Kate Middleton does a fashion U-turn in £1.8k fitted sailor dress | HELLO!
Radiating elegance in navy blue, the Princess of Wales stepped out in Scotland alongside her husband to attend HMS Glasgow's naming ceremony.
Kate has been deliberately wearing more understated looks of late - but this was a real return to form with a super glamorous look with a naurical feel fitting for the occasion. The royal, 43, was spotted arriving at BAE Systems' shipyard in Scotstoun, Glasgow wearing a coat dress by Suzannah London with a white stripe down the middle and on the pockets.

She also added a pair of suede nude pumps to her ensemble. As ever, her brunette locks were styled into an effortlessly chic look, on this occasion an updo to cater for her statement headwear.

May is turning out to be a busy month for Kate, who has taken every opportunity to showcase her sartorial credentials. Along with the Prince of Wales, the princess hosted a Royal Garden Party at Buckingham Palace earlier this week on behalf of the King.
She chose a suitably elegant look centred around the lemon yellow 'Elta' dress by Emilia Wickstead. The classic A-line number featured a crew neckline, long sleeves, and a wrap detail around the waist for a silhouette-accentuating effect.

Sporting the colour of the season with ease, Kate paired the Emilia Wickstead number with a pair of suede Gianvito Rossi slingbacks and a woven clutch by Forever New. A Philip Treacy hat elevated her look.

On the headwear front, it was a royal rewear for the mother of three. Kate wore the statement floral hat during the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's wedding in 2018 to the event that fell just a day after Harry and Meghan's seventh wedding anniversary.
Kate also wore her statement floral hat during Trooping the Colour in 2019 to accessorise her bespoke Alexander McQueen dress.
