How to narrow
\ndown the Princess of Wales\u2019s fashion hits this year? In between the
\ncountry chic styling, the diplomatic dressing and the elegant pant
\nsuits, there were a trio of state banquets that Catherine used to
\nlevel up her sartorial skills.<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s take a look at some of the Princess of Wales\u2019s biggest
\nstyle moments this year.<\/p>\n

With a trio of state banquets, the future queen knocked it out
\nof the park in stately style. What
\ngives the German state banquet look the edge<\/a> is the tiara
\npairing: choosing Queen Victoria\u2019s Oriental Circlet tiara, a tiara
\nreserved exclusively for queens, added a level of elegance to
\nCatherine\u2019s look, which was already phenomenal thanks to the
\nshimmering blue ombre Jenny Packham cape gown and the diamonds
\ndangling from her earrings and bracelets.<\/p>\n

CATHERINE GOES FOR GIVENCHY AT FRENCH STATE
\nBANQUET<\/strong><\/p>\n

At
\nthe French state banquet in July<\/a>, the Princess of Wales added
\nFrench flair to Emmanuel Macron\u2019s visit by wearing a gown by one of
\nthe most iconic French fashion houses: Givenchy. And an added bonus
\nfor royal watchers: Sarah Burton, her wedding dress designer and
\npreviously the head of Alexander McQueen, is now the creative
\ndesigner for Givenchy.<\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s billowing crimson gown was made of silk creponne
\nwith a caped back and pleats around the neckline and waist; she
\npaired it with the Queen Mary\u2019s Lover\u2019s Knot tiara, her go-to
\nchoice of tiara.<\/p>\n

I love it when Catherine takes a risk or tweaks her usual style,
\nand the Philippa Lepley champagne Chantilly lace evening coat worn
\nover a silk gown at the
\nUS state banquet in September<\/a> was the perfect balance of what
\nwe expect from the future queen and a twist that keeps you talking.
\nThe hand-embroidered Chantilly lace evening coat is stunning,
\nadding a timelessness to the historic nature of the state
\nvisit.<\/p>\n

So simple, so Catherine. This crushed velvet emerald green
\nTalbot Runho gown was perfect for a festive outing like the glitzy
\nRoyal Variety Performance.<\/p>\n

BOLD AND BLUE FOR TROOPING THE COLOUR<\/strong><\/p>\n

What a better start to summer than a bold, refreshing blue? The
\nPrincess of Wales\u2019s
\nSt. Patrick\u2019s Blue<\/a> Catherine Walker coat dress was a great
\nbalance of sleek and regal and sunshine. After a grim 2024, it felt
\nlike Catherine was stepping back into a sartorial spotlight this
\nyear.<\/p>\n

A NAUTICAL NOD TO NAME THE HMS GLASGOW<\/strong><\/p>\n

Catherine became Lady Sponsor of the HMS Glasgow a few years
\nago, and
\nin May<\/a> it was time to attend the naming ceremony for the ship.
\nWith a nod toward the nautical, Catherine\u2019s navy Suzannah London
\ncoat dress with white piping was a perfect outfit, especially
\nagainst the brilliant blue sky.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d love to give a nod to all of the pant suits Catherine wore
\nthis year, but the one that stands out in my mind is the Victoria
\nBeckham olive green pant suit she wore to present the Queen
\nElizabeth II Award for British Design. A pop of trendy colour, a
\nruffle-collared white shirt, and one of Britain\u2019s best fashion
\nbets? A perfect combination.<\/p>\n

BACK TO NATURE FOR THE BEST ANNOUNCEMENT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Catherine\u2019s love of nature is well-documented, and she returned
\nto the forest to share the wonderful news that she\u2019s in remission
\nearlier this year.
\nIn a snap captured by Prince Louis<\/a> on World Cancer Day in
\nFebruary, Catherine is seen in a country walking outfit: hat, long
\ncoat, pants and boots. It\u2019s the perfect reminder that when she
\ndials up the glam, she\u2019s playing on a level few occupy, but when
\nshe\u2019s in her element, she truly shines.<\/p>\n

As Catherine prepares for her future role, it\u2019s plain to see
\nthat her styling is becoming all the more regal. May it continue in
\n2026!<\/p>\n
