​Kate looked elegant yet festive in her red Alexander McQueen double-breasted long coat which she debuted for the ‘Hold Still’ Outdoor community exhibition launch in October.

Underneath the coat we got a glimpse of the Emilia Wickstead 'Pris' Red Tartan Skirt.

​You may recall seeing it at the 2018 Christmas party which the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge hosted at Kensington Palace for the Royal British Legion.

The new scarf Kate wore today appears to have the same tartan print, hence we can only assume it's by the same designer.

The bold red ensemble was offset with familiar black accessories consisting of the Grace Han Love Letter Small Top Handle Bag and Ralph Lauren Collection Suede High Heel Boots.
