People Editorial Guidelines Published on February 3, 2023 04:18 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Photo: Bauer-Griffin; princeandprincessofwales/Instagram Kate Middleton is known for recycling her favorite pieces of clothing — and her latest look was over a decade in the making. The Princess of Wales, 41, released a video with U.K. radio host Roman Kemp on Friday as part of her Shaping Us campaign, bringing attention to the importance of the early years of children's lives. In the footage, the pair chatted about mental health while strolling in the countryside of Hertfordshire, England. Princess Kate kept warm in a brown "Darwin" jacket by L.K. Bennett — a piece that's been in her closet since 2011. She's worn the coat on several previous occasions, including while taking her dog Lupo for a walk in 2012 and during a vacation to Switzerland in 2013. Under her coat, Kate wore another familiar piece: her Holland Cooper Fair Isle turtleneck sweater. She's previously worn the cozy top to read a children's book on CBeebies Bedtime Stories in February 2022 and again in December 2022 to decorate a Christmas tree ahead of her holiday concert.

She's also known for choosing previously worn ensembles when she's a guest at a wedding — a clever trick to make sure she never upstages the bride on her big day. In addition to rewearing outfits, the Princess of Wales also stays sustainable by wearing vintage pieces, like the 1950s dress she wore during her March 2022 tour stop in Jamaica.

In keeping with the event's earth-friendly theme, guests were asked not to purchase new dresses or suits for the evening. Kate adhered to the sustainable fashion guidelines in a bright green off-the-shoulder gown by Solace London, which she rented from HURR, a rental platform in the U.K. for designer dresses. The exact dress worn by Kate is now being rented by others. She accessorized her look with the ultimate rewear — an emerald and diamond choker that belonged to Princess Diana.
