Royal experts say Kate Middleton made a “super smart move” while attending Christmas day church service at Sandringham. While walking to St Mary Magdalene Church on the Norfolk estate, the Princess of Wales wore royal blue for the first time at Christmas, having previously worn tartan coats, green ensembles and festive red outfits.
And royal fashion expert Sian Clarke said on Instagram that the outfit was a great choice.
She said: “Princess Kate looks as chic as ever and I think it’s a super smart move to wear navy over the traditional red or green.
“Navy is a contemporary wardrobe staple and as someone who has such a public-facing role, it will be an immediate crowd-pleaser. I imagine many people will be recreating her look.
“Monochromatic navy reflects her natural poise and elegance and moves traditional dress forward whilst sticking to her classic style.”
Ms Clarke said the outfit was perfect for the busy and stressful Christmas period as it creates a feeling of calm.
She added: “Blue releases oxytocin into our systems when we wear and see the colour. It reflects calm. The calmer we feel, the better communication we have and it helps build, strengthen and improve relationships.
“Blue is the colour of communication and I couldn’t have chosen a better colour for Princess Kate to wear myself.
“Through her outfit, Princess Kate is giving us a message of calm and strength on Christmas Day which also reflects her role of HRH. Iconic.”
As Kate continues to follow in the late Queen Elizabeth II’s footsteps experts predict she will wear bolder outfits wearing a rainbow of colours in 2024.
