The best of British? Tick. Conscious designers? Tick. Vintage Chanel? Tick. So far, Kate Middleton’s wardrobe for her high-profile trip to Boston with Prince William has been hitting all the right notes when it comes to showcasing royal style overseas.
The Princess of Wales landed on US soil (the couple’s first visit in eight years) wearing perhaps her favorite label, Alexander McQueen, adding a sentimental pair of the late Princess Diana’s sapphire earrings and suede Gianvito Rossi heels to her amethyst suit. Since then, we’ve seen the vintage Chanel blazer that has become central to the Princess’s royal wardrobe, a festive flash of Burberry tartan for an Earthshot Prize launch event, and Gabriela Hearst separates for a visit to Boston Harbour.
Perhaps her biggest fashion statement came at the Earthshot Prize Awards at Boston’s MGM Music Hall on Friday night, however, with the Princess choosing to wear a rented dress from Solace London, on loan via the British platform Hurr, with an emerald necklace belonging to Diana, Princess of Wales, for the ceremony.
Below, everything the Princess has worn so far on her US tour.

All swingy hair and Chanel accessories on day two of the Boston trip, the Princess added a ladylike burgundy handbag to a magenta suit (did Kate have the heads up it was going to be named Pantone’s color of the year?), with a pink pussy-bow blouse. Her heels are Gianvito Rossi.

Gabriela Hearst’s conscious approach to design chimes perfectly with Kate’s increasingly conscious approach to curating her wardrobe. She wore cosy knitted Gabriela Hearst separates with brown suede boots and a smart single-breasted coat in the same shade. Classic gold hoops by Daniela Draper finished the outfit.

For a visit to The Center on the Developing Child at Harvard University, the Princess wore a long-sleeved version of Emilia Wickstead’s houndstooth Miles dress with Lenique Louis’ hoop earrings and Mulberry’s Harlow satchel.

In keeping with the eco-friendly theme of the evening, the Princess chose to wear a green dress for the Earthshot Prize ceremony, renting the Solace London design from the platform Hurr. Completing the look: an emerald-and-diamond choker that once belonged to Princess Diana, and Asprey’s Halo Emerald and Diamond Earrings mounted in platinum.
