Kate Middleton has been gradually returning to her public duties, and her latest ensemble is a real fashion statement. Joining the British Fashion Council to present the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design, Kate wowed in an olive green tailored suit from none other than British icon, Victoria Beckham.
In a departure from some of her previous Claudia Winkleman-inspired Highlands outfits, Princess Kate is truly flaunting her style credentials. The Wool-Blend Blazer is priced at £850 and is made from a premium blend of wool and polyester.
It features sharp padded shoulders, a classic chest pocket, and smart front flap pockets, this single-breasted blazer is a masterclass in classic tailoring.
It pairs perfectly with the matching trousers, priced at £490. They sit high on the waist and feature utility-style patch pockets at the front and back, adding a slightly edgier finish to the polished look.

The trousers are finished with a discreet hook and zip fly, providing a more modern take on the classic power suit, reports the Mirror.
Kate kept the entire look polished and stylish by teaming the olive suit with a statement ruffle blouse, brown heels, and some minimalist jewellery. Of course, topped off with her signature glossy waves and flawless makeup, the suit was left to do all the talking.
Kate is certainly flying the flag for British fashion with this Victoria Beckham ensemble, embracing soft tailoring and the trending ‘quiet luxury’ look.
With a price tag of over £1k for the full suit, it’s definitely on the luxurious side, but if you’re looking to recreate Kate’s style for less, we’ve found some alternatives:

This Reiss blazer is a slightly deeper khaki shade than the Victoria Beckham or Karen Millen suits, but with its strong peak lapels and padded shoulders, it delivers the same power dressing vibes as Kate’s outfit. Whether you’re off to the office, a dinner date or simply want to spruce up your wardrobe staples, this blazer will do all the heavy lifting for you.
