Kate Middleton's red Alexander McQueen dress was once the perfect look for a 2017 garden party in Berlin. Never did we expect it to be anything other than a glamorous Summer outfit for the duchess to repeat sometime soon. But Kate surprised us. She rocked the very same design with the exact Simone Rocha statement earrings to her mother Carole Middleton's birthday at sister Pippa's house.

Kate played up the monochrome in a pair of scarlet pumps, and she stayed warm in a long black coat with a small brooch for this unofficial surprise appearance. But oh, how we're glad we spotted her! Kate's ensemble is a prime example of how we aim to bring our warm-weather maxis into Winter. You've got the go-ahead from Kate — it is doable.
