Princess Kate Embraces 4 of Fall's Biggest Trends in a Romantic Tartan Outfit For Surprise Visit to Belfast
The Princess of Wales manages to be on-trend without even trying.
Prince William and Princess Kate surprised fans with a visit to Northern Ireland on Friday, October 9, and the Princess of Wales managed to wrap four of the season's hottest fall fashion trends into one timeless-looking outfit.
Plaid has always been a fall staple—especially for the royals—but this year it's bigger than ever, and Kate debuted a green tartan midi skirt by one of her favorite brands, Emilia Wickstead, for her trip to Belfast. She paired it with an old favorite ivory blouse by British brand Knatchbull, and its high collar and ruffled front combined two fall trends in one classic top.
She topped off her outfit with a long black coat, a custom piece by Catherine Walker, accessorizing with a black croc Ralph Lauren belt, new black pumps by Gianvito Rossi, her go-to Cartier Trinity Earrings and a perfectly on-trend Mulberry bag.
The Princess of Wales visits Belfast, Ireland on October 9.
Princess Kate wears an Emilia Wickstead skirt and carries a Mulberry bag.
Top-handled bags feel especially fresh this fall, and the princess carried the Small Amberley Satchel she debuted during a 2022 visit to Boston in an autumnal evergreen shade.
The Princes of Wales has long been a fan of Mulberry, and although this is only the third time she's carried her green bag, she owns at least eight other styles from the British brand ranging from clutches to a sensible work tote.
William and Kate traveled to Belfast to highlight the work of Prince William's Homewards organization. The Prince of Wales is on a mission to prevent homelessness in the U.K., and they met with local charities and young people to see how they're working together to provide pathways to employment, stability and opportunity.
