This isn't the first time that the Princess has worn this style. In fact, this style of tuxedo suit for royal engagements has become a classic look for Catherine. 

Kate Middleton wore a super sleek navy trouser suit and Princess Diana's sapphire earrings for US trip to Boston in December 2022. The Princess wore this look as she stepped off the plane and showed that she meant business on this trip. On this occasion, Kate paired her navy suit with a chic roll-neck jumper and court shoe heels from Gianvito Rossi. The turtleneck sweater was the perfect look to modernize and feminine this suit look while keeping warm in the cool Boston weather.

Similarly, for a royal engagement in London on January 19, 2023, Kate Middleton wore the slickest trouser suit in a dark berry burgundy color that was the perfect look to add a splash of color to an otherwise formal look. The Princess paired this look with a white knitted crew neck jumper that was form-fitting and tucked perfectly into Kate's suit look.

These three recent looks show that Kate has a newfound penchant for wearing blazers and suits when she is attending royal engagements. However, the range of shirts, tops, and jumpers that she wears underneath the suits, plus the variety of suit colors, demonstrate that she is still adding a unique fashion twist to a typical pant-suit look.
