Queen Mary gave us the ultimate autumn outfit inspiration back in 2019 when she stepped out in a gorgeous tartan midi skirt, pairing the piece with a turtleneck jumper and some burgundy heels to create a cosy and chic autumnal outfit.

Flattering denim jeans, winter boots, and cosy jackets are staples of every autumn capsule wardrobe. But celebrities are increasingly showing us that pieces we might have ignored through the cooler months are actually perfect for autumn, from Jennifer Aniston's high-neck maxi dress to Amal Clooney's butter yellow gown.

Cherry reds and burgundy shades are always on trend through the cooler months, with not only red clothes but also red hair trending as soon as we hit autumn. We also start to see more autumnal makeup looks, with deep, vampy lipsticks and rich smokey eyeshadow looks replacing the natural no makeup makeup looks of summer.

Recreating Queen Mary's look, a deep red lipstick would really bring the outfit together, as would adding burgundy accessories or a flattering winter coat in the same rich shade.
