Kate Middleton's Remembrance Service Style: See All Her Hairstyles and Looks from Over the Years

2011

Making her Remembrance Day debut, Kate opted for a black hat with a bow to one side for the solemn ceremony, during which the royal family honors those who lost their lives in war.

She would go on to recycle the fashionable headpiece in 2014. She also had on the same jacket she wore in 2012 and 2016.

2012

In her second-ever Remembrance Sunday as a royal, Kate, who has always been a fan of the royal rewear, wore the same black jacket with a textured collar she would go on to wear again in 2016.

This time around though, Kate decided to wear her hair down and opt for a larger black hat, which she wore again in 2017.

2013

For her first Remembrance Day after becoming a mother, Kate chose a black coat that was nipped in at the waist with a row of black buttons down the middle, starting all the way up at the neck.

The royal mom wore her hair down, completing the look with a black hat with a stylized black flower on one side.

2014

In 2014, Kate went with a double-breasted black coat with an angular lapel. Wearing her hair down again, the royal mom capped things off with a previously worn black hat and accessorized with round earrings.

2015

Months after welcoming daughter Princess Charlotte in 2015, Kate wore an elegant black coat with velvet details throughout, including around the collar, shoulders and sleeves.

Keeping her hair tucked behind her ears, the new mom accessorized the look with a simple pair of pearl earrings and a round veiled hat with a stylized bow on the back.

2016

In 2016, Kate opted for an elegant updo, with her hair arranged towards one side of her head.

Donning a partially upturned black hat, the royal wore a black jacket with two lines of black buttons and oversized collar. Kate also wore a pair of delicate earrings that she would return to in 2019.

2017

Kate, who debuted a new, shorter hairstyle that summer, made her cut look even shorter in 2017, as she pinned her locks so that her hair fell just above her shoulders.

To complement the chic look, the royal mom wore a wide-brimmed black hat as well as a black coat with golden buttons down the front and gold earrings. The purse she carried for the day was also black and gold.

2018

Kate sported a black Alexander McQueen coat with a white collar and red embellishments on the shoulders when she attended the service in 2018, which marked her sister-in-law Meghan Markle's first Remembrance Sunday as a royal.

Opting to pull her hair back and away from her face, Kate finished her look with a round black hat and a pair of cream-colored earrings.

2019

The royal opted for a military-inspired look in 2019.

She wore a form-fitting black zip-up coat with military-style embellishments across her chest.

Kate pulled her hair back into an elegant up-do and wore a veiled black hat. She completed the look with a pair of earrings as well as the customary red poppy pin, the symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives in conflicts.

2020

Kate chose a tailored black coat with large buttons and fringe details on the shoulders with a fascinator in 2020.

Her three poppy pin is believed to be in honor of her great-grandmother Olive Middleton's three brothers who all fought and died in World War I.

2021

In 2021, Kate recycled her Alexander McQueen outfit from three years prior.

She changed up her accessories, opting for a black wide-brimmed hat and pearl drop earrings, reminiscent of Princess Diana's Remembrance Sunday attire from 1992.

2022

For the first Remembrance Sunday following Queen Elizabeth's death two months prior, the new Princess of Wales took her place on a balcony overlooking the Cenotaph war memorial beside Queen Camilla. Kate wore a Catherine Walker coat, large hat and gloves with a trio of poppy pins.

2023

On Nov. 12, 2023, the Princess of Wales wore a black Catherine Walker coatdress, notable for its military-inspired style and intricate detailing, according to WWD. She accesorized the look with a familiar Philip Treacy hat, which she has worn on different occasions since 2006, five years before she married into the royal family.

In a sentimental nod to the late Queen Elizabeth, Kate chose to wear Her late Majesty's standout diamond and pearl leaf earrings. She also wore a military brooch that paid homage to her role as Commander-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm.

2024

After a difficult year facing a cancer diagnosis, the Princess of Wales made a triumphant appearance on the Foreign Office balcony on Nov. 10, 2024, following her announcement on Sept. 9 that she had completed chemotherapy. Kate's appearance at both Remembrance Sunday at The Cenotaph and the Festival of Remembrance at Royal Albert Hall the night prior on Nov. 9 marked her first back-to-back appearances at major public royal events throughout all of 2024 as she prioritized her health.

For the appearance on Nov. 10, Kate paid tribute to her late mother-in-law Princess Diana by wearing a black Catherine Walker coatdress (Walker was the late Princess of Wales' go-to designer and friend). She also paid homage to the late Queen Elizabeth by wearing her Bahrain Pearl Drop earrings.
