Kate revives red Catherine Walker Russian Greatcoat for Commonwealth Day service

11/3/2019

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined The Queen and senior members of the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey this afternoon for a multi-faith service to observe Commonwealth Day.

Commonwealth Day is a celebration of the Commonwealth of Nations held on the second Monday in March each year.  The event is usually attended by the Queen in her role as Head of the Commonwealth. This year's Observance focused on the theme ‘A Connected Commonwealth' – underlining the opportunities for the people, governments and institutions of this richly diverse family of nations to connect and work together at many levels through far-reaching and deep-rooted networks of friendship and goodwill.

The Duchess looked resplendent in her red Catherine Walker coat and matching slip dress.

The ensemble was a custom design for Kate back in 2014 when she wore it arriving in Wellington, New Zealand. It is based off of the designer's ‘Russian Greatcoat’ featuring a sharply tailored military design with a double-breasted front highlighted by eighteen metal buttons, a high colour, structured shoulders and a flared skirt.

The Duchess looks beautiful. Love the coatdress, the colour is so nice on the Duchess. I love the grey accessories. The new hat is lovely, I prefer this type shape of hat to me they are much more flattering. Her hair I love in this style. Oh the earrings are gorgeous. I have to say the Queen look beautiful she is amazing.

As always Kate looks amazing! The coat, hat and all accessories are perfect, also the hairstyle (backview too) is such a beautiful finishing touch.
Red looks very regal on Kate.
Very much enjoyed your ‘fashion flashback’ her style is always classy and continues to evolve.
From viewing your second photo above all of the Royals look wonderfully presented for the occasion.

Beautiful as always. I'm impressed at the level of care in coordinating the color of the clutch and shoes to the buttons. Also, we get to see the secret to a perfectly tame updo - a hair net! Simple but brilliant.

Love the hat and her hair. The coat dress? I liked it more the first time she wore it. This time, I notice wow, there's so many buttons!
