Kate Middleton has worn some iconic looks for the annual Trooping The Colour, a parade to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign.
This year, the grand ceremony will take place as part of a long weekend of Platinum Jubilee celebrations as the nation, and Commonwealth, celebrates Queen Elizabeth's seventy years on the throne.
The Duchess of Cambridge always draws the eye in her balcony appearances during the event, and with Trooping the Colour having been cancelled for the past two years, we're excited to see what she'll be wearing today.
Kate recently placed first as having the most searched for royal hairstyle, but it's her fashion choices that has kept us hooked time and time again.
She wore a glamorous black and white-trimmed dress to the London premiere of Top Gun, accompanied by Tom Cruise, and adjusted the dress to make it less revealing.
She even stopped the press in a gorgeous floor-length floral Erdem dress at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2021.
So clearly Kate has an eye for style, and here are some of her most iconic Trooping The Colour looks, including her first appearance as a young royal…
2011
Kate made her balcony debut as a member of the royal family in 2011, having married Prince William that April.
All eyes were on the Duchess of Cambridge as she stood smiling beside her new husband.
The future queen of England wore a sleek white Alexander McQueen coat-dress, black Lock & Co hat and a subtle pair of Kiki McDonough earrings.
2012
Britain celebrated its most recent milestone jubilee in 2012 when Queen Elizabeth reached 60 years on the throne.
And while there are dozens of beautiful pictures from the grand festivities, Kate stood out in a trim, classy Erdem dress and Jane Corbett hat.
She spent time in the Royal Procession in a carriage with her step-mother-in-law Camilla and brother-in-law Harry, who was at this point yet to meet and marry Meghan Markle.
2013
Trooping the Colour was Kate's final public appearance in 2013 before giving birth to Prince George, now eight years old.
She wore a demure baby pink coat from returning designer Alexander McQueen and matching hat with pink ribbon from Jane Corbett.
She was photographed next to Princess Eugenie of York, who recently moved to Portugal after her husband Jack Brooksback landed a multi-million job role.
Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, was missing from the celebration after recuperating from abdominal surgery at the time.
2014
Kate's penchant for Alexander McQueen coats returned in 2014, as she donned this glamorous jacket and skirt combo with a sharp collar and brooch.
Her hat was a floral design by Jane Taylor, and again she wore earrings from Kiki McDonough and Annoushka.
2015
Kate wore a smart coat by Alexander McQueen and Jane Corbett made a return in a large white feathered hat.
The dangling earrings are yet another combination from Kiki McDonough and Annoushka.
A rather stony-faced Prince Harry, here aged 31, wasn't looking best pleased with the proceedings, which is in stark contrast to the smiling faces of both Kate and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla.
2016
It was a fresh-faced family occasion at the Trooping the Colour in 2016, as Kate held young Princess Charlotte – wearing a sweet pink dress, shoes and hairclip – alongside Prince William.
Little George was also dressed smartly for the annual event, while Kate wore her speciality Alexander McQueen-designed cream coat with gaping collar, and a hat with flower from Philip Treacy.
Breaking away from tradition, her earrings were Balenciaga – so very in-fashion!
2017
You guessed it, the dress is Alexander McQueen!
Kate's all-pink look was completed with an intricately trimmed Jane Taylor hat, and earrings from the Queen's personal collection.
George looked adorable in a pair of burgundy braces, while Charlotte beamed in another classic pink floral dress.
2018
In one of her standout looks from the past few years, Kate donned a skyblue dress (yes, Alexander McQueen again!) with a pleated skirt and tiny shoulder puffs.
Her hat, a stunning design by Juliette Botterill, was the perfect accompaniment and her jewellery was by Kiki McDonough.
Behind her, Meghan Markle smouldered in a faded pink, off-the-shoulder ensemble with her long hair worn loose around her shoulders.
2019
With their family having welcomed its third addition, Prince Louis, 2019 was a notable moment in the family diary.
Kate wore a lovely pale yellow dress by Alexander McQueen, a Philip Treacy hat and another pair of the Queen's earrings.
