Chanel's classic bouclé tweed jacket first entered the fashion scene way back when in the 1950s, but there's no denying that the iconic outerwear is still utterly à la mode in 2022. A firm favourite among fashion insiders, the hugely popular style has been worn by everyone from Kate Moss to Princess Diana to Taylor Swift.

As one might expect, Chanel bouclé jackets are highly coveted, and therefore the prices for vintage versions are pretty eye watering. But your pursuit of the fashion classic needn't end there – because cult-adored Self-Portrait offers its own, ultra-festive we hasten to add, version of the jacket and it has recently been rocked by one of the royal family's most stylish members.

The Princess of Wales filmed a special introduction for Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, a pre-recorded carol service which is due to air on ITV on Christmas Eve. The concert, held at Westminster Abbey earlier this month, was attended by plenty of royals, including her husband the Prince of Wales as well as King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie to name a few.

In the promotional image Princess Kate epitomised festive glamour in her black sequin-encrusted cropped cardigan by Self-Portrait which featured a rounded neckline, contrasting bronze piping and patch pockets. To dial up the glitter stakes even further, the jacket also featured bead-encrusted buttons and plenty of embellishment for maximum impact.

Considering recreating Princess Kate's festive look? There's even a matching skirt that you can snap up if you're wanting to go full on suit co-ord.

The 40-year-old wore her hair in an unfussy side parting and her glossy waves had a certain 'post-salon perfection' vibe about them. Exuding her signature regal radiance, the princess opted for an understated makeup moment, consisting of a dash of mascara, her trademark defined brows and a peachy flush across her cheeks.
