Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales wows in recycled red pantsuit at coronation concert
Kate Middleton arrived at the coronation concert in a striking red suit she recycled for the event in a subtle nod to King Charles' passion for the environment.
Rather than splashing out on a new outfit for the occasion, the Princess of Wales restyled an Alexander McQueen pantsuit in a fiery red shade which she previously wore in January.

She accessorised with a Van Cleef and Arpels necklace she's been spotted in several times and wore her hair in long, loose curls.
The Princess of Wales has been known to recycle her outfits before and the move is in line with King Charles' passion for environmental conservation.
She sat alongside her and Prince William's two eldest children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, while their youngest Prince Louis is understood to have stayed at home due to his age.

She wore a stunning ivory silk crepe Alexander McQueen dress, featuring delicate silver embroidery for the coronation ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
The gown was covered by her royal regalia, but royal watchers delighted in her accessories, which included pearl drop earring originally owned by Diana and a floral headpiece by Jess Collett and Alexander McQueen.
All of the senior royal women at the coronation ceremony wore white, including Queen Camilla and Princess Charlotte, whose outfit matched her mother's.

9Honey royal reporter Natalie Oliveri explained that wearing white for formal events is a time-honoured ritual.
"It's a coronation tradition for female members of the royal family to wear white," she said. "If you look back to late Queen's coronation in 1953, women of the royal family and the broader aristocracy all wore white."
