Princess of Wales fashion statement at the Remembrance Festival

The Princess of Wales made an elegant fashion statement at the Rememberance Festival

November 10th 2024 at Albert Hall

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, made an elegant and fashion statement at the Remembrance Festival 2024 at the Royal Albert Hall on November 9, 2024. This event is a significant occasion to honour the sacrifices of the British and Commonwealth Armed Forces. Kate’s appearance at the festival marked her first major public event since completing her cancer treatment.

Outfit Details

Kate wore a mid-length black dress with a deep v-neck collar. This dress has currently not been claimed by a fashion house.

It is similar to a style worn on a number of occasions by the Princess of Wales from Alexander McQueen. Often referred to as the sheath dress. However, as of yet, there is no confirmation.

Accessories

Pearl Pendant and Earrings: Kate accessorised with a delicate pearl necklace by Monica Vinader and the Collingwood pearl drop earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana. Pearls are traditionally worn for mourning and remembrance, making them a fitting choice for this solemn occasion.

Shoes: She paired her outfit with black Romy 100 pumps from Jimmy Choo.

Handbag: Kate carried a stylish black Chanel quilted mini square bag. This style pictured comes from the current Chanel collection, but on close inspection, the bag carried by the Princess of Wales looks closer to a vintage square Chanel purse. One closer to the early 1990’s style.

Brooch: She also wore a brooch for the Fleet Air Arm, to which she is Commodore-in-Chief, along with a poppy flower on her dress lapel.

Significance

Kate’s choice of outfit and accessories paid tribute to both the fallen soldiers and her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana. The poppy flower is a symbol of remembrance for military personnel, and wearing it is a tradition during Remembrance Day events.
