The Princess of Wales has always been a fan of a timeless, immaculately tailored blazer. Look, there she is in a pin-striped blazer from Blazé Milano, and there she is in a tweed blazer from Ralph Lauren. In fact, in the past, we’ve even gone so far as to rate all of her best blazers—although that was in 2023, so I’m sure there are many more.
Kate Middleton’s latest addition to the blazer collection? A sharp-shouldered black number, paired with a ruffled collarless shirt and high-waisted suit trousers, with some smoky eye make-up to top things off.

The princess was in the crowd at the Brighton & Hove Albion Stadium where she was cheering on the England team in their game against Australia for the Women’s Rugby World Cup. England ended up beating Australia in a 47-7 victory, which probably accounts for Kate’s rapturous expression. “Wishing the Red Roses the very best as they kick off their Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign tonight,” she posted ahead of the campaign. “I look forward to cheering you on and seeing the team rise to the challenge on home soil!”
The rugby trip marks Kate’s second appearance since going blonde (or at least, you know, relatively blonde) for autumn. This time, she wore her hair tied back in a slight bouffant style that gave me flashbacks to the preppy uni style of the Noughties (although her version looks a lot chicer than all that). Who knew that going to the rugby could be such a dapper affair?
