Kate Middleton nods to Princess Diana in nautical outfit at ship christening

Ahoy, Katey.

Kate Middleton looked just like her late mother-in-law at a ship christening in Scotland on Thursday.

While visiting the HMS Glasgow, the Princess of Wales wore a nautical-chic Suzannah London coat dress ($2,495) that called to mind a similar outfit Princess Diana donned in 1993.

Worn for a Battle of the Atlantic service in Liverpool with then-Prince Charles, the late royal’s likeminded navy-and-white look was designed by Catherine Walker.

Middleton accessorized with an oversized Philip Treacy hat, Emmy London purse ($525), Gianvito Rossi nude pumps and a double dose of Diana’s jewelry, including her famous blue sapphire-and-diamond engagement ring and a matching pair of drop earrings.

The stunning set features two large cabochon sapphires surrounded by a halo of diamonds and was last worn by Diana on the cover of British Vogue’s July 1994 issue.

Kate first wore the special earrings at the 2022 Trooping the Colour parade during the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations, pairing them with a similar navy-and-white hat and an all-white suit.

The public outing comes after Middleton’s appearance at the Royal Garden Party earlier this week, where she looked cheery in a butter yellow Emilia Wickstead dress and matching hat.

She wore a different pair of sentimental earrings for that occasion, choosing the diamond drop style from her 2011 wedding to Prince William.

Earlier this month, the princess selected a different set of earrings that once belonged to Princess Diana for a VE Day service.

Kate has been back in the public eye for multiple royal engagements after recovering from her cancer treatment and missing most of the 2024 engagements she typically attends.

We can’t wait to see what else the Princess of Wales wears this year.
