Kate is gorgeous in bespoke Alexander McQueen and £74 earrings for latest appearance

Kate, Princess of Wales was lovely in forrest green today on a visit to Kirkgate Market. The royal opted for a mid-length coat for this chilly occasion.

The royal was the picture of elegance in a long, dark green coat, bespoke from an Alexander McQueen collection. The Princess also owns the coat in red.

It almost had a military-style feel, with four buttons across the bodice, strong shoulders and lapels.

The coat was fitted in the middle, accentuating the Princess’ tiny waist.

She accessorised it with a dainty mini handbag in the same shade of green. This was the Micro Bold Leather Top Handle Bag in Green by Manu Atelier, priced at £435.

Kate’s coat was the show stopper of today’s look, but royal fans could also catch a glimpse of what she was wearing underneath.

She opted for a cosy cream jumper, relatively plain aside from two stripes in purple and yellow on the collar.

She paired this wintery look with a pair of brown suede heeled boots. Unsurprisingly, Kate’s shoes were Gianvito Rossi, a favourite designer of the stylish royal.

Kate appeared to be taking a leaf out of Camilla’s book, as she is frequently spotted wearing a black pair.

DON’T MISS…

As is typical of Kate, she went for barely-there nail polish which is a firm favourite of royal women.

Today isn’t the first time Kate has stepped out in a stylish green coat.

In fact, in a video campaign for The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, Kate wore a very similar piece.

However, instead of a heavy winter coat, Kate was sporting a dark olive blazer over a plain black T-shirt.
