The Princess of Wales stepped out in Canterbury on the afternoon of March 25 for the Enthronement Ceremony installing Dame Sarah Mullally as the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. She carried a classic Chanel flap bag, which appeared intentionally squashed and pre-crumpled, held as a clutch. This style mirrored Matthieu Blazy’s recent runway designs featuring over-stuffed, disheveled bags that slip open purposefully. Her outfit included a signature checked tailored coat dress and accessories like wide-brimmed hats in matching check patterns, signaling a fresh direction for her typically minimalist style. Known favorites in her wardrobe include Alexander McQueen tailoring, pearls, and baker boy hats. This outing followed a busy week for Catherine, who marked St Patrick’s Day with the Irish Royal Guard and hosted Nigeria’s President and First Lady in an ensemble by British-Nigerian designer Tolu Coker.
