Kate Middleton Wore a Crossbody Bag with a Long Coat ArticlePure

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece.

Repurposing pieces I already have in my closet can sometimes feel like a chore, but if Kate Middleton can do it, I can, too.

On Monday, the Princess of Wales wore a fresh take on one of her go-to winter staples, a long coat, while out with Prince William. While the royal has worn several iterations of the luxe top layer in recent weeks, this time, she opted to switch things up by styling it with trendy pants and a black top as opposed to her standard midi dress. 

Kate accessorized the polished outfit with pointed-toe shoes, a stack of pearl necklaces, and a hands-free crossbody bag similar to those we’ve seen on Gisele Bündchen, Jennifer Lopez, and Jennifer Garner. Her easy ensemble proved that a few simple tweaks can make closet staples feel brand new. 

If you’re ready to join me in shopping Kate’s look, I rounded up similar pieces from Amazon, Gap, Madewell, and more starting at just $23.

Kate Middleton’s Outfit Blueprint

Gap 365 High-Rise Pleated Trouser

Sometimes, a girl needs a break from constrictive denim, which is when I reach for my trusty wide-leg pants. This pleated pair from Gap looks similar to Kate’s regal silhouette, and they come in eight vibrant and neutral shades, including basic black. Dress them up with pointed-toe shoes and a blouse, like the Princess of Wales, for a polished look that’s great for the office. Or, dress them down with sneakers, a T-shirt, and a trench coat, like me, for days spent running errands before meeting up with friends. 

Kate Spade Kenzie Small Convertible Crossbody

Crossbody bags were definitely one of the most-reached-for accessories among celebrities in 2024 — and that doesn’t seem to be changing in 2025. Take after the former Duchess’ fuss-free style with this convertible crossbody bag from Kate Spade Outlet. It comes in four colors — black, silver, pink, and green — and the chain strap is easy to remove on days when you’d rather carry a clutch. Plus, as one reviewer noted, it’s “perfect for formal occasions.”

Chouyatou Double-Breasted Long Coat

Kate’s winter outfits are never complete without one of her signature long coats, and this option from Amazon closely resembles her most recent iteration. More than 1,200 shoppers have given it a five-star rating, highlighting its elegant look and warm feel in reviews, and it comes in sizes XS to XXL.
