Kate Middleton's Bold Red Outfit for South Korean State Visit Sparks Debate
The Princess of Wales' outfit, largely made up of recycled pieces, was seen as a diplomatic nod to South Korea and sparked a discussion about perceived double standards in royal fashion.
- Princess Kate Middleton welcomed the President of the Republic of Korea Yoon Suk Yeo and First Lady Kim Keon Hee to the U.K. on Tuesday for a state visit, dressed in a bold red outfit that has been described as 'one of her bravest looks of all time'.
- The outfit, which included a new bespoke red wool cape by Catherine Walker & Co, was largely made up of recycled pieces, possibly in response to the ongoing cost of living crisis in the U.K.
- The bright red color of Kate's outfit was a diplomatic nod to South Korea, a tradition often followed by the royal family during state visits.
- Kate's outfit sparked a debate on social media about a perceived double standard in the way her and Meghan Markle's fashion choices are received by the public and the media.
- The state visit coincided with the signing of the Downing Street Accords, a free trade agreement between the U.K. and South Korea.
