Even in all black, Kate Middleton always stands out from the crowd. Kate stepped out alongside the royal family [1] for the annual Remembrance Day service, looking elegant in a black ensemble. The evening before, Kate stood alongside husband Prince William, wearing a lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana [2], but on Sunday, she traded her party dress for a sophisticated daytime look.
Kate wore a double-breasted custom Alexander McQueen coat with velvet paneling, which she accented with a red poppy to honor the fallen soldiers. To accessorize the structured coat, Kate donned a black fascinator with a netted veil over her eyes. She wore elegant yet simple drop pearl earrings [3] and carried a sleek black Mulberry clutch in her hand. Though the outfit was somber, Kate looked sophisticated, as only she knows how.
