Kate Middleton commemorates D-Day in a favourite Alexander McQueen look
See this look in our Kate Middleton style gallery »
For the 70th anniversary of D-Day, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge joined The Queen and other royal family members in Arromanches Les Bains in France, last Friday to commemorate the historic Western Allies entrance into World War II. After the ceremony, the royal duo had a meet-cute moment with 50 veterans at a tea party before they finished the day off with a historic tour at the Musée de Débarquement.
Making sure she stood out just enough without taking the spotlight, Kate Middleton opted for a repeat outfit. And when it comes to recycling clothes, no one reworks an old outfit quite like Kate (or a fancy hat for that matter). If you’re having trouble placing where she wore this cornflower-blue coat last, here’s the scoop: The Duchess of Cambridge previously donned the custom designed Alexander McQueen (which is surprisingly still available) during her tour Down Under back in April when visiting New Zealand’s Blenheim War Memorial. Working a completely different outfit, thanks to her accessories, the Duchess switched things up with black accents, including a fascinator by Lock & Co, which we had last seen on her at the christening of the Royal Princess cruise ship. She topped off her ensemble with black suede pumps, a sleek leather Mulberry clutch and sapphire and diamond earrings to match her coat.
