I’m going to make a bold claim: Kate Middleton has never looked more glowy than she has on the Jubilee Tour. That’s right—the duchess who consistently serves up blow-dry inspiration and impressive outfits has been at her stylish best so far on her royal tour of the Caribbean. So much so it’s making us excited just thinking out what she might wear next. 

The first stop on the Duke and Duchess and Cambridge’s Jubilee Tour is Belize, where the couple have been meeting with the local people, making chocolate, and dancing like, well, let’s face it, the world’s watching. Next on their itinerary is Jamaica, and then it’s on to the Bahamas. 

Scroll on to see all of Kate Middleton’s impressive outfits from the Royal Jubilee Tour as she wears them.

Style Notes: Kicking off the last leg in their Royal Jubilee Tour of the Caribbean, Middleton chose a teal dress by Brit designer, Emilia Wickstead—a perfect match to the Bahamian flag. 

Style Notes: When in doubt, reach for the most princess-y Disney dress you can find. This stunning Philippa Lepley gown is the very pinnacle of regal eveningwear.

Style Notes: It looks like Middleton is just as charmed by Self-Portrait’s whimsical dresses as us—many a fashion girl falls back on her SP styles for wedding and events season. This peppermint green midi is such a refreshing shade to see her in.

Style Notes: In case you didn’t already own a Rixo dress (where have you been?) then this will persuade you! The swirly pink print and relaxed-but-romantic button-down style looks effortlessly pretty to throw on, whether you’re a royal in the Bahamas or heading to work on the Bakerloo line during a heatwave. The Izzy is now unfortunately sold-out, but we hope that due to demand the brand might consider re-stocking it


Style Notes: We knew instantly that this frilled and peplum-waisted dress was from a favourite British brand of Kate’s, Alessandra Rich. Normally, she opts for the more understated options from each season but this is truly adventurous and we love to see it.

Style Notes: Upon departing Jamaica, Middleton chose an Emilia Wickstead midi dress in a bright, on-trend Kelly green shade, which she accessorised with an ornate hummingbird brooch (the hummingbird is the national bird of Jamaica) and her signature beige court shoes. Recognise the dress? That’s because she wore it to Wimbledon in 2021. 

Style Notes: On their final, morning in Jamaica, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the inaugural commissioning parade for officers who have completed the Caribbean Military Academy’s Officer Training Programme. For the occasion, Kate chose a white lace dress, matching hat, and court shoes. 

Style Notes: For a meeting with the Prime Minister of Jamaica, Andrew Holness, and his wife Juliet, Kate chose a white suit from Alexander McQueen, a  bright orange blouse from Ridley London, and bracelets from Jamaican-born designer Lashawndla Bailey Miller. Her bag? It’s vintage. 

Style Notes: Never before have we seen Kate Middleton wear so much vintage as we have on this Royal Juilbee Tour of the Caribbean. Arriving for a day of reggae and football in Jamaica, Kate chose a coral-and-turquoise ‘50s summer dress from vintage boutique Willow Hilson Vintage. The dress originally had spaghetti straps, but seamstresses made use of a matching shawl to widen the straps for the Duchess. 

Style Notes: For their first evening in Jamaica, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended a glittering black-tie dinner hosted by the Governor General. Naturally, Kate brought the glamour in an embellished tulle gown from one of her go-to designers, Jenny Packham. 

Style Notes: Continuing their Royal Jubilee Tour, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in Jamaica where they have everything from black-tie dinners to military processions to look forward to. Switching things from her Belize departure look, Kate wore a bright yellow Roksanda Ilincic dress with her hair swept back into an elevated ponytail. 

Style Notes: After a few days exploring this beautiful country, the outfit Kate Middleton wore to fly out of Belize is just as chic as the one she landed in—if not more so! For the departure, Middleton wore a vintage Saint Laurent red jacket—a piece she’s said to have bought while at university, white wide-leg tailored trousers, and white accessories

Kate Middleton is no stranger to re-wearing her fashion, but dusting off a vintage jacket she bought almost 20 years ago while studying at university? That’s impressive. 

Style Notes: On the third day of Caribbean Royal Tour, Kate traded in her glorious ballgown from the night before (see below) for a more practical ensemble. She was exploring the Maya archeological site in the Chiquibul Forest, after all. For the day out, Kate chose a T-shirt from John Lewis & Partners, khaki cargo trousers from G-Star Raw that feel so ‘90s, her Ray-Bans from the previous day, and her trusty Superga trainers—the same pair favoured by Alexa Chung and general fashion types. Middleton has certainly been dressing to the theme on this trip, and we love to see it. 

Cargo trousers are proving popular with the style set; particularly those who subscribe to the Y2K aesthetic. Now, Middleton is getting in on the action with this very G-Star pair. 

Middleton doesn’t wear trainers in public often but, when she does, it’s likely they’ll be Supergas. 

Style Notes: The Vampire’s Wife dresses are a fashion editor favourite, so you can imagine our delight when Kate stepped out in this breathtaking creation from the Brit brand for an evening reception in Belize. From the fluted sleeves to the shimmering fabrication, to the on-trend pink hue, she has just raised the bar in terms of her evening attire. 

Kate’s dress is currently unavailable, but this ruffled iteration is just as show-stopping. 

Style Notes: Kicking off the second day of the Royal Jubilee Tour, Kate Middleton wore a floral dress from Tory Burch and beautiful matching earrings from French fashion brand SĂ©zane. Perhaps it’s a combination of her outfit, glossy hair, and the sun on her skin, but this outfit is holiday dressing goals.  Of course, Kate is no stranger to rewearing her fashion—for the outing, she dusted off a pair of Stuart Weitzman cork wedges, which we’ve seen her in on multiple occasions, plus an Anya Hindmarch clutch. Note how her bag picks up and enhances the red colour within her dress? Masterful. 

Style Notes: Later, Middleton chose to add a pair of sunglasses to her outfit—cool Ray-Bans, no less! She really is a woman after our own hearts. 

Kate Middleton’s Tory Burch dress has now sold out, but in the meantime, you can still create her look with this equally beautiful dress from the same designer. 

Her pretty earrings, however, are still available. 

Middleton’s Ray-Ban RB4221 sunglasses will never go out of style. She opted for the tortoiseshell colourway, but the all-black iteration feels just as sleek. 

Style Notes: For their first appearance in Belize, which included meeting Belizean Prime Minister Juan Antonio Briceño and his wife, Rossana, the Duke and Duchess and Cambridge co-ordinated in blue. For the occasion, Middleton chose a piece from one of her favourite designers, Jenny Packham. Opting for a lace dress in a gorgeous cobalt hue that perfectly matches the Belizean flag, she accessorised the ensemble with shoes from Emmy London and sapphire jewellery.
