The Duchess showed off her shorter hair with the outfit as she paired it with black pumps and her trusty black Mulberry clutch for her outing, where she participated in a Christmas tree collage-making workshop and a musical performance. Her high-fashion ensemble was sleek, appropriate and chic — and we would expect nothing less from Kate!
Kate first donned the ensemble during the Diamond Jubilee at Buckingham Palace in 2012, where she paired the look with a red clutch, red fascinator and nude pumps. The second time she stepped out in the style was in February 2014, where she switched up her get-up and rocked a black clutch and black pumps, with her glossy long hair cascading over her shoulders in soft waves.
While I’m a huge Kate Middleton fan I really can’t wait until her glossy hair grows out — I definitely prefer it when compared to her new ‘do. Although I’m not obsessed with her new hair cut, I do love her red dress — it’s such a fun, festive choice for the holiday season! Love the look? SHOP for a pleated red frock HERE — we love this look because you can easily dress it up or down. Pair it with tights and booties or a pair of pumps depending on whether you’re taking it from day to night.
What do you think? Do you love that Kate recycled her fave red outfit — and which way do you think she styled it best? Check it out above and let us know.
