Nautical-inspired fashion has long been a signature of the Princess of Wales, so it was only fitting that she embraced this aesthetic for the official naming ceremony of the Royal Navy’s HMS Glasgow.
Appointed sponsor of the Type 26 anti-submarine frigate in June 2021 – a vessel designed to safeguard the UK’s aircraft carriers – Kate marked the occasion in a classic navy and white ensemble by Suzannah London.
Crafted from luxurious Italian wool crepe, her coat dress featured a figure-skimming silhouette and flap pockets, accented with a refined white trim.
Its streamlined silhouette paid homage to vintage couture while maintaining a contemporary edge – perfectly in line with Kate’s image.
The naval theme also served as a subtle tribute to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, who was often seen in skirt suits with a similar flair during the 1980s and 90s.
Kate completed the outfit with a Philip Treacy hat, debuted at Trooping the Colour in 2022, an Emmy London clutch and Gianvito Rossi heels.
She added a touch of sparkle with the Cabochon Sapphire Drop Earrings, believed to have been a wedding gift to Diana.
Kate’s coat dress is available to purchase below, along with a selection of budget-friendly variations that capture her sailor-inspired look.
