I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Princess of Wales looks amazing in red. She's not alone, as the vibrant shade is super flattering on all skin tones.

From dresses to knitwear, the 43-year-old royal is often seen wearing a red hue, particularly outerwear in the autumn/winter months. Her brands of choice range from Alexander McQueen to LK Bennett

On Wednesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales were pictured in Pontypridd, South Wales, and Kate looked stunning in her bespoke red Alexander McQueen coat.

The royal last wore the style back in December, to host her 'Together At Christmas' Carol Service at Westminster Abbey.

Kate has more red coats in her collection, but if you're looking for an affordable option, I've found a gorgeous one at Nobody's Child, and it's just dropped in the sale.

Made from a wool-blend, it feels luxuriously soft and will keep you warm and cosy, as well as adding a statement touch to any outfit.

The longline coat is cut with a relaxed fit, classic collar, double breasted buttons, and pockets for all of your essentials.

Retailing for £130 (or $222 if you're in the US), that's a huge saving as it's coming to the end of the season, but this is a timeless style you'll wear year after year.

I also spotted a gorgeous red coat from Karen Millen, and it's so similar to Kate's recent look. 

If you want to style it like Princess Kate, add a pair of black wide-leg trousers and a classic black sweater. Or channel another of her chic red coat ensembles with tartan, leather gloves and suede knee-high boots.  

If you're looking for a modern oversized cut without a waist belt, I also love this one from Ghost. It looks amazing styled with white jeans as we move into spring, and it's on sale.

If your budget is higher, you can still buy one of Kate's exact red coats from LK Bennett. The Spencer Coat is made in Italy from 100% sustainably-sourced wool and will be a forever piece in your wardrobe. 

Cut with a tailored, single-breasted fit, it features gold hardware and heritage-inspired snaffle detail. It retails for £599/$950 and is available in UK sizes 6-18.

The Princess often wears red when she's in Wales as a nod to the country's national colour, but she's also worn head-to-toe red on other occasions, from the St David’s Day Parade in London in 2023 to the annual church service in Sandringham in 2018.
