The Duchess of Cambridge once again proved her style credentials when she stepped out with Prince William in Belgium on Sunday. The royal couple attended a special ceremony to mark the centenary of the Battle of Passchendaele, with Kate opting for a familiar outfit for the poignant outing. The 35-year-old wore all white for the occasion, choosing an elegant coat dress with a matching hat, which she teamed with a pair of grey suede heels and matching purse. She first wore the Alexander McQueen ensemble back in July 2015 for the christening of her daughter Princess Charlotte.

Kate and William joined soldiers at the Menin Gate Memorial to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele. They also took part in the Last Post ceremony, which has been performed at the site every night at 8pm since 1928, alongside Queen Mathilde and King Philippe of Belgium and British Prime Minister Theresa May. The Menin Gate is covered with the names of 54,000 British dead who have no known grave, and some 200 descendants whose ancestors' names appear on the Gate attended Sunday's commemoration.

During the ceremony, the Duke gave a short address before laying a wreath with the Belgian king. "Members of our families; our regiments; our nations; all sacrificed everything for the lives that we live today," William said. "During the First World War, Britain and Belgium stood shoulder to shoulder. One hundred years on, we still stand together, gathering as so many do every night, in remembrance of that sacrifice."
