Princess Catherine: A Christmas Style Icon
When it comes to Christmas Day fashion, few do it better than Princess Catherine.
Since her debut at the royal family's traditional church service in 2011, the Princess of Wales has consistently dazzled us with her festive outfits.
Each year, she showcases a unique blend of elegance and seasonal cheer, making her a true style inspiration during the holiday season.
Let's take a stroll down memory lane and revisit some of her most memorable Christmas looks.
In 2011, Kate made her first appearance at St Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham Estate, and she certainly set the bar high.
Wearing a classic yet chic coat from Fun on Echobergine, she complemented her outfit with a matching mulberry handbag and a stylish velvet hat by Jane Corbett.
This ensemble hinted at her future status as a fashion icon.
Fast forward to 2013, and we see Kate embracing her role as a ‘serial outfit repeater'—a trendsetter in her own right.
She donned her beloved Alexander McQueen tartan coat, which she would continue to wear for many winters ahead.
Paired with timeless black suede knee-high boots, this look was both practical and fashionable, proving that some pieces are simply worth repeating.
By 2014, Kate showcased her commitment to supporting British fashion brands.
She chose a tweed coat from MOLO, a brand hailing from Gloucestershire, perfectly capturing that cozy, countryside Christmas vibe.
The following year, 2015, brought a rainy Christmas morning, but that didn't dampen Kate's festive spirit.
She opted for a vibrant green Sportmax coat cinched with a leather belt, paired beautifully with her favorite Kiki McDonagh drop earrings.
This look was a testament to her ability to stay stylish, even in less-than-ideal weather.
In 2016, the royal family broke from tradition, spending Christmas with Kate's family in Bucklebury.
For this special occasion, she wore the Hobbes Celeste coat, an old favorite that she previously sported in 2012.
With its faux fur lapel, this coat added a nostalgic touch to their Christmas morning appearance.
The year 2017 marked Meghan Markle's first Christmas with the royals, and Kate stepped up her game.
She chose a Miu Miu check coat reminiscent of Princess Diana's style, elegantly covering her baby bump.
With a velvet collar and a furry hat, this outfit screamed Christmas spirit and might just be one of Kate's best festive looks to date.
By 2018, Kate had truly come into her own, exuding confidence at the Sandringham appearance.
Her striking red coat from Catherine Walker, complete with a velvet collar and cuffs, stood out against Meghan's more subdued navy ensemble.
Adding a statement headband from Jane Taylor, Kate's look was festive and chic.
In 2019, Kate dazzled once again with another stunning Catherine Walker coat.
This time, she made a sweet nod to her daughter, Princess Charlotte, by matching her hologreen accessories to Charlotte's outfit.
