A coat so nice, she bought it thrice.
Kate Middleton stepped out in a new coral coat dress by Emilia Wickstead today, but royal fans will have déjà vu for the Duchess of Cambridge’s favorite look — she owns the same style in two different colors.
Middleton, 40, attended a Buckingham Palace garden party wearing the full-skirted, long-sleeve coat that she’s previously worn in powder blue and green.
Obviously the nipped-in waist, flared aesthetic suits the duchess, who was all smiles as she stepped out for a sunny spring day in London.
Coordinating with a matching coral fascinator by Jane Taylor, Middleton wore her hair in an elaborate updo and accessorized with cushion-cut drop earrings by Kiki McDonough ($1,700), a vintage Josef clutch and Emmy London heels ($420) for the event.
Her swingy coat silhouette made its debut for the duchess’s first of many St. Patrick’s Day appearances back in 2012, with the new royal choosing a deep green style by the New Zeland-born designer.
She wore the same coat one year later, this time adding a turtleneck underneath and losing the belt to accommodate her baby bump while pregnant with Prince George.

Middleton resurfaced the style in 2017 when she debuted a custom blue version on a solo trip to Luxembourg. Unlike the belted green coat, her pastel version features an attached waistband like the most recent coral style.
She brought the blue piece back for Easter Sunday church services in 2022 — and perhaps the recent outing inspired the duchess to have it made in another color.
For today’s garden party, Middleton joined Prince William’s aunt and uncle, the Earl and Countess of Wessex, and the Queen’s cousin Princess Alexandra to meet members of the British public who were invited because of their contributions.
