The Duchess wore an asymmetrical cloche in the color of the day, adding diamond drop earrings, as well as a diamond and pearl brooch with oak leaves and acorns (motifs from the Middleton family’s coat of arms).
She cleverly paired the midlength coat with a coordinating crocodile belt, enhancing her waist and giving it even more polish.
In the modern way that seemingly only Kate can, she makes the posh look relatable to non-royals (eh hem, us), by tossing on over-the-knee boots (the boots of the season!) and basic knit gloves in black, for a patrician look that’s bound to inspire for years to come.
