The Princess of Wales has a fabulously festive wardrobe, and one of our favourite Yuletide looks she’s ever worn was back in 2018.
In 2018, Catherine looked incredible alongside her husband, Prince William, when she hosted a Christmas party at Kensington Palace for families and children of deployed personnel from RAF Coningsby and RAF Marham serving in Cyprus.
Dressing with December in mind, the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis sported a festive red checked skirt by one of her favourite designers, Emilia Wickstead.

Clearly a firm favourite in Catherine’s wardrobe, she wore it two years later in 2020, during the royal train tour of the UK, adding a black roll-neck jumper, heeled Ralph Lauren boots and teaming it with her Alexander McQueen bold red coat.
The celebrity following
It may be seven years since the royal donned the stylish separate but it seems that some of the UK’s most popular TV presenters have decided to emulate the royal’s look in 2026.
On Monday’s This Morning, the fabulous Cat Deeley shared a picture of her on-screen look, which featured a skirt that came from the high street.
Bringing the festive cheer, Cat wore a red turtleneck jumper by Ro&Zo and a tartan skirt by Boden, which featured tartan hues of red, mauve and amber.
Last week, Alex Jones, star of The One Show, wore an incredible outfit also featuring a similar tartan skirt. Also from Boden, her skirt featured a ruby red colourway and her talented stylist, Tess Wright, selected a pair of Sézane boots and a chic knit by ASOS.
Get the tartan look
We’ve found a few stunning styles that are giving Catherine at Christmas.
This ‘Dottie’ skirt from Monsoon would look wonderful styled with a knitted jumper on Christmas Day, particularly as it features sumptuous velvet bows at the waist.
The ‘Sullivan’ skirt by Smock London makes for a striking style, featuring a deep hand-smocked waistband and a rich red colourway.
