Kate Middleton Makes Bold Royal Ascot Debut in Red Outfit by Wedding Gown Designer
The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, made a stunning appearance at the 2023 Royal Ascot races in Berkshire on Friday.
It was her first day at the event, and she did not disappoint with her choice of attire.
Kate wore a scarlet red tea-length dress with a draped v-neckline and slightly puffed long sleeves by Alexander McQueen, the designer behind her 2011 Royal Wedding gown.
Kate completed her look with a coordinating floral hat by Philip Treacy, gold statement earrings, a matching clutch, and heels.
She travelled in the second horse-drawn carriage of the Royal Procession with Prince William, Princess Beatrice, and Adordo Maipelli Mozzi.

The Duchess looked radiant in her bold red outfit, which was a departure from her usual demure fashion statements at Royal Ascot.
In previous years, Kate has opted for more understated looks at the popular horse race.
She made her Ascot debut in 2016 wearing a long-sleeve white lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana with a straw-jane tailor fascinator.
The following year, she stepped out in a shorter version of the same dress by Alexander McQueen plus a bespoke fascinator.
Kate made a fan-favourite style statement when she returned to the race in 2019, wearing a cornflower blue dress with sheer sleeves by Elie Saab and a matching hat with a major rose detail by Philip Treacy.
She even recycled this combo for a Buckingham Palace garden party.
However, Kate’s most memorable Ascot outfit was in 2022 when she recreated a look that Princess Diana wore to another equestrian event.
Last year, Kate wore a white and brown polka dot long-sleeve dress by Alessandra Rich and topped the look with a complimentary hat with flowers by Sally Ann Proven.
Kate seems to have embraced a bolder style since becoming the Princess of Wales in September, from blazer parades to statement earrings and even red nail polish.
According to Bethanne Holt, fashion news and features director of the Daily Telegraph, it feels like a whole new mindset for Kate.
“I think this is her power moment,” Holt said.
“She’s easing into the Princess of Wales role and that promotion that she’s had in such a beautiful way.”
Kate’s latest Royal Ascot outfit is her boldest yet and has received widespread praise from fashion enthusiasts.
The Duchess of Cambridge continues to make headlines with her impeccable sense of style, and her choice of Alexander McQueen for this year’s Ascot race was a fitting tribute to her wedding gown designer.
