Kate Middleton Wears 3 Lookalike Outfits: Inside the Meaning

Kate Middleton is rocking a familiar look.
When the Princess of Wales, 43, visited a prison’s mothers and babies unit on Feb. 11, she wore an outfit that appeared, at first glance, to be a rewear of a distinctive look she wore exactly four weeks ago. While the colors were identical and the bespoke tartan Blaze Milano coat the same, on closer inspection, the outfit she wore to the prison was subtly different from the look she wore at the Royal Marsden Hospital on Jan. 14.
Wearing a chocolate brown knitted skirt from Sezane with a dark burgundy turtleneck, Kate accessorized the look with a pair of brown suede slouchy boots from Gianvito Rossi and vintage gold and pearl earrings. The Naelle skirt (currently on sale) is the same one she wore in cream on a visit to Nottingham in 2023.

The look is one of many that the royal has worn so far this year which seem to reflect a less-is-more attitude when it comes to her styling choices. Gone are the vibrant pantsuits we saw back in 2023 — instead, the Princess of Wales has kicked off 2025 with a trio of brown and black outfits, often removing her statement sapphire engagement ring and replacing it with a stack of eternity bands.
“This is the first time I have seen her dress in this way,” Petar Petrov, the designer of the brown blazer Kate wore to the National Portrait Gallery on Feb. 4, tells PEOPLE. “I appreciate it because it feels like she is a real person, and that’s appealing. She looks modern and fresh!”
Under the brown blazer, she wore a black turtleneck sweater with pinstripe smart trousers from Maxmara, a much more understated look for the royal.
“A similar thing happened with Gwyneth Paltrow when she became known for this ‘quiet luxury,’ ” says the Ukranian-born designer. “Sometimes when you don’t try so hard to look important, people react more because it’s effortless but in such a surprising way, and then it goes viral.”

The recycled plaid coat and lookalike outfit on Feb. 11 came hours after Kensington Palace released a rare statement clarifying that comments in a Feb. 1 Sunday Times article — which claimed that there was concern about Kate’s style overshadowing her charity work — were from a palace spokesperson rather than the Princess of Wales. The same article stated that the palace would no longer be releasing details of Kate’s day-to-day engagements.
“I think there will always be people talking about her clothes, whether she likes it or not because she has such good taste, people look to her for inspiration,” says Petrov, who experienced the famous “Kate Effect” when the blazer sold out within 24 hours of the royal wearing it, only for it to be re-stocked and sell out again 48 hours later.
It’s a sentiment shared by Susan Kelley, the founder of the first-ever style blog dedicated to Kate’s clothing choices.
“It’s understandable that the Princess would like the emphasis to be on her work and not her fashion, and that’s a conundrum many women face, especially women in high-profile positions,” Kelley tells PEOPLE.

While the Princess of Wales has always been a fan of rewears and even upcycles some of her red carpet outfits (most noticeably at the BAFTAS, which neither Kate nor Prince William will be attending on Sunday), it’s not often that Kate repeats a coat or any item of clothing within the same four-week period.
The bespoke double-breasted tailored coat was first spotted on Christmas Day in 2021. Known for their classic but contemporary designs with a hint of glamour, Blaze Milano was founded by designers Corrada Rodriguez d’Acri, Delfina Pinardi and Maria Sole Torlonia in 2013 and are worn by many Hollywood actresses such as Julianne Moore and Jessica Chastain.

Despite the recent controversy and backlash over the palace’s comments, Kelley says she has no sense of concern from the style blogging community, all of whom regularly identify Princess Kate’s outfits independently, without any assistance from the palace.
“The reality is that people have an interest in the Princess’ style, and that is not something Kensington Palace or anyone else can control,” she says. “People are going to seek out the information by various means.”

Oprah’s Roomy Cargo Pants Are a Go-To Fall Style
:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():format(jpeg)/oprahs-big-pocket-cargo-pants-5a1e945a3e654a8596b7bc3da4cbbd18.jpg)
Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.
Oprah Winfrey is committed to cargo pants, so it’s obvious I have to break up with my boring pocketless pants as soon as possible.
Last fall in New York City, the media mogul wore a pair of big-pocket pants (a style she’s worn before) that prompted a light-bulb realization: I fear I have not given cargos a fighting chance. And for what? Boring pants that only have hidden pockets, or, in many cases, faux ones that can’t even stash a phone.
Not long before Oprah showed off her brown cargos, Gwyneth Paltrow wore a navy blue pair with a cropped trench coat. That gives me another reason to feel confident about trying this offbeat pants style.

The rest of Oprah’s look was grand, too: Her purple sweater was ideal for fall thanks to its three-quarter sleeves, plus her comfy sneakers finished it with polished comfort (she also wore heels with the outfit at another point in the day, but let’s keep it casual). We rounded up similar big-pocket pants, sweaters, and kicks inspired by the TV icon.

When I use regular pockets, I’m super careful because, most of the time, they’re not deep enough, so things tend to fall out when I’m sitting. In other words, they’re not that secure, and that’s why I’m picking out pants with pockets that have more room or more compartments.
These from Amazon are “very durable” and “silky” to the touch, per the reviews. Also, according to one shopper who wore them while hiking, “The pockets were big enough to hold my phone and Chapstick, so I didn’t have to carry a big bag.” They also have drawstring cuffs, so you can tie them up if you don’t want to dirty them when walking around outdoors.
Liyohon Turtleneck Top
Amazon
I can’t stand feeling like an overstuffed burrito with a thick sweater packed into an even thicker coat in the fall or winter. So, I usually choose thinner layers, but I want them to keep me at least a little warm. This turtleneck “feels more like a light sweater than a T-shirt,” according to one shopper, and it has been worn under dresses and blazers, per many others.
The purple shade here is a little lighter than Oprah’s, but the three-quarter-length sleeves are, in my opinion, the most important thing to focus on here.

