After a challenging 2024 due to her abdominal surgery and subsequent cancer diagnosis, treatment, and recovery, Kate Middleton was back to work—for the most part—this year.

In February, the Sunday Times reported that the Princess of Wales wanted the focus to be on her work and not her wardrobe, and that Kensington Palace would no longer be releasing details of her outfits. Soon after, however the Palace clarified that it wasn’t Kate’s intent, but a message from the spokesperson. “Over the last week, I have received numerous questions about a story regarding The Princess of Wales’s clothing and how Kensington Palace shares information about her outfits,” a spokesperson said. “To be clear, there has been no change in our approach to sharing information about Her Royal Highness’s clothing.” For the most part, however, the Palace has continued to share details on Kate’s clothing.

The past year brought many high fashion moments from the Princess of Wales, including three State Banquets. In December, the Princess also debuted a new-to-her tiara, the Oriental Circlet Tiara—which was commissioned for Queen Victoria and a favorite of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. It also saw more casual appearances, and plenty of repeats from previous years. In chronological order, here are Kate’s top 20 outfits of the past year:

Kate kicked off 2025 with the news she was in remission, and visited the hospital where she received treatment last year. “As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal. I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead,” she wrote in a message.

While her fashion was not the focus of the appearance, she showed up in a classic Kate outfit: a tartan Blaze Milano coat, a Kiltane cashmere turtleneck, and an Edeline Lee midi skirt.

In February in Wales, Kate surprised royal watchers when she wore a Ralph Lauren coat she had previously worn way back in 2007. She styled the cropped jacket with a brown turtleneck and a pleated tartan Gucci skirt.

At a Thanksgiving Service to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day at Westminster Abbey, Kate wore Princess Diana’s diamond and pearl earrings and she chose a white polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich. It was yet another repeat outfit; she wore the look two years prior, on Garter Day in June 2023.

Kate loves this Self-Portrait dress so much she wore it back-to-back in quick succession: In May at a concert celebrating VE Day 80 (left), and at Garter Day in June. It’s a favorite outfit of the Princess—she first wore it in 2021, and again in 2022. (More on Kate’s repeat outfits, here.) She even kept her jewelry the same on both outings, choosing vintage pearl cluster earrings and a pearl necklace from Susan Caplan.
