And she once again stole the show when she stepped out for the Irish Guards’ St. Patrick’s Day parade in a perfectly coordinated ensemble.

Kate Middleton Wears A Chic Green And Black Ensemble On St. Patrick's Day

The Princess of Wales, 44, who has been an Honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards since 2022, attended the regiment's annual parade at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire on Tuesday, March 17th.

During the Irish Guards' Parade, she made with tradition and presented sprigs of shamrock to the Officers and Guardsmen, as well as their regimental mascot, an Irish Wolfhound named Seamus.

The mom-of-three wore a chic black and green ensemble consisting of a three-quarter length double-breasted Alexander McQueen coat in a striking shade of emerald green, which she has worn before, elevated with a waist-cinching thick black belt. We never get tired of her outfit repeats!

The brunette beauty accessorized with coordinating black Cornelia James gloves and black sky-high Ralph Lauren booties, both of which we assume did a good job of keeping out the chill, and her Irish Guards' gold shamrock brooch.

The future queen's shiny hair was worn in a chic and intricate low braided bun to perfectly accommodate her forest green 'Meribel' hat by Gina Foster Millinery, which was a true standout feature of her outfit.
