Kate Middleton put a fresh spin on a recycled coatdress with new accessories for an Easter service
- The royal family attended an Easter service at Windsor Castle on Sunday.
- Prince William and Kate Middleton dressed their family in coordinating blue outfits.
Kate Middleton wore a monochromatic look for her first Easter as the Princess of Wales.
On Sunday, members of the royal family gathered at Windsor Castle for an Easter service, honoring a tradition long observed by the late Queen Elizabeth.
All of the late Queen's children attended the event, from King Charles III to Prince Andrew, as did several of her grandchildren, including Prince William, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie.
William and Kate brought their three children — Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4 — with them to the service, marking a rare public appearance for their youngest child.
For their first Easter service since becoming the Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate dressed their entire family in coordinating shades of blue.
William and George wore navy-blue suits, while Louis wore a blazer with light-blue shorts. Charlotte paired a floral dress with a navy coat and light-blue tights.
And Kate chose one of her signature coatdresses for the event: a royal-blue Catherine Walker piece.
She paired the statement dress with a matching hat from Lock & Co. Hatters that featured an oversized bow, as well as a blue clutch, all of which matched her sapphire engagement ring from Prince William. Nude pumps completed the look.
The coatdress is one of many looks the Princess of Wales has reworn in recent years.
She previously wore the dress to the 2022 Commonwealth Day service, pairing it with a sapphire necklace and earrings from Princess Diana's collection, according to People.
She also wore a different hat from Lock & Co. with a bow on the back, and she carried a black purse and wore dark-blue heels.
The all-blue look appeared to nod to support for Ukraine when Kate wore it in 2022, both because the hue is one of the colors on Ukraine's flag and because she previously wore the jewelry when she met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife, Olena Zelenska, in October 2020, as People reported.
The royal family's group appearance for the 2023 Easter service came less than a month before King Charles' coronation on May 6.
