This afternoon (18th October 2017), Kate joined William and Harry for an event at the London Stadium in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.

William, Kate and Garry celebrating with Coach Core

The royal trio attended the graduation of 150 coaching apprentices from Coach Core, an apprenticeship scheme that gives young people aged between 16-14 the chance to become the next generation of inspirational sports coaches.

Coach Core is part of The Royal Foundation, a philanthropic organisation founded by William and Harry, which Kate joined in 2011.

During the visit, William, Kate and Harry met with met with the charity’s coaches, partners and supporters.    The trio got to witness the apprentices receive a masterclass from some of the top coaches in gymnastics, tennis, football and rugby.

The Royal Foundation formed Coach Core in 2012.  It is a powerful legacy of The London 2012 Olympic Games.

Kate spoke with Judy Murray, who is, of course, a tennis coach and mother of professional tennis players Jamie and Andy Murray.

You may recall that Kate attended one of Judy Murray’s tennis workshops in Edinburgh last year:

Back to the coaching event.  The Royals celebrated with the new graduates from the programme.

It was Kate’s second surprise appearance of the week after the joined a children’s event at Paddington Station on Monday.

Usually, Kensington Palace announces Kate’s appearances in advance.  This appears to have been put on hold for the time being.  As you may recall, Kate continues to battle with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a condition that causes severe vomiting during pregnancy.   I’d theorise that Kate doesn’t have any solo engagements planned for the foreseeable, but will join William on any Heads Together or Royal Foundation engagements if she feels well enough.

Kate’s outfit:

For today’s surprise event, Kate opted for a double-breasted blazer in a steel blue colour.  It’s by Philosophy Di Lorenzo Serafini.

The blue wool-mix jacket features peak lapels, patch side pockets and brass-tone buttons.

If you read our blog earlier this year, Kate’s jacket will look familiar.  She wore the red version to an engagement with the Air Cadets on Valentine’s Day, in February.

The double-breasted blazer is from the designer’s resort 2017 collection.  It retailed for £720 (around $949 USD).  Sadly, it’s no longer available for purchase.

However, FarFetch.com sells an almost identical jacket by the same brand in black if you’re looking to copy Kate’s style.

To my eye, the jacket looks identical aside from two small differences:  velvet trim on the collar and a lack of buttons on the jacket’s cuffs.

Kate paired the jacket with a black turtleneck sweater and a pair of black jeans.

We’re unable to offer any specific information about these pieces, sadly.  Kate does appear to wear the turtleneck on a regular basis though.  Here’s Kate wearing the sweater during a visit to Paris earlier this year.

Now on to Kate’s boots.  Regular readers will have noticed they’re new (to us, we’ve not seen Kate wear them before).  Russell and Bromley confirm Kate’s wearing their Fallon Dry style (£295), as first suggested by multiple people on Twitter.

Copy Kate for less:  Fellow blogger Charlotte found this superb “repliKate” from Office for just £85 – they cost a third less than Kate’s boots!

Finally on to Kate’s earrings.  She chose her Kiki McDonough Lauren Leaf style for the sporting event. According to the designer, the 18ct yellow gold and pave diamond earrings were inspired by British ballerina Lauren Cuthbertson.  They retailed for £2,200 on Kiki McDonough’s website (which is around $2,900 USD at today’s rates), though they’re currently out of stock.

      I’m a big fan of this look too…. but for some reason, I prefer the jacket in red. So cheery and vibrant!

        Yeah, I like the red more too. More bold! The blue feels more toned down, mature.

      I’ve noticed that too! The blue jacket and pink Orla Keily dress were both from older collections though, the dress from 2013! So, I’m wondering if she’s just gone “baby mad” looking at pastel colours and baby things again recently and that’s been reflected in her outfit choices, haha.

    I think the jeans might be the Zara Trafaluc denim wear style. She’s worn them before and I own a pair myself. The fit is very comfortable which would be appropriate for someone in her condition. They also fit very snugly in the leg which seems to be the case with these jeans. Hope this helps.

    Well done, that support the sport, they do not have to meet with athletes.
    Kate has a good taste and most importantly, she wears it all herself, she carries all her designer’s designs herself! Well done, dresses with taste! My respect is Kate and full of positive!
    Sincerely, Vladimir
