Kate was on point in a new custom green Alexander McQueen coat based off a military jacket from the designer's ready-to-wear collection. Thanks to @LadyParky79 for the information.

Here's a look at the back of the coat with peplum detail. It gives the illusion of separates.

The Duchess also donned a new green felt percher hat by Awon Golding for Lock & Co.

The look wouldn't be complete without the gold three-leaf shamrock brooch, pinned just above her sprig of shamrock. The piece  belongs to the Irish Guards who loan it to Kate for the occasion.

FASHION FLASHBACK
Green has been the colour of choice for Kate for this traditional event, except for when she surprised us in 2015 by wearing a chestnut brown Catherine Walker ensemble. You may recall that the Duchess intentionally missed the 2016 parade.

This is a typical Kate outfit. I am under the impression that the coat looks a little too baggy on her, making for an unflattery silhouette. The hat is on point, I miss the headbands she used to wear a few months ago however.

Is this a long coat based on the image you posted...or a shorter jacket and skit combo..I can’t tell? Either way...I love it (green) and it is impeccably tailored.

The coat is beautiful and so appropriate for the occasion! Accessories perfect, as well as her hair.

This shade of green is splendid on Kate. I 💚 this outfit for Saint Patrick’s Day. Of all her great looks through the years, this is my favorite. Elegant, professional, and show stopping. A winner! Prince William looks fabulous as well.
Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all ☘️☘️💚☘️☘️💚🍀

This is a beautiful outfit. The colour of the coat is gorgeous. Perfectly groomed. Really like the hat, her hair looks terrific. Earrings are lovely, accessories well put together.

Loving the military style of the coat, perfect sartorial nod to the occasion. Gorgeous green. I think this is my pick of her St Patricks day outfits.

This new very dark green coat is now my favorite, and through the years they have now put more fasters at neck and at the bottom of the coat to keep it closed for chill and wind. Kate is wearing a new green hat that resembles 🍀 that I love, it reminds me of the red hat she wore in 2012. A well planned outfit, beautiful.

Looking at the photos again, I am even more impressed. Kate’s posture and bearing are regal. William and Kate always look happy, smiling and laughing when interacting with people, and seem genuinely happy to be where they are.
I absolutely adore the dark green hat, with its whimsical salute to the shamrock. (I loved the red Canadian maple leaf hat as well) I haven’t read much about it yet, but am hoping my favorite royal hat blogger, Hat Queen, will feature it.
