Each year the stylish royal look effortlessly elegant, wearing fashion-forward, sophisticated outfits often featuring maxi-length form-fitting coats, pointed-toed boots or heels and small matching handbags - perfectly balancing royal glamour with contemporary chic.
For the 2024 event, Princess Kate repurposed one of her most stylish coats, adding one of this year's most coveted accessories to create a festive look that oozed femininity.

This isn't the first time Kate has added a statement bow to a look to give it a fashion-forward edge. On Sunday, November 10, she joined the Royal Family at the annual Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph in London.
She paid her respects in an upcycled Catherine Walker coat dress that she had previously worn twice before, by adding a black velvet bow around the collar.
