Kate Middleton’s Welsh-Inspired Style Steals the Spotlight

Dressed in a bespoke Alexander McQueen coat—yes, the same “Welsh red” one from her Christmas carol concert—Kate paid homage to the country’s flag while keeping things effortlessly chic. But the real showstoppers? Her accessories. A vibrant daffodil pinned to her lapel (a nod to St. David’s Day) and gold hoop earrings with garnet drops from Spells of Love, a Welsh-based brand she’s worn countless times. Talk about supporting local businesses in style.

Her Gucci pleated midi skirt, a repeat from her 2020 Holocaust survivors photoshoot, paired perfectly with a brown turtleneck and Gianvito Rossi suede boots. And let’s not forget the Aspinal of London tote she carried—subtle, sleek, and oh-so-Kate.

The visit wasn’t just about fashion, though. The royal couple met with locals affected by recent floods, even rolling Welsh Cakes at a local shop. It was a blend of duty and diplomacy, with Kate’s wardrobe doing the talking.

So, what’s your take? Can fashion be a form of cultural diplomacy, or is it just about looking good?
