After seeing Kate Middleton and Prince William make their way into The Carlyle hotel Sunday evening, and then to a private dinner shortly afterward, we had high hopes for the duchess’s first daytime outfit. After all, she strolled the streets of New York in a glittering Seraphine coat and an Amara lace Beulah London cocktail dress ($797) – both of which ensured us she had packed a very stylish wardrobe in her suitcase.
Of course, when the duchess traveled to a child development center in Harlem to meet with First Lady of NY, Chirlane McCray, we swooned over her sophisticated Washington coat dress by Goat ($835). From its demure A-line silhouette to its nude contrast button detail on the sleeves and back, the design fit in perfectly with Kate’s signature style – but it also stayed true to the classic, all-black palette favored by so many New Yorkers.
Yes, even though Prince William will stay by her side during the royal couple’s US trip, you can be sure Kate will be the one standing out – and we can’t say we’re surprised since she has the very best accessory: a growing baby bump! Scroll down to get the details on everything Kate and William have worn in NY so far, and stay tuned for the next appearance from the impossibly chic pair.
