THE Duchess of Cambridge has nailed her royal wedding look at her first public outing since the birth of Prince Louis last month.
Kate Middleton arrived late to the church, just ahead of the bride, as she was helping manage the bridal party of ten children, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte outside.
She wore a primrose yellow wool silk tailored coat by Alexander McQueen - the same designer she wore for her own wedding in 2011. It was matched with a Philip Treacy hat and shoes by Jimmy Choo.
However style spotters were quick to point out she had worn that outfit before. It was first worn for the christening of Princess Charlotte back in July 2015, and also at the Queen’s birthday celebrations in June 2016. She also wore the coat to the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Passchendaele in Belgium in July last year.

The Duchess stepped into the church just minutes ahead of the bride herself, in a stunning modern Givenchy dress.
The Queen and Prince Philip were also last to arrive before the bride, in keeping with royal protocol that dictates those most senior arrive last.
The Queen wore a flared dress in lime, lemon, purple and grey printed silk by favoured designer Stuart Parvin and entered the church to a fanfare. The Duke wore a morning suit and it’s the first time he’s been spotted in public since a recent hip operation.
Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall wore an ice pink silk marocain asymmetrical coat dress from designer Anna Valentine. Meghan’s mum, Doria Ragland wore a custom dress and day coat designed by creative directors of Oscar de la Renta, Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim.

Prince Harry’s ex-girlfriends Cressida Bonas and Chelsy Davy walked in together, Sky news reported. Chelsy wore a navy blue ensemble with a blue cape and nude heels.
George and Amal Clooney and David and Victoria Beckham arrived within minutes of each other.
