The Duchess of Cambridge wore a caped coat and now, naturally, we need to own it

Mulberry for the win
Kate Middleton ended her impromptu tour of Ireland in a stellar caped coat that we're eyeing off with keen interest...

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge popped up in Northern Ireland over the past two days for a surprise visit. The pair played soccer with local kids, attended a glitzy evening gala and yesterday, took part in a walkabout in Ballymena. 

Kate Middleton has long favoured the elegant coat dress, and whilst she’s donned some spectacular varieties over the years, her choice for this event might just be our favourite yet. 

Staving off the cool Ireland weather, Kate opted for a baby blue cape coat by Mulberry from the brand’s F/W ’18 collection. The knee-skimming style was belted at the waist and featured a cape detailing on the shoulders that added an unexpected (but totally welcome) edge to the otherwise classic piece.

With temperatures still in the low 20s and high teens here in the Middle East, that’s practically coat weather, right? 

Now, see how you can get your hands on the Missoni dress Kate wore during the trip
