Prince William and the velvet jacket that means a lot<

Once a velvet, always a velvet? This seems to be Prince William's new fashion credo in this fall of 2021, he usually subscribes to classic costumes. During the presentation of the first edition of the Earthshot Prize (1), this Sunday, October 17 in London, the husband of Kate Middleton appeared dressed in a short velvet jacket in fir green color, (matching, incidentally, to the carpet of the ceremony), a tone appreciated by royal families in the past. Under his blazer, branded by the British brand Reiss, the Duke of Cambridge wore a black turtleneck. The rest of his outfit consisted of simple black pants and a pair of patent leather derbies.

On September 28, for the preview of the latest James Bond, Dying can wait, Kate Middleton's husband had already created a surprise by wearing a black velvet suit jacket. The bow tie was in order but the material of the jacket affirmed a bolder stylistic choice than usual.

Already worn

For the event, dubbed the 'Eco Oscars', guests were asked not to buy any new outfits. When Lady Di's son received the information, he opted for this green jacket. Perfectly in the theme of the ceremony, he had already worn it on the occasion of a charity gala at the Roundhouse in Camden in London in 2019. His wife, Kate Middleton, meanwhile, decided to bring out a dress designed by Alexander McQueen, which she wore for the first time in 2011 during a Bafta reception at the Belasco Theater in Los Angeles.
