Kate wears a military-inspired Alexander McQueen jacket for Remembrance Sunday

11/11/2018

This morning, members of the royal family gathered for the annual Remembrance Sunday commemorations at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London.  The Duchess of Cambridge attended the ceremony and watched the service from the Foreign Office central balcony alongside Her Majesty the Queen, and Camila, Duchess of Cornwall.

Catherine wore a new bespoke piece from her go-to designer Alexander McQueen.

The military-inspired design is a fusion of a couple McQueen styles, namely the two shown below. The bodice and inset waistband are similar to those on the Military Jacket (on the left), while the contrast collar and epaulets resemble those seen on the Military Jacket with Lace Inserts shown on the right.

Kate donned a new black felt hat -  a custom version of Lock & Co's 'Abney' style (£795) which is available in burgundy and brown leopard print.  I have edited the stock image colour to show it in black.

The Duchess wore her Cassandra Goad Cavolfiore Pearl Stud Earrings, and topped off the look with her Royal British Legion 'Women of the First World War' Poppy Brooch (£29.99) and three paper poppies - possibly one for each of her great-great uncles who were killed in the Great War.

The white collar and red trimmed epaulettes make this jacket much more flattering than straight black. Love the hair!

This outfit might not be everyone's cup of tea, but it is nice to see the Duchess going outside the box and delving into something completely different for her. A full length view of her outfit would be nice, but she looks lovely.

THIS is how you do bespoke. If you are going to do bespoke...do something outside the box that no one else has. I love this..I think it looks like a female version of what William wore to the same event. I love how the three ladies coordinate in their viewing box. I really like her hair like this...a nice, neat updo appropriate for the occasion.
