Whether she’s attending an official event or just making a casual public appearance, the Princess of Wales is always admired by royal fans for her unique and elegant fashion choices. On many occasions, she has even been said to resemble iconic figures. For instance, many of Kate Middleton’s looks have been compared to those of the late Princess Diana. Similarly, she turned heads during her appearance at Canterbury Cathedral on Wednesday, when she was accompanying Prince William. As soon as her look went viral, royal watchers were quick to draw comparisons to Hollywood icon Audrey Hepburn.

For the special occasion, Kate opted for a vintage look, stepping out in a beautiful dress coat designed by one of her favorite brands, Suzannah London, as reported by HELLO! Magazine. It featured an iconic double-breasted design, complete with a sharply defined collar. However, the show-stealing element of her outfit was the elegant boater hat designed by Juliette Botterill. The brand has often said this unique design is a perfect blend of timeless charm and modern sophistication.

The royal completed her look with her hair styled in a sleek, woven updo, while her makeup remained natural. This overall look drew comparisons to Hepburn, as both she and Kate are well-known for their timeless elegance and a classic fashion sense that goes beyond modern trends. They also have a natural talent for looking polished without overdoing it. 

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time that Kate has been compared to the legendary actress. A few years ago, she attended an event in a beautiful red dress featuring a classic 1950s A-line structure. At the time, many pointed out that Hepburn famously made the A-line style one of her signature looks, as reported by HELLO Magazine.

As for the recent appearance, at one moment, Kate was seen holding onto her hat as the weather was quite windy. The Princess of Wales also chose to wear some meaningful jewelry pieces at the event, including her Cassandra Goad pearl earrings, which she previously wore at the christening of her youngest son, Prince Louis, in 2018.
