We can
totally see Kate Middleton spending Christmas Day in this designer knit
Forget your tartan pyjamas and novelty Christmas jumpers, as Kate Middleton’s cardigan just proved that you can do the festive season in style. The Duchess of Cambridge was seen wearing a chic Miu Miu knit when she appeared in the first trailer for Royal Carols – Together At Christmas. The Christmas carol concert was hosted by the royal at Westminster Abbey on December 8, and will broadcast on ITV on Christmas Eve.
Kate Middleton’s designer cardigan is a modern take on a classic festive knit. It is made from a dreamy cashmere material, with a diamond pattern and black and white roses woven throughout. It even comes with mother-of-pearl buttons and a detachable cotton collar, giving you two looks in one. Kate made sure to keep the collar on hers, and we can’t blame her. As usual, her brunette hair was styled in bouncy waves and her makeup was radiant. We will definitely be purchasing Kate’s favourite beauty products after seeing this photo!

The royal is a big fan of the colour red, and her outfit reminded us of her recent appearance at an event hosted by the Forward Trust in London. Kate rocked a killer red rollneck jumper by Ralph Lauren, which perfectly matched her pleated skirt by Christopher Kane.
