The Princess of Wales personified elegance on Wednesday as she was seen in Windsor alongside the Prince of Wales as they met US President Donald Trump and his wife, Melania, to welcome him on the first day of his state visit to the UK. Kate, 43, was seen wearing a deep red coat dress by Emilia Wickstead. The structured number featured a double-breasted silhouette with buttons across the front and a tapered waistline.
For her accessories, Kate rocked a pair of suede heels with a pointed toe, as well as the gorgeous 'Neso' hat by Jane Taylor with netting that covered her face ever so slightly. The pièce de résistance were her beautiful diamond and ruby drop earrings. "The Princess of Wales is fully immersed in her autumnal era in this cranberry red coat dress by Emilia Wickstead," HELLO!'s Fashion and Beauty News Editor, Laura Sutcliffe, says. "This dazzling item from Kate's wardrobe is a true seasonal piece and packs a powerful punch, cementing her status as the style icon of her era. By coordinating her accessories, including her vintage, top-handled Chanel bag and Jane Taylor hat, the mother-of-three is a true vision. By choosing such a bold colour, she is honouring the magnitude of the occasion."

For her hair, Kate styled her luscious locks in loose waves, which cascaded down her back with the top section pulled back to accommodate her hat. Her makeup look featured contoured cheeks, a deep smoky eye and a subtly glossy lip.

Rounding off the look perfectly was Queen Alexandra's Three-Feather Brooch. The piece dates back to 1863 and was originally a wedding gift to Princess Alexandra of Denmark when she married the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). It features 18 brilliant-cut diamonds encircled by tiny emeralds.

Super suit
Kate's Emilia Wickstead coat dress isn't her only fabulous outfit of the month. She officially declared check her print of the season last week as she stepped out in Suffolk, and later in Kent, to visit two textile mills. She was seen wearing a single-breasted blazer and matching cigarette trousers by Bella Freud, paired with Stuart Weitzman's 'Power Black Suede Pumps' as well as a slim-fit black knit top and Daniella Draper's 'Gold Diamond Luxury Maxi Cupid Hoop Earrings'.

Fabulous flats
We loved how Kate swapped her high heels for a pair of flats when she visited the Natural History Museum earlier this month to tour their newly renovated gardens. Kate's 'Ella' loafers by Pretty Ballerinas were teamed with a Ralph Lauren herringbone blazer, a crisp white shirt by With Nothing Underneath and black cigarette trousers.

A pillbox hat
In August, Kate hinted at her 2025 autumn wardrobe as she headed to a Sunday church service on the grounds of Balmoral. Her brown Lock & Co. pillbox hat stole the show, but we also loved her Blaze Milano checked blazer.
