Princess Kate is magnificent in a vintage five-strand pearl necklace
Kate and husband Prince William were amongst the senior royals who attended the annual Commonwealth Day service ceremony at Westminster Abbey in London today—the family’s largest public reunion since Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s arrest.

For the occasion, Kate and Wills coordinated in polished royal-blue ensembles—a romantic gesture as they made their way to their famous 2011 wedding venue.

The princess looked incredible in a structured Catherine Walker coatdress and a matching hat. The long, double-breasted coat had sharp shoulders, a pointy collar, and pleats that ran from the bodice to the hem, creating the illusion of a skirt. To match, she wore a wide-brim hat with a sweet bow and a net overlay. A crocodile leather clutch from Strathberry and classic pumps in the same shade completed the monochrome moment.

But it was her jewelry what added true meaning to the regal ensemble. Kate honored the late Queen Elizabeth II by wearing the beloved monarch’s Bahrain pearl drop earrings. Kate often pulls out the lovely pieces for important occasions, and this time, she paired them with her five-strand pearl necklace from vintage jeweler Susan Caplan. The final touch? Her sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring from William, which once belonged to his mother, Princess Diana.

We can always count on Kate to deliver a timeless, impressively sophisticated look riddled with symbolism. And next to her, William looked dapper as ever in a navy suit, which he wore with a white shirt, blue tie, and black dress shoes—plus his signature scruff.
