When the Princess of Wales stepped out in a regal burgundy outfit to greet President Trump during his arrival at Windsor yesterday, the fashion crowd took note. Kate wore a stunning Emilia Wickstead coat dress, paired with a Jane Taylor hat, Gianvito Rossi 105 pumps, and a matching Chanel bag.
While the exact cost of the entire ensemble is not confirmed, it is safe to say it would have run well into the four figures. A near-identical Emilia Wickstead coat dress is currently listed on the brand's website for £2,200.
