Princess Charlene Ends Her Suit Streak in Another Princess Kate-Approved Outfit That's Perfect for the Holidays
'Tis the season.
Princess Charlene may have spent the past few months proving that—much like Princess Kate—she’s one of the undisputed queens of the trouser suit, but she switched gears for her latest appearance. While meeting with the president of Portugal on Friday, November 21, she debuted a tailored green coat dress that felt distinctly Princess of Walescoded.
Per Instagram account Royal Fashion Daily, the Monégasque royal chose the Kalonice coat dress by one of the Princess of Wales's longtime favorite brands, Emilia Wickstead, pairing it with a matching green satin hat by Philip Treacy. Duchess Sophie is also a fan of the design, owning the same coat in a pale blue shade.
The midi-length coat dress featured a matching belt and flap pockets, and she paired it with a pair of nude Louis Vuitton pumps while posing for pictures with President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. But once they headed outside the palace, Charlene switched her shoes for a black pair, also by Louis Vuitton, covering her emerald green outfit with a long black coat.
