The Princess of Wales during an audience with Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska today:

The Princess of Wales looks really wonderful and the pearl bracelet is a nice touch too.

[Fem]

As always impeccably dressed in a way that fits the occasion perfectly. The hat is absolutely amazing.

 

[W.Y.CII]

I think it's the same design of the white coat she wore in a joint engagement with Camilla and QEII. The hat is beautiful.

 

[An Ard Ri]

The Princess looks stunning,the outfit and jewels are perfect for the occasion.

 

[Emmily]

I'm honestly genuinely curious- how does one find so much to dislike over what are essentially plain black mourning clothes? I mean, I'd say for all the outfits this week that they were appropriate to the occasion and that's about all there is to say.

Perfectly said

 

[Princess Luna]

Again Catherine gets it totally right. This is perfection ?

 

[MARG]

I think that is the very best daywear that Catherine has ever worn. Each element on its own is quite chic but it is the sum of all its parts that makes it exceptional.

 

[Sionevar]

Catherine looked sensational. The absolute image of grace, dignity and class. 10/10.

 

[Erin9]

Catherine looked sensational. The absolute image of grace, dignity and class. 10/10.

Agreed. She looks very elegant.

 

[Sister Morphine]

My only complaint about her outfit is I think the hat is too big. I've never liked those wide-brimmed picture hats. I think a pillbox hat with the birdcage veil would have looked better. I'd give the overall look a 9.5/10.

 

[CyrilVladisla]

Catherine looked marvelous. The netting of the hat lets an individual see her face.

 

[Lilyflo]

First class outfit from head to toe. I have a very similar dress that I use for funerals and that tailored 50s style never fails to look elegant.

 

[Ista]

There's something about the sum total of this outfit--hat, dress, jewels--that seems to move the Princess of Wales firmly into second lady of the land territory. It really is perfection.

Very well said. She does seem to get it very right at occasions like this.

 

[eya]

Just soooo elegant! From the outfit, the Jewels, the hat!! Perfect for the occasion!

 

[Frelinghighness]

Dignified and elegant. The hat, hairstyle and jewelry compliment the dress. Gathers and full skirt flattering to her and neckline shows choker. Hat is superb

 

[Nico]

Nailed it. Perfect, almost intimidating.

I love the outfit. It is beautiful and divine.

 

[Mirabel]

Yes, it suits her perfectly.

 

[samitude]

Isn't her stylist the wife of Getty Images royal photographer Chris Jackson? I wonder if she will continue with that job now that Catherine is The Princess of Wales.

Natasha Archer, yes.

It will be interesting. I’m also curious to see if Angela Kelly retires or if she goes to work for Queen Camilla or the Princess of Wales. Or maybe just stays on in sort of an advisory role focused on the jewelry collection.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

The Princess of Wales is sartorial perfection imo. She doesn't need advice from anyone.

The Queen Consort has greatly improved her fashion but maybe Ms. Kelly could go work for her ?

 

[Toledo]

Princess Catherine often reminds he of a 21st Century version of the sophisticated Princess of Wales, and later Queen, Alexandra back in the 19th Century.

Perfect. So very elegant and appropriate.

This coat has been previously worn at least twice. First worn at the Remembrance Day Memorial in 2017.

I think the coat was worn once in the days immediately after the passing of Prince Philip.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

It very much reminds me of the type of Catherine Walker coat dresses that Diana wore so beautifully in the mid 90's.

 

[Lilyflo]

Very smart coat but I hate those buttons. Big, metallic buttons look trashy unless on uniforms IMO.
