Kate Middleton and Prince William are visiting Blackpool today to take a about investment and regeneration projects in the seaside resort town. They'll visit Blackpool Tower to attend separate roundtable discussions about mental health, but in the meantime, we just got a look at Kate's awesome outfit. The weather was a bit dreary (so, typical for England) but Kate livened up the event in a gorgeous olive outfit.

Kate will be visiting Blackpool Tower, which is one of the UK's most famous landmarks. Kate was almost in head-to-toe olive with a Sportsmax green coat (opens in new tab) with the CUTEST matching green Manu Atelier clutch. Apparently she's got a Michael Kors dress (opens in new tab) on underneath—and we saw a glimpse of it, below. It'll be a busy day for the two royals, so we'll likely see more.

You can juuuust see the bottom of the skirt peeking out, but we'll update this post if there's a look at the outfit underneath. Update: here it is! It almost looks like abstract peacock feathers and matches perfectly with the jacket and clutch.
