Pairing the coat with a gorgeous forest green dress and floral blue face mask, the royal layered up in thick black tights, slipping into a stylish pair of black pumps from Sole Bliss.

The Duchess looked every inch the fashionista as she opened up about sporting a beehive hairdo during the sixties, telling one of the singers at the 100 club: "I used to have my hair like that in the sixties, so I know your pain."

The bouffant hairstyle was all the rage in the 1960s after being developed by Margaret Vinci Heldt in Chicago. It became synonymous with stars such as The Ronettes, Dusty Springfield and The B-52s, and has stood the test of time, with the late singer Amy Winehouse adopting the beehive as a signature look.
