In case you needed a reminder that the Princess of Wales represents a new vanguard of the British royal family, please take note of her latest outfit.

Kate has quietly been undergoing a wardrobe transformation since she became Princess of Wales last year. While her style was formerly often marked by her affinity for coatdresses and midi-length silhouettes, she took a sartorial U-turn in the middle of this year, and instead began mostly relying on a rotation of bold, monochromatic suits. She cemented this modern, sleeker style era with tonight’s appearance at Royal Carols: Together at Christmas, her tentpole end-of-year winter holiday event at Westminster Abbey. Suffice to say, there wasn’t a coatdress in sight.

Instead, Kate went for winter white monochrome via a head-to-toe ivory look. This included a long white coat, which she layered over a plain ivory blouse tucked into matching high-waisted wide-leg trousers accented with gold buttons from Holland Cooper. For shoes, she wore her go-to suede stiletto pumps in a creamy-alm0st-beige shade. She capped off the outfit with a handful of other monochromatic accessories, like a small Strathberry leather bag and Van Cleef & Arpels drop earrings.

At the event, Kate was accompanied by her family: husband Prince William and their three children, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, and Prince Louis, five.

This year marks the third in a row that Kate has hosted a community carol service at Westminster Abbey. Along with the princess’s Shaping Us campaign, this year’s festivities will put the spotlight on early childhood development, one of Kate’s signature causes.
