Since returning from maternity leave, the Duchess of Cambridge has been subtly tweaking her wardrobe for a more regal look befitting a Queen in waiting.
And today her understated makeover continued as she visited the home of Leicester City to pay their respects to the five people who died in a helicopter crash last month, including the football club's owner.
The Duchess wore a recycled Catherine Walker coat dress, previously seen when she joined the Queen for Sunday service at Balmoral in August this year.
Although she's always been known for thriftiness, Kate's upped the ante since returning to royal duties in early October, re-wearing old outfits on nine out of 14 engagements.
Again, she deaparted from her favourite clutches and took a leaf out of the Queen's book by carrying a handbag instead.

Look elegant in grey like Kate wearing Catherine Walker
The Duchess of Cambridge is well known for her love of smart tailored outerwear, and can often be found sporting designs by Alexander McQueen, Beulah, Goat and Jenny Packham. But Catherine Walker is the label she turns to time and time again, and it's easy to see why.
She kept the cold at bay today wearing a grey checked coat that we first caught a glimpse of back in August when Kate attended a church service at Balmoral.
It's a bespoke design, featuring a Peter Pan collar with a black piped trim and a pleated flared skirt. She finished off the look with her new favourite velvet hair tie from J.Crew, a croc bag by Aspinal of London, Cassandra Goad earrings and shoes by Tod's. All in all, classic Kate.

It was one of the rare glimpses fans got of the Duchess over the summer as she took time out from royal duties after having Prince Louis in April.
Since returning to official duties in early October, it's been noted that the royal has been subtly tweaking her wardrobe to reflect a more regal style.
When the occasion demands it, she's been wearing bolder She's been wearing bold colours so that she can be easily spotted in a crowd just as the Queen does.
And she's worn old pieces on the majority of her royal engagements, picking out tailored pieces that could have at one point belonged in Her Majesty's wardrobe.

William and Kate, who knew the late Leicester City owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha are today visiting the city to recognise the compassion the people of Leicester and the club's fans have shown since the accident.
The four victims killed alongside the businessman were employees Nursara Suknamai and Kaveporn Punpare, pilot Eric Swaffer and his partner, Izabela Roza Lechowicz, who was also a professional pilot.
The five people were killed on October 27 when the helicopter crashed outside Leicester City's King Power Stadium soon after taking off.
In the aftermath of the crash, William paid tribute to the 'big contribution to football' made by the owner of Leicester City.
William, president of the Football Association and a keen football fan, said he was lucky to have known the billionaire duty-free entrepreneur for several years.
He said at the time: 'He made such a big contribution to football, not least through Leicester City's magical 2016 season that captured the imagination of the world.'

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
