If the Duchess of Cambridge knows anything, it’s how to put together a Christmas Day outfit. Not that we’d expect anything less from Kate, but ever since her first appearance in 2011 with the royals at their traditional Christmas morning church visit, the duchess has been getting it right year after year, serving us some serious festive-dressing inspiration when we need it most.
Like any good winter outfit, her looks always centre around a statement coat that says cosy but refined. Sometimes she pairs her outerwear with suede boots or classic courts, and there’s nearly always a fabulous headpiece, her go-to drop earrings and a hint of faux fur. As the duchess settled into royal life, her Christmas Day outfits only got better and better. You only need to glimpse at 2018’s wow-factor headband as proof.
So just in case you need last-minute outfit ideas for tomorrow (okay, you might not have a reception with the queen, but your Grandma deserves just as much ceremony, doesn’t she?), here’s a roundup of Kate’s festive looks—including but not limited to Diana-inspired checks, tonal ensembles and a rather apt nod to Mrs. Claus. Inspired? Keep scrolling, and you’ll also find our favourite smart coats and boots to shop now.
