Picking a festive yet chic outfit for a Christmas party can be a challenge, but leave it to Kate Middleton to show us how it's done.
On Tuesday, the duchessattended a Christmas party for Royal Air Force families at Kensington Palace. Her outfit for the event was one of her most festive looks yet.
Middleton wore a $1,112 pleated mid-calf length skirt by Emilia Wickstead with a red tartan pattern. She paired the skirt with a £209 ($266.55 USD) black cropped cashmere cardigan by Brora . A pair of black heeled boots completed the look.
Prince William was at her side in a light-blue, quarter-zip sweater, which he paired with dark-blue trousers and dark-brown shoes.
The party appeared to be a rather relaxed and festive occasion. The Daily Mail's royal correspondent Rebecca English shared a video of the couple engaging in a brief snowball fight near the party's snow machine.
