Following on from the Hold Still project coming to completion, The Duchess of Cambridge got to see the final entries in person in an outdoor exhibition of the photos at Waterloo earlier this week. Kate was joined by her husband, Prince William, for the event and chose a new look, in red and black.
The Duchess chose a cheery red McQueen coat, very similar to the ‘double-breasted asymmetric coat’ with a ruffle. It has two sets of double-breasted buttons in black that begin at the waist, intersected by a seam. Square flap pockets, peaked shoulders and an open neck, with notched lapel add a chic tailored fit to the coat. It is likely the same wool/cashmere blend, and the original cost £3,560.

Made from 9ct gold, these hoops feature three diamonds each: two round brilliant stones and one baguette stone in the middle, with the style’s not-quite-perfect circles and arrowhead end. This equals about 0.65 carats. Get a pair here.

Kate also wore another Amaia Kids mask, the ‘Yellow Pepper’ style. See here, although it is sold out.
