The Princess of Wales is undeniably a style icon with a wardrobe full of red carpet gowns and effortlessly chic daytime ensembles that turn heads on every outing.
Just this weekend, Kate, 42, was spotted on a rare occasion as she arrived at Balmoral for the annual summer stay with her husband Prince William, and their children, as well as King Charles, and Queen Camilla.

But her tailored trench coat isn't the only waist-cinching moment in the royal's extensive wardrobe. Her belted looks remain some of the strongest in her repertoire - join HELLO! in revisiting her very best.
Bridal bliss

Gorgeous in green

Beautiful in beige

Perfect in pink

Terrific in teal

Wonderful in white

Fabulous in florals

Prince George's mother switched up her game in 2019 when she mixed a belted silhouette with a floral print. The then-Duchess attended the Back to Nature Festival at RHS Garden Wisley wearing a pale blue textured dress by Emilia Wickstead covered in pink flowers and styled with heeled wedges.
