Kate Middleton Is Chic As Ever In A Familiar Checkered Coat For The Wales Vs. England Rugby Match

For the game, the Princess of Wales donned a "diplomatic" red and white Catherine Walker houndstooth coat that she first wore back in 2018 during an overseas trip to Sweden. This isn't the first time that Kate's repeated a stylish outfit (check out the one-shoulder Alexander McQueen gown she wore to the BAFTAs!). William, meanwhile, kept warm in a blue suit and a simple black coat, which he accessorized with a red scarf and red tie around his neck.

William described her outfit as "diplomatic" to a fellow attendee because red and white are the colors of the two opposing teams' jerseys. The double-breasted coat is knee-length, has a collar, and is finished with oversized glossy red buttons. Catherine Walker & Co. created the coat for Kate to wear in Stockholm, Sweden in 2018 when she was 6 or 7 months pregnant. It seems she's had the garment tailored so that she can continue to wear it day-to-day.

She put a fresh spin on the coat for the game by pairing it with a black roll-neck sweater dress, matching tights, ankle boots, and a white handbag. The outfit was the perfect balance between comfort and style. 

For shoes, she wore the Aquatalia Ruby Dry boots in black suede. And, the Princess carried her white Mulberry Amberley handbag to the match, cleverly matching the white houndstooth check of her coat. Kate opted for a pair of sparkling white gold earrings from Mappin and Webb. The princess finished her look with a sparkling rose brooch pinned to her coat. It appears to be an official England Rugby piece (the team's emblem is a rose).
