Does Kate Middleton ever not look fabulous? In March 2017, the Duchess of Cambridge was spotted with her husband, Prince William, touring Paris.
The duo visited the Les Invalides military hospital to spend time with the survivors of the Nice and Bataclan attacks, where they were met by several adorable children who presented them with flowers and handshakes.

Kate gave a respectful nod to the most popular French fashion house in a lovely Chanel ensemble.
Her bespoke Chanel tweed coat dress was punctuated with a black Chanel belt and a Chanel handbag featuring lovely carving details on its gold enamel handle and emblem. The gorgeous purse is from the brand’s Fall/Winter 2016 Collection and has a retail price of around $4,600.
Kate Middleton’s Tod’s fringed leather pumps in burgundy are a standout in her footwear collection, prized for their elegant yet practical design. Crafted from rich calfskin leather in a deep burgundy (“Eggplant/Cherry”), the pumps feature a chunky block heel, fringe detailing, a gold-tone buckle, and Tod’s signature pebbled sole for comfort and durability.

To complete the sophisticated look, Kate added a couple of pieces of Cartier jewelry from the Trinity Collection.
She also wore one of her favorite pairs of block-heeled shoes from Tod’s, which looked to be practical and comfortable for walking. Prince William also looked dapper in his well-tailored navy suit and maroon tie, which matched Kate’s purse.
Kate Middleton’s Garrard sapphire and diamond engagement ring is more than a piece of jewelry—it’s a symbol of love, legacy, and royal tradition. From its origins, inspired by Queen Victoria’s brooch, to its journey from Diana to Kate, the ring carries profound emotional and historical significance.

It featured a structured silhouette with a round neckline, long sleeves, and a knee-length hem, exuding timeless sophistication. The coat featured Chanel’s iconic embellishments, including decorative buttons and subtle chain detailing, with a pearl brooch at the neckline for added elegance.
