Kate Middleton wears Catherine Walker’s Beau Tie Coat Dress in two different colours: black and red.

She’s worn the black version of the coat three times in public to date.
She debuted the garment for Prince Philip’s funeral in April 2021.
In September 2022, she wore it at a reception held on the eve of the Queen’s funeral (above).
She wore it for a third time to the funeral of the Duchess of Kent in September 2025.

The piece is from Catherine Walker’s AW20 collection. The company show the coat on their website in red. On their Instagram page, they refer to it as a “Christmas Dress”.

Please note: I re-coloured the product image of the coat from green to black, as no image of the coat was available on the Catherine Walker website.
