

Queen Maxima, as she so often does, looks as though she is enjoying the occasion - I so wish someone would cover her outfits like this blog does for other royal ladies. She is so bold and colourful with many of her fashion choices.

Catherine's outfit was appropriate and coordinated from head to toe with the beautiful Lion Tamer’ hat, that I Love and was happy for her to wear it again. Queen Letizia headband was the nicest style with the peonies flower of all the ladies that have wore headbands. Queen Maxima whole outfit was the most regal and beautiful out all the woman today, she won the fashion show ❤️.
