Kate Middleton, aka the Duchess of Cambridge, has stolen our hearts with her flawless, classic style; her flair for fabulous fascinators; and, of course, the exciting news of her pregnancy. For her latest royal appearance to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the London Underground, aka the tube, Kate chose a teal-hued Malene Birger coat adorned with black embellished piping and a dramatic black fascinator. Along with yesterday's coat look, she has donned some particularly sleek ensembles as of late. See them all here, plus check out some of our other favourite fashion moments from the duchess. From her stunning teal Jenny Packham gown and Issa wrap dresses to her perfect Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen-designed wedding dress and countless tartan-printed coats, it's virtually impossible not to fall a little bit in love with Kate's easy elegance.
Now and Then: Kate Middleton Reworks Her St Patrick's Day Favourite
Kate Middleton has pulled her recycled style trick again, reworking the same Emilia Wickstead coat that she wore for last year's St Patrick's Day festivities for an official military parade in Aldershot yesterday. And why not? The chic topper is the perfect shade of emerald to celebrate the luck of the Irish, and it snugly accommodates her just-visible baby bump. Kate made it fresh by switching her base colour from chocolate to black, layered her trusty overcoat over opaques, a fine-knit turtleneck, gloves and topped off the look with a chic felt headpiece and festive lapel sprig.

Kate Middleton Takes on A New Season Colour Palette, Twice!

We've missed you Kate! It's been a little since we've seen the Duchess out and about, but she's made up for her absence in spades — appearing twice in as many days. Yesterday we saw her in this nifty little burgundy Paule Ka skirt suit for an appearance with Will in central London, and his morning we've been treated to yet another chic ensemble from HRH, with Kate stepping out for the official launch of the National Football Centre in Burton-upon-Trent in this super-sophisticated khaki Reiss coat. Both are classically tailored pieces, but it's her on-trend palette that really impressed us. Ox-blood red and olive make a fabulous, new-season colour combo — and whilst it might feel cold-weather appropriate in Kate's heavy woolens, we think this is still well worth keeping on file for A/W 2013.

Kate Middleton Aces the Prepster Thing in Three Easy Styling Steps
Leave it to Kate Middleton to achieve that classic prepster look without having to go the popped-collar polo route. While she debuted a similar Smythe blazer ensemble Monday, it's yesterday's Olympic equestrian-bound attire that caught our eye. Why? Kate utilized three preppy styling staples — a tailored navy-blue blazer, a striped top, and canvas cork wedges — to perfection, thus proving that an easy combination can instantly strike that nautical-inspired note so essential to cultivating a preppy look.

- To put your own spin on the off-to-the-races-meets-sailing vibe, just employ structured top layers (like a tuxedo-style blazer) with classic separates (stripes being the most obvious choice).
- Stick to a classic colour scheme — neutral tones, navy blues, cherry reds, and of course, crisp whites.
- Rather than opt for a boat shoe a cork wedge or espadrille will round out the outfit nicely.

Now and Then: Kate Middleton Re-Works her Favourite Roksanda Ilincic Dress
You've got to hand it to Catherine Duchess of Cambridge — she really knows how to make a dress work double-duty! HRH has pulled the recycled-frock trick again just last night, re-working this chic grey Roksanda Ilincic sheath that we first saw when the newlyweds toured North America last year. A year on and the draped-neck dress is still Princess-appropriate, but Kate switched her previously day-time styling routine in favour of after-dark glamour. Diamond drop earrings replaced her subtle studs, an embellished clutch took over from her simple cream carry-all and her locks were swept up into a sophisticated up-style. Get a closer look at how Kate flipped the switch on her versatile sheath inside . . .
Too Cute! Kate Middleton Makes An $88 Dress Look A Million Bucks
HOW adorable is Kate Middleton? The Duchess proved that you can be chic and sporty, attending the launch of a sports initiative yesterday with Princes Harry and William at Bacon's College in London. The last time we saw HRH she was label-central wearing a chic ladylike Stella McCartney frock and a Cartier necklace worth a pretty $74,000 — so it was refreshing to see Kate was back to her high street tricks opting, for a fit-and-flare frock from UK chain store Hobbs. The check-print dress retailed originally for (approx) $179, but was recently reduced to a thrifty (approx) $88. Unfortunately, said dress has now sold out — such is Middleton effect! Kate teamed her '50s frock with a neutral woven waist-belt and taupe espadrilles, which she happily kicked off for a judo demonstration.
