Catherine, Princess of Wales looked like the Princess she is when greeting France's President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron today in London.

Her Royal Highness wore an elevated take on the balletcore trend by pairing Dior's 30 Montaigne Rose Des Vents pink bar jacket with a Rose D'Occasion tulle skirt (both available to shop in other shades now). Catherine, née Kate Middleton, continued the hue down to her toes with a pair of Gianvito Rossi suede pumps in Praline, a Mulberry Bayswater clutch in a new blush pink shade (shop similar) and a bespoke hat by Jess Collett Milliner.

The mother-of-three paid homage to her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, by wearing her Collingwood Earrings, and her late Grandmother-in-law, Queen Elizabeth II's Three Strand Pearl Necklace to welcome France's first couple on the first day of their three-day state visit to Britain.

We saw the 43-year-old just last week in a much more casual ensemble: Blazé Milano blazer she's worn at least twice publicly, pairing it with a Ralph Lauren pin-striped shirt, brown trousers, her favourite white Veja trainers and Trinity earrings by Cartier to a wellbeing garden at Colchester Hospital.

The Princess of Wales is also expected at Wimbledon's Royal Box during the final weekend of the tennis championships, we can't wait to see what she wears next.