Oprah also pulled a sneaky move when she did a little shoe change. We don’t know which pair came first — heels or sneakers — but I personally am a “go comfortable or go home” shoe gal, so I’m choosing option B.
In my book, suede makes anything more fall-worthy, but it can be tricky on shoes. I don’t want to have to spritz a protectant spray all over, so a pair with just a little bit of the soft texture feels easier to manage long term. The soles on these look serrated like Oprah’s, which make me believe that they’d be incredibly grippy.

Karlie Kloss welcomes third baby with husband Joshua Kushner

Karlie Kloss’ brood just got bigger.
The model has given birth to her and husband Joshua Kushner’s third baby — a girl. Kushner announced the news via Instagram Saturday by posting a photo of the newborn and revealing her name: “Rae Florence 9.18.2025 🤍.”
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel announced her pregnancy news in a March Instagram post debuting her bump.
“Three’s a party 🥹🫶🎉,” Kloss wrote at the time.
The caption referenced her and Kushner’s eldest two children — sons Levi and Elijah — who appeared in the social media upload.
Levi was born in March 2021, followed by Elijah in July 2023.
While awaiting baby No. 3, Kloss continued to show off her budding belly at the Met Gala, WNBA games and more events.
She rocked a black off-the-shoulder gown to ring in Kushner’s 40th birthday at a star-studded bash in June.
“I have loved growing up together, and can’t wait to grow old together,” Kloss captioned a celebratory tribute to the “love of [her] life and best friend” via Instagram.
The Kode With Klossy founder and Kushner have been together since 2012.
The businessman got down on one knee in July 2018, and the duo walked down the aisle in upstate New York three months post-proposal.
The duo went on to have a second wedding ceremony in Wyoming in 2019.
Although the pair primarily keep their romance out of the public eye over the years, Kloss insisted to Net-a-Porter in 2018 that they “have nothing to hide.”
In May, she explained to “Aspire” podcast listeners that their “partnership is so solid” because they met when she was a teenager.
“We’ve grown up together,” Kloss gushed. “He’s always been my biggest champion.”

Prince Harry Made Secret Visit to Another Member of Royal Family During U.K. Trip

NEED TO KNOW
- Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a secret visit to another member of the royal family
- According to Hello!, Harry visited Kensington Palace to pay his respects to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent
- Harry “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues” during his trip to Britain, a source said
Prince Harry’s four-day visit to the U.K. included a reunion with his father, King Charles, after nearly two years, as well as a secret visit to another member of the royal family.
According to a report from Hello! published on Saturday, Sept. 20, Harry, 41, privately visited Kensington Palace to “personally pay his respects and offer condolences” to Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent, following the death of his wife, Katharine, the Duchess of Kent. She died on Sept. 4 at the age of 92.
Although Harry was not able to attend Katharine’s funeral on Sept. 16, as he had already left the U.K., a source close to the Duke of Sussex told the outlet that he “loved catching up with family, friends and colleagues.”
“His only regret was not being able to stay longer and see more people, but the meetings in Ukraine had been in the diary for a long time, and it mattered to him to be there in person to see the Invictus Games Foundation’s growing work and the progress at Superhumans,” the source added.
“The whole trip felt like a real success for everyone involved,” the source said. “His passion for his patronages and the causes he cares about hasn’t dimmed one bit — he’s already buzzing to get back and do more.”

The Duke of Sussex made several public appearances during his U.K. trip, including at the WellChild Awards in London on Sept. 8, where he crouched to greet children, wrapped families in hugs and cracked jokes. In Nottingham the next day, he danced into a room at the Community Recording Studio (CRS), laughing and bantering with young activists.
“He’s still the same person,” said CRS’s Trevor Rose. “He wants to feel the energy here. He cares — and that’s the main thing.”

One of the most newsworthy moments came when Harry arrived at Clarence House on Sept. 10, and disappeared inside for a long-awaited, private meeting with King Charles. He emerged just under one hour later — and experts were quick to point out that this visit could be the first step on the road to reconciliation with his father.
“It’s a massive step in the right direction,” Queen Elizabeth’s former spokeswoman Ailsa Anderson told PEOPLE following the historic meeting. “It’s a building of trust.”

Harry and the King, 76, have been estranged for more than 18 months. As PEOPLE previously reported, the meeting not only served as a chance for the Duke of Sussex to rekindle his relationship with his father, but also with his brother, Prince William.
While the encounter marked a hopeful step forward, royal insiders caution that a long road lies ahead before full reconciliation can take place.
“It shows the way forward,” an insider with ties to both sides told PEOPLE. “It is a good starting point.”
Just a few days after the meeting, Harry made a surprise visit to Kyiv, Ukraine, with his Invictus Games Foundation and spoke with The Guardian while there.
“The focus really has to be on my dad,” he said, while also acknowledging his past revelations in interviews and his memoir Spare. “My conscience is clear.”
When asked if he will ever bring his children to the U.K. despite his security concerns, Harry told the outlet, “Yes, I would. This week has definitely brought that closer.”
“Whatever has gone on in the past, it is good to see the family trying to repair itself or communicate at least,” a source with close ties to the palace added to PEOPLE. “Everyone has to have compassion for all sides.”
After visiting the U.K. and Ukraine, Harry returned to Montecito, Calif., to be with wife Meghan Markle and their children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. On Saturday, Sept. 20, Meghan, 44, and Harry stepped out together to the One805LIVE! concert, which supports Santa Barbara County’s first responders and was held at Kevin Costner‘s oceanside estate in California.
