Princess Kate has made an unexpected U-turn in her fashion choices after sending a message to Victoria Beckham.
The Princess of Wales made a glamorous appearance at the HMS Glasgow naming ceremony in Scotland on Thursday.
The 43-year-old royal wore a £1,850 navy blue coat dress by Suzannah London, marking a notable departure from her recent trouser suit looks.
For most of her day-to-day engagements this year, Kate has worn smart trouser suits, including an outing to the 180 Studios last week.
During this engagement, the mother-of-three presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design whilst wearing a Victoria Beckham design.
By wearing this design, many believed the Princess of Wales was sending a message of support to Posh Spice.
Princess Kate also wore a trouser suit to the National Portrait Gallery for a royal outing in February.
On Thursday, the Princess of Wales arrived at BAE Systems’ shipyard in Scotstoun, Glasgow, alongside her husband, Prince William.
The 43-year-old radiated elegance in the fitted navy ensemble. The coat dress featured distinctive nautical elements perfectly suited to the maritime occasion.
A crisp white stripe ran down the middle of the garment, with matching detailing on the pockets.
The Princess’s choice of a structured coat dress represents a notable shift from her recent fashion preferences.
Kate has been deliberately opting for more understated looks in recent times, with this glamorous appearance marking a U-turn for the Princess.

The Princess’s return to a more formal silhouette was particularly notable, with the fitted dress showcasing her sophisticated style sensibilities.
