When Kate Middleton stepped out in London [1], we were immediately taken by her blue Sportmax coat. Although it isn't the first time that she's worn this piece [2], the Duchess of Cambridge definitely has a knack for making two similar outfits look different [3] with the mere removal or, in this case, addition of accessories. And who doesn't love seeing her wearing her power color [4]?
For this special occasion, Kate dressed up her coat with matching blue Rupert Sanderson heels, a suede clutch, and gorgeous sapphire earrings to match her G Collins & Sons pendant. But while she would have usually stopped there, the duchess added another unusual accessory to her outfit: a printed Beulah London scarf [5] ($111).
Seeing as her future sister-in-law Meghan Markle loves wearing scarves herself [6], we can't help but wonder if the two have been bonding over fashion and sharing styling tips with one another — after all, they have been spending more time together [7]! Read on to get a closer look at Kate's outfit, see the custom $99 dress she wore underneath [8], and shop a similar coat to add to your own collection.
