Joined by husband Prince William, Kate was the picture of elegance in her Catherine Walker design, which boasted button-down detailing and 80s inspired epaulettes.

The Duchess completed her chic attire with some apt accessories, paying tribute to her Scottish title by carrying a Strathberry clutch bag designed in Scotland.

Adding a polka dot cardigan from Jigsaw, Kate cinched her waist with a black leather belt. She was wearing a new Daniella Draper necklace featuring her children's initials, worth £495.

Blue is definitely the Duchess of Cambridge's colour!

Kate's cable-knit number dates back to 2019, and we couldn't help but notice how similar it was to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's off-duty look of choice.
