Princess Charlene may have spent the past few months proving that—much like Princess Kate—she’s one of the undisputed queens of the trouser suit, but she switched gears for her latest appearance. While meeting with the president of Portugal on Friday, November 21, she debuted a tailored green coat dress that felt distinctly Princess of Wales–coded.
Per Instagram account Royal Fashion Daily, the Monégasque royal chose the Kalonice coat dress by one of the Princess of Wales's longtime favorite brands, Emilia Wickstead, pairing it with a matching green satin hat by Philip Treacy. Duchess Sophie is also a fan of the design, owning the same coat in a pale blue shade.
The midi-length coat dress featured a matching belt and flap pockets, and she paired it with a pair of nude Louis Vuitton pumps while posing for pictures with President Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. But once they headed outside the palace, Charlene switched her shoes for a black pair, also by Louis Vuitton, covering her emerald green outfit with a long black coat.
Princess Charlene accessorized with a pair of Cartier diamond drop earrings featuring gray Tahitian pearls, wearing her hair pulled back in an elegant updo.
Charlene's Christmas-ready green coat follows the forest green velvet gown the Princess of Wales wore to last week's Royal Variety Performance in London on November 19. Kate chose a Talbot Runhof creation for her date night with Prince William, pairing it with the diamond earrings Queen Elizabeth received as a wedding gift in 1947.
On the same evening, Princess Charlene also had a red carpet moment, joining husband Prince Albert at the Monaco National Day Gala in a shimmering long-sleeved Armani Privé gown.
Along with her new ivory dress, Charlene wowed fans by wearing the same diamond tiara she wore for her 2011 wedding ball to the National Day gala, pairing the ocean-spray themed design with diamond earrings.
Earlier in the day, the princess wore another Kate-esque outfit, pairing an ivory Armani trouser suit with a white ruffled blouse similar to the one the Princess of Wales wore with a gray suit on November 18.
