Kate Middleton arrives at Westminster Abbey carol service in a seen-before red wool coat that she’s elevated with a trendy bow accessory – perfect inspiration for your next Christmas outfit
Earlier today, Kate Middleton arrived at Westminster Abbey in a stunning red coat, which she has reached several times before. But this year, she’s spruced up the recycled fit with an on-trend black bow, which is the perfect inspiration for your next Christmas look.
Although the Duchess’ exact ensemble is her trusty Alexander McQueen maxi, we’ve found the perfect alternatives to replicate Kate’s look without needing a Royal budget – with pieces that will emulate the same festive cheer ready for any occasion this December.

Starting with the coat, while most of us won’t easily get the exact designer item, this red wool maxi coat from Karen Millen is the ideal crown jewel to match Kate’s carol-service look.
Currently available in sizes 6 to 14, this Italian Wool Double-breasted tailored Maxi Coat matches the style of Kate’s frequently worn Alexander McQueen coat. It has the same tailored fit and military-esque detailing without the designer price tag. This Christmas-red piece is currently up for grabs for £429.
But if you’re seeking a slightly smaller budget, Nobody’s Child offers this Red Double-breasted Wool Blend Coat, which gets as many points for similarity, at the reduced price of £130 in this sale.
To steal the same on-vogue accessory Kate has used to jazz up her go-to coat, Marks and Spencers has the perfect top for all festive parties on the horizon. It boasts the same large bow accessory Kate has opted for this year. Retailing for £69, you may want to hurry, as this gem is selling out quickly.
For those keen on versatility, Amazon has an array of affordable bow accessories that can seamlessly be added to this look to match Kate’s style.
Ever fashionable, the Duchess can be seen wearing her trusted Ralph Lauren Black Suede High Heel Boots, which she has worn with this look before. However, the boots are no longer available directly from Ralph Lauren. If you’re happy to ditch the suede, you can get a similar design in a leather finish for £1514.
For those seeking alternatives that don’t have such a steep price tag, L.K Bennett is offering these Black Suede Slouchy Knee-High Boots for £449. Or, if you’re keen to copy Kate’s look for less still, Marks and Spencer have these Stiletto Heel Knee-High Boots for £79.
